There is no such thing as "small target" when we talk WB leads.buerdig wrote: Wed Aug 19, 2026 11:58 amThis^ Perfectly explained. I'd also put in shamans into the mix because of sticky feet and being a small target helps a lot.nocturnalguest wrote: Tue Aug 18, 2026 9:51 pm Best classes to lead warbands are heavy melee AoE ones.
Order - slayer, wl, bw (its aoe bomb spec is melee)
Destro - bomb sorc (semi melee too, like bw), msh, mara, choppa
Why? Most important part for killing in blobs is to reach critical mass of damage on 1 spot. Its plain easier to see and call this spot on those classes.
Leading on other classes (healers or rdps are very bad for making calls for others to reliably follow), including tanks is suboptimal by design and game combat mechanics.
Magus/engi as utility melee specs can do, but your utilities force you to move a bit differently then regular aoe dps. Can work and its better then rdps, healers or tanks, but still suboptimal.
Usualy marked with enemy pretty fast and permanently - those are clickable.
