As I sit in my office attempting to get some work done I feel my ADD kick in and find my mind wandering to what class my newest alt is gonna be and why. Again I'm asking for help and advice. I always find it best to seek the advice of those who are just the top players in their class.

I'd love to see some opinions on who you all feel is best on our server in their class they play and why.

Just to refresh ....here is a list of all the classes:

Bruiser
Shadowknight
Berserker
Guardian
Monk
Paladin
Assassin
Brigand
Dirge
Troubador
Ranger
Swashbuckler
Defiler
Inquisitor
Fury
Warden
Mystic
Templar
Coercer
Necromancer
Wizard
Warlock
Conjuror
Illusionist

emm, i totaly disagree with this topic. I mean, there is no such a thing, as 'best in class' because every class has few or many ways of playing. like... lets take a coercer... you can be best for groups, but not good in raid, you can be great with soloing stuff... best in douing, or other hybrid :-)
i doubt that there is someone who is great in every aspect of his/her class.. At least i have never met anyone who was that great.

I agree with you Karma that there is no "Best in Class" on any type of factual basis. All I am asking for here are opinions ...the "why" is more important than the "who" really ....allowing me to learn the fine points of each class. I'd like to know "who" so I know where to go when I could use some advise and pointers.

Since you won't play with me anymore Karma, you FORCE me to go to Kepec with my coercer questions. Shame on you. My coercer is level 24 already ....I'm gonn catch up to you Karma .

Hoot

Kepec is the most powerful coercer in the known universe, his Sonic Boom will pull mobs from other servers, 'nuff said.

Karmazyn

well, good luck. if you need help with coercer, i advice you to ask revel from bbm Thats a great one. and yeah, you will catch up to me one day... at least with lvl ;)

Illusionist: Crazy/Lazyeye...I miss Pritima though but I could be bias.

Tharinor

Whatever you do, don't ask Stonestrong about Paladins...that guy is terrible! ;)

Tharinor - what the heck - Illusionist - WTF is crazy/lazyeye...some nuub.

Get it right - Former Mindwarped(now Beeglin) and Maybe new Mindwarped(he's pretty good ya know).

As for the rest of the classes I nominate Jaraxx as he can outplay most(not all) on their class - if you don't believe me ask him - he'll own on a pally(just ask stone) haha...

Tharinor

I was yanking Stone's chain, hence the wink. Stone would actually be a very good person to talk to on LDL. If you need help outside LDL, the Paladin forums here are a good place to go as well. It's one of the more friendly and supportive sub-class communities, and several there will answer cross-server tells.
