Here guys... I'll list what I think makes a class "good" and then you can b***h about it ^_^

Necro: rarely needs healing, knows that his scent line stacks with tash, hasn't solo'd much, thinks being main puller is a normal thing and, of course, talks shit to wizards. also doesn't cast his most expensive dot on a mob at 20% health and fleeing.

Wizard: controls aggro, stuns when needed, snares when the ranger is using Snare instead of Ensnare on long duo / single fights, DOESN'T NEED HEALING (holy f**k i hate you wizards who over aggro), doesn't b***h about loot.

Bard: ooh... tough one. THere are so many different styles of bards. Some are nothing but mana song + melee, which is great if they're weilding 15/20 slashers and have the 30 points into double attack, I guess. I'd have to say total # of songs twisted is irrelevant, but a bard playing Jig during downtime is bad. Sad

counting the # of mobs you can mez while simultaneously twisting 30 other songs and clicking over 540 items in your inventory is about as exciting as listing your favorite numbers. "I like 4, cuz it's the month i was born in. 9 is okay, but kind of snooty. 12 and 13 are good, but my dad doesn't like 13."

Mage: Whittles was the first mage I saw to actually position his pet for backstabbing. 2 years into EQ and hadn't seen 1 mage do that consistently (or even intentionally). little things like that, plus controlling aggro like a wiz.

Ench and Sham: attentiveness. don't blow a load in your pants just because some dip with a 2 minute mez can lock down 2 mobs in between pats on the back. it's not rocket science. shammies are great when they know that necro in lich form might just want a regen, too. in other words, class awareness outside your own.

rogue: can pull aggro if the heals are coming slow (cleric: please stop looting gems long enough to heal, thank you) on the tank.

warrior: pays attention and actually taunts adds.

monk: speaks for itself but i'll say it anyway. doesn't run into camp with 2 or 3 on tail and FD at the clerics feet. little things like that.

sk: doesn't b***h about pallies
pally: doesn't b***h about SKs
ranger: knows that jolt is a spell and not a new helm with +Archery%.

actually.. about hybrids. if they brag about being able to "out taunt the main tank, lol!!" any more i'm going to start shadowstepping them into the lava. jesus god almighty. of /course/ you can out taunt the tank. they're called spells. that's why the f*****g casters need protection. omg die

druid: realizes that with 30 second fights and a 10 (?) minute snare, he doesn't have to cast it before the mob even hits the camp (thus gaining 99% aggro and requiring emergency healing, yay)

beastlord: pulls his f*****g pet off of adds, jesus christ, don't any of you moon-faced, chromosome-lacking chubby buckets of hogshit pay attention to anything? oh.. that and uh i guess casts spiritual purity or whatever.

hope i didn't forget anyone who matters

o ya clerics.

uh...

heals when people are hurt. =-\ does anyone play a cleric as their main any more? if so.. those guys are usually the bomb. what with stunning and rooting and atoning. otherwise the bot clerics just blow.
