EQ2 PVE: What is the most OVERPOWERED class?

LFG · 10-09-2006, 05:54 PM

Which class do you feel is the most unfairly advantaged in EQ2 PVE when compared to all other classes?

Please respond based on level capped characters and your most frequent playstyle.

I'm supposed to say brigands but instead I'm gonna say necros.

I personally dont PvP but I have heard the warden has an unfair advantage. Other than that I think its non bard scout classes. Anyway as I said this is just what I heard.

This is the "overpowered PVE" poll. Doing three more now, one for "underpowered PVE" and one each of the same for PVP.

Thanks

im assuming that we are looking at this from a raid standpoint?

I'd say to your most frequent use as a level 70 player.

Brigands, without a shadow of a doubt.

And no, I'm not just some bitter swashbuckler.

Amazing reflexes is arguably the most powerful ability in the game. They can replace nearly all DPS classes with little defect to the raid (if not a gain). They increase the entire DPS of the raid, they make debuffs easier to land, they let healers heal/cure their groups less and focus more on other tasks.

Pretty obvious choice, IMO.

Yeah it's Brig...

Sony was doing so well avoiding the "holy trinity" classes thing from EQ1, and they DID avoid it in T5...but nowadays, you can get BY without most classes in any but the hardest raids, but you're not killing anything tougher than a friggin Monolith or Vraksakin/Pantrilla without at least one Brigand.

I'd have to agree here with Brigand, AR is damn awesome and wizards should get it as well :smiley-tongue:

Was a tough choice for me between Brigand and Zerker but I ended up going with Zerker. The ability to tank on par with guardians and the ability to put out pretty good DPS when not tanking with decent DPS buffs for the group (will be even better when the str cap is raised).
