I hate casters. Almost as much as scout zergs.

The easiest class to play is a healer that doesn't mez or stun, a shaman that doesn't disease or shear, most of those two classes are played by people that would rather you die, so they can get the rez rp's. Phase shift and egg are the typical healer's two most used abilities.


The healer of any realm is the control freak, Power monger, my way or the highway kind of person.


The sneak is the ganker, griefer, always the guy in /region complaining or bragging


The caster wants to kill you with a single push of the button, he/she wishes their rr5 was a 2000 range ae with 2000 radius that would kill every enemy player in range. Usable ever 5 minutes would be fine by them.


The pure tank is the romantic, the history buff, the dungeons and dragons kind of person. Mostly males this class...


The most difficult/frustrating/useless classes to play, I'll list one in each realm. Mauler, Mauler, Mauler.

OMG spot on this is the post of the year

hahaha, good one!

if there is one archetype that produced more 100% skillfree toons besides archers, then it is casters. all those hordes of rr12 wizzards, rofllocks, runemasters and bainshees that use like 1 hotbar full of ae-leech + moc.

I see you dont play a caster and prob dont have any situation awarenes.

EDIT: Anyone can faceroll in Zergs or in Lab. Try play some smallman, 1v1 or 8v8 instead.

thats basically the only thing i do in daoc. maybe you should read the question of the threadopener again, since it doesn't seem like you understood it.

There's a good balance of good/bad players playing every class, but at this stage in the game i would be surprised if anyone only had 1 character. Everyone plays a little of everything now, and typically have a minimum of 4-5 rr5+'s.

Overall, I'd say stealthers attract the extremes, both extremely great players, and terrible players seem to be attracted to the sneeks as their main.

CC/Support classes i would say typically have a higher overall collection of above average players. If they suck, they can't get groups and aren't really viable solo.

Cheese classes such as warlock/vamps/tics(sometimes) seem to attract the lower skillset people since it takes less effort to get a kill (chamber dump/claw spam/focus dps), but they still have some wicked skilled people playing them.

But as far as what type of class is hardest/easiest to play, is all up to preference. Any class can be wicked in the right hands, and the simplest class can be horrible if not played right. Someone can be wicked at playing a healer or bard in a smallman, but can be absolutely worthless on simple dps class.

lol @ people in here that think assassins are easy to play well

 

-----signature-----

Not well, but easy to play yes. It's evident from the number of people playing them and the number of stealthzergs around. It's very difficult to play one well and can take a lot of skill, but to just 'play' and do ok and earm some RPs, assassins have it pretty good, so that attracts a lot of retards to the class type (similarly to archers).

archers attract morons like a pile of profanity attracts flies. it is just to easy to leech with stealth, good ranged dps and all the wilson abilities.

imho mythic should go back to the old archery system and bring abilities like warguard, shield and valewalker styleblock back to the old values against archery.
