Coercers are both underplayed and not required for raids. Win win :/

If you want to get on any raid you like... do a Dirge. Seriously wanted on raids and not enough of em about.

I would say Troubs mostly... not becuase they suck but more because they cant solo as well as most classes. And most instance groups are set up for melee dps so dirges would have no problem finding a grp.


and as for the defiler solo-ability... I had no problem leveling mine. Then again .. EVERYtime i logged in I had one "Crazey" zerker blind inviting me and we would go to any DOF or KOS zone and pull everything.

Dirges are far from rare.

Doesn't matter if the class is underplayed if the class isn't wanted. SKs are underplayed but when was the last time you saw a raid looking for one? On my server (LDL), it's dirge and illusionist. Also, you have to take into consideration how many of a class might be taken on a raid - you might only take one troub, but three dirges. So dirge can out number troubs 3 to 1 and probably still be pretty safe.

While this may look true it should be pointed out, most raids take a minimum of 2 Dirges per raid as opposed to 1 of most every other class. I've seen some guilds taking 3 dirges and 1 troub lately. Other classes that get 2 spots in raid = Coercer, Illusionist, Brigs, and Furys from my experience...
