well to be fair if you go class by classMystry wrote: ↑Fri Apr 03, 2020 3:38 amBy your own signature you play a sorc, a dok, and a BG.Vayra wrote: ↑Thu Apr 02, 2020 8:40 pm Cities are end-game content. And should reward coordination and preparation. I've both pugged cities, joined 12 mans, and gone in with a premade from some of the better destro guilds. You can always find some group willing to take you, though the very best might be more restrictive on classes and/or gear.
I challenge you to find a single non-**** city warband that will invite you when you're playing a non-meta class.
all tanks are essential in city and have a place on both realms...
healers wp/rp dok/zealot for sure.... Shamans and AM can be great but only the top end players, most do not utilize properly and are light weight / too squishy and so become a liability for the most part as they will get focussed more (less armour/survial)
DPS
Destro side
maybe Magus is only dps you really do not want, it can do alot of fluff damage, against weak teams though that fluff damage will kill them... pet too easy to counter and stationary
Welf/Choppa/Mara/MSH/Sorc are all very viable
Order Side
Maybe engi is main dps you really do not want... similar to magus easy to counter... has some nice utility but can also give out way too much immunities if done bad...
Shadow warriors also, but some good premades used SW...
BW/SL/WL/WH is more viable
so 2 healer classes (which are good in the right hands)
and 3 dps classes... (which can also have some use)
so this "META THIS and META THAT" doesn't really hold weight... its more a skill level and team synergy thing and what you are facing.
Also i did not go into detail about how many of X Y Z you want of each class as some are more in demand than others also for stacking... but I am saying they each have a role if played to a high level, the issue is when they are not they are exposed and it shows so people will tend to avoid these classes unless its someone with a pre built known reputation from sc or orvr...
It shows that classes are pretty well balanced if only a few are IFFY choices to be honest.
