I think the better question to ask is how come so many MMO players want to only play the best class in the game? When did playing the game to learn a class, and how best to play it for yourself become a bad thing?

My one and only level 80 is a Conji, and I picked that class because I thought maybe it would be a good thing to have a pet to take out mob’s as I harvested, and by the way it worked great.
My Brother also started a Conji at the same time. He was at level 80 a long time befor me. Now when my brother and I group up with othere’s he is always at the top side of the DPS, To where I am always at the bottom of the DPS. The conji right now is not real group friendley, As my brother has told me over and over that the Conji takes time to wined up to crank out the DPS. In raids he hits the top of the (sever wide ACT) DPS. Out DPSing all othere classes. How you ask? He spends hours at finding the right spell progression for the class. To whee I can’t make myself do that.

Beside I play the game to have fun and hang out with friends. I din’t even push for level 80 till I was only like 2 level’s from it and my guild pushed me to hit level 80. Now that I am, I don’t play him all that much, Now I am pushing up another class. I’m having a blast with it (Ranger), But I have been told that the Ranger was a weak assassin. I find that funny as the Ranger is not even in the list with the other scouts in EQ2.

OK so what started all this was Troy asking what the worst class was in EQ2, The worst or best class is what ever toon I am playing, Depending on how the fight is going right then.

Also, I’m curious what you think about the Brawler situation. They seem to be in a spot where players don’t actually want to risk using them in their niche. I don’t know whether that makes their plight more or less dire than the Summoners’.

I’ve never dismissed anyone based on their class. Well, I suppose the only class I ever had a problem with was the Fury as a healer… because they just could never keep me alive
