Most difficult, least played and the most needed class?

[Demoriel]

Magus is the least satisfying class to play in the game right now hands down. Not very good burst damage, low armor, has to be next to pet to get damage buff so difficult to kite with, easy to kill in close combat, doesn't have the long range of other RDPS either.

Fun to play? yes just don't expect to much at this stage.

White lions are probably the worst class in the game now. Pet does little damage. Sorcs blow you in in three seconds and no one will guard you because you are worthless. Try one... I dare you.

I wouldn't say any of the classes are particularly hard, just varying degrees of broken.

Most needed would either be tanks/heals, the least played/worst of those being Blackguard and Shaman. For DPS the Squid Herder and magus are pretty awful and only to be played be sadists.

Pet does little damage.

I disagree with you on that much. Though I guess if you're running Threaten as your normal buff it would hit less.

Spoiler:

All of this is from Destro side since I haven't played on Order since Live Servers.


1.The class(classes) with the most difficult mechanics ?
A: BGs and Magi are by far the hardest classes to play. Magi is next to useless if not specced to perfection (good balance between survivability and damage) while BGs have a booty-load of abilities that are hard to fire off due to the melee distance bug. Also the payoff isn't that good for either class because other classes do things better (or are more useful)
2.The least played class in the game?
A: Again, BGs and Magi for good reason... some of which I already mentioned above.
3.The most needed class in the both fractions ?
A: I'll only include Destro for this. Shamans by far... healing spec that is. There are not nearly enough of them around which is sad because the class is actually really really fun... but can be really hard to get good gear for.
4.The overall "misfit" class in the game?
A: Magi as the class is just really really badly underpowered compared to ALL classes. People always bring up SM/BO but at least they have some use for groups or WBs while Magi don't do enough damage, are really stationary, and are squishy on top of that. Really needs a buff badly more than any class and should be worked on before any classes are.

I can literally copy and paste it. But I should add my two cents, shouldn't I? Again, it is Destruction point of a view.

1. Playing Blackguard is somehow bittersweet and love-to-hate bussiness. You can actually do quite a damage ... but it usually means you're spamming AoE and don't use your amazing utilities. If you use these, you can actually quite improve your party and change tides of the battle, but you tend to be in the worse half of damage list at the end of a scenario (so it can appear you don't contribute much).

2. Magus. I actually think there are less active Magi than Blackguards.

3. Shaman. He is not as good healer as Disciple, but hey, most warbands could use his utility and versatility.

4. Magus and Witch Elf. Especially those blood-seeking suicidal Witches.

Same range as other rdps, when using 100ft skills.
More armor than other light armor classes, due to armor buff.
Every rdps is easy to kill in close combat.
