Wizards are an easy class to play, you just spam the buttons right??

To dps well and zonewide high takes alot of effort concentration if this constitutes hard then woot, if not who cares !!

Like all classes there are plenty of players in each so the good ones stand out.

I think to be revered in the top eschelon of your class is the best anyone can hope for.

monks and bruisers are easiest imo just slam your head on the keyboard and you can play a monk...
almost no positionals decent dps output some tanking abilities my wife plays a bruiser as her first character because its easiest for her.. healing she has to pay attention to much scout she has to move around too much but with a bruiser she can watch tv click some buttons and do ok.

/agree 100%

hmm im not gonna say illusionist is the toughest class to pay but to fo that leet dps what other class has to sprint arouond in circles keeping there hp under 30% to kick in volatile magic and if your not under that 30% you nopt doing jck for damage and thats what we are now adays.

I think the hardest class to play well is assassin and troubador. Like someone else said, there are assassins who zonewide 1k dps and others who zonewide 2k dps. That class has the biggest range of dps by player, not gear. Gear only matters so much to them since autoattack makes up less of their dps compared to say a brigand.

Brigands are easy as hell to play. Heck I was playing a Warden up until 2 months ago and then had to switch to playing my brigand alt because we needed one. Then people say zonewiding 1500 dps is good for a brigand, what a joke. Hit the same order of buttons every time, or your 2nd series of buttons for aoes. It's super easy.

Wardens can be harder then most think. Especially G1 wardens who do the cure monitoring. It's hard to do all that and then still win the heal parse night after night. Again it's like troubs. The job is easy but playing it really well is hard.

This is entire fucking game is easy, therefore, so are all the classes.

I've played a Dirge, Berserker, Guardian, Illusionist and Swash and didn't find any one of them even remotely difficult.

for me, a good enchanter would be hard to play. group 1 coercer gets my vote - especially if there are mezzes.
my warden can be quite interesting in some situations, so i imagine that it can be tough for all healers.
as for easiest... big tie-up in the dps classes. although, being able to maximize your dps without taking aggro takes an experienced and smart player. so really, every class has its own level and type of difficulty.

Every class I've played has been easy. The first time I played a pally (or any tank), I successfully tanked princes, the first time I played a mystic I was in the MT group for Chel'drak. And don't get me started on troubadors - they're not hard to play at all, just most of them are lazy fucks who just put on AF instead. There is nothing that makes a troub any harder to play well than any other scout.

kyros

ah scafloc... always with the troubadour hate.

... not that it isn't deserved or justified. it makes me laugh. =p

please... if you think that is all a MT healer does then you have either never raided or you dont know what you are doing. I agree that Mystic is an easy class but when im in the MT group i am debuffing, curing, spot healing, and warding the MT as well as anything else that i need to.

I have 5 debuffs besides Umbral Trap which has a 3 minute recast that I use predominantly for namers.
I have to jump out of wards and shit all the time to cure.
I keep wards up on the tank at all times unless he takes heavy dmg (matron) and spot heal anybody i see go low...

if you dont have the capacity to do anything besides press a group ward and a single ward then wtf are you doing in the MT group.

5 easiest:
1. Wizard
2. Conjuror
3. Brigand
4. Dirge
5. Mystic

5 hardest (to play well):
1. Assassin
2. Ranger
3. guardian <- atm to be able to do the same tanking job as a zerker
4. shadowknight
5. coercer
