Class Question

Dalayan Beginner
So, seeing as I'm returning and (maybe) not continuing with what I left off with, what's a good class to roll that is needed due to low server pop? I will not, however, be boxing, depending on how hard that will make i will remain to be seen.
Its a choice between one of the tanks,beastlord or a wizard
 
The main thing that the server needs is active people.

That said, tank roles are difficult to get into, I would imagine. Beastlord or wizard are probably easier just because you have more dps spots than tank spots in a typical group or raid setup.
 
Yea, tanks are ridiculously gear dependent relative to the other classes. And take a very long time until they're useful. With that said, play what you want with enough dedication it can work.
 
i would advise not to make a tank and would recommend something that solos well without gear
 
There is never enough mained enc or shammy. For pure solo ability, with little gear need, then bard is the best bet.. but I hope you don't get dizzy easy. Though druid/wizzie are not far after that in light gear solo ability.
 
Necro can also kite pretty well and mage can put a lot of weight on their pet instead of themselves so those are also things to consider.
 
If you main an enchanter you can solo pretty okay but as your gear gets better your kill speed will remain relatively the same while soloing, necros are cool for soloing because they have a pet, can kite, and require 0 buffs as well as scaling very well with gear
 
Necros solo very well, possibly the best nonuber geared soloing class, but there are two problems there:
1. Soloing well is still leagues behind boxing mediocrely
2. I cannot think of a single instance of anyone saying "man, we really need a necro". Maybe reactively after a wipe people lament the lack of a necro, but nobody is proactively beating down necromancer doors to get them to come out and play. There is probably some fight that necros are needed on, one time back in 2009 that a guild was recruiting necros, or some hopelessly cheery person who will say all classes are important, but no. Just no.
From the classes available I'd say roll and BST and have a WIZ follow him around for ports and a nuke/jolt macro.

Pretty sure there is still AT LEAST 1 fight you will need a necro for and that aside necros are good dps overall. They provide nice recovery tricks and many other things that people fail to account for such as dots reducing dmg of mobs.
Anyone saying necros are not a worthwhile class is just ignorant.

Then I guess I am really lucky that I did not say that. Try to follow:
"man, we really need a dps. oh look, a necro!"
is different than
"man, we really need a necro"
One of those is regularly uttered, the other not so much. Some classes are requested specifically, others specifically but you only need one, and the rest fall into a pool of archetype needs.

sounds an awful lot like man we really need a necro to me.......
Most raid content you dont even need a specific class at all. There are certain scenarios you need X class for Y fight but in general thats not the case.
I dont know of any class that is having their doors beat down to come out and play.
Maybe you are referring to enchanters? This would be about the only class i can say guilds are actively specifically looking for and you dont even need an enchanter to do a lot of content though they do make things much easier.
Otherwise for the most part every other class falls in the same o we need X role hey look there is Y class. Other than a few specific fights and instances.
 
Cinny, I think you get on here and argue with people as a hobby. You enjoy selecting out one line our of many and really harping on it with dubious logic and intentional misunderstanding too much for this to be non-troll behavior. Your passive insults here and in other threads are boorish.
The OP was asking "what's a good class to roll that is needed due to low server pop". Necro is not that class. It will never be that class. Raids will search far and wide for a cleric, bard, shaman, enchanter, druid, and others if they do not have one, that "others" is almost never a necro. BST has more appealing, possibly search far and wide for worthy, buffs and paragon (suck it necros, Mind Wrack doesn't land on shit). Hinging character selection on "at least 1 fight" is probably not the best plan if the stated goal is selecting a class that is needed.

Well at least i don't state something as ignorant as that... If you dont realize that all the classes are important and have their role then you clearly dont understand this game.

Also note it takes two people to argue and who has repeatedly shown up to every discussion i comment on to argue and batter..... Interesting..... And who showed up to derail a statement that a necro was a class worth considering to this thread.
 
Please stop bickering and shitting up someone else's thread.

Here is a piece of advice about classes that I have seen stay relevant for the last 3-4 years.

#1 and #2 sought after classes and this changes depending on the day is a mained cleric and/or enchanter that is good at pressing buttons.

#3 is a shaman

#4 is a ranger

#5 is beast lord

#6 is a mained tank but this is by far the hardest role to fill it requires a ton of playtime and investment by you and others to be of use rather than retired tank xyz.

#7 is any random dps.

#8 and almost never is a Druid.

This holds true in groups/guilds/raids. People always want to min/max and some classes are just that much more beneficial for the situation than others. If you want a more detailed reasoning why 1-8 is 1-8 I can get into that but I think 95% of the intelligent population that has been around for longer than a year would agree.

Just to throw this out there, but there are certain things that require lock picking/trap stuff. Not many, but a few.
 
I would make a Wizard. DPS is awesome, they are fun to play. They are needed for ports, especially later on in game. And...more. Squishy they can be, but SO much fun blowing stuff up.
