Slayer
With laurel: Now that's dedication right there.
New: Wow, don't see many of these.
Warrior
With laurel: I miss playing mine. I should play it more, look how much work they put into their's... dam.n.
New: So this run is down a dps... Oh well.
Sorcerer
With laurel: Well, damage should be great.
New: Damage might be great... lemme inspect their gear, though.
Ninja
With laurel: /high fives, ninjas are awesome
New: /high fives, ninjas are awesome
Brawler
With laurel: Great, I'm gonna be out dpsed. Again.
New: I bet they pull even before the healer buffs- yep, there they go.
Gunner
With laurel: Well, they obviously like the class... why can't I get into it?
New: At least you made it to 65, better than I managed...
Priest
With laurel: Nice, I'll probably only die a few times.
New: I uh, hope they have the have the correct res glyph.
Mystic

Archer

New: I should've taken my archer on this run too...
Zerk
With laurel: Out of all the dps options we have you stuck with it, that's impressive.
New: First to die.
Reaper
With laurel: They're probably pretty good at it, I bet their dps is at least decent.
New: You have options like ninjas and archers, and this is what you went with?
EDIT NOTE: EME, you seriously have words like d.amn and b.alls filtered? Really? You guys even cuss on your livestream... lol
Lancer. God tier. The evolution of lancer has been painful. Only God tier are fossils in statics. If u see one be happy about it. U might never get him again or anyone close to him. Generally has one or more Lancers.
Average tier. Most can hold aggro, be average a bit under ur last DPS. Forgets buffs sometimes.
SoL tier (sh*t out of luck). Cancer newbie. Avoid at all costs. Only got into party because you need a tank and guess who showed up at the right time.
Brawler. God tier. Same as lancer god tier most of you will never see one. If you do chances are he will never come with you again. Very selective about people he runs with. Generally has one or more brawlers.
Average. Will play good, do decent damage till he notices the DPS are $h*t or priest has terrible ES+TN or mystic is on floor most of the time. Then he will be overcompensating by DPS. No point to position well for DPS that die often or hit the boss like A lancer. If u meet him and most do meet him start to wonder as to why he was forced to DPS.
SoL tier. Total garbage. Avoid at all costs. U know who they are. New ppl or gf uptime at all costs.
Mystic. God tier. Again no god tier in LFG or im. If u do see one make sure to impress and get on his good side. Will save ur [filtered] and solo heal carry hard. U get dispelled like u didn't even see the debuff happen. Will make only ppl that are already good shine.
Average. I'll heal. Lucky if dispel. Might want to avoid really relaying on dispel. Maybe 2-3 motes.
SoL. God not him again. Doesn't put auras. Gets annoyed when asked to buff (endurence) says I'm not priest!!!
Priest. God tier. U might run into a few here and there. Very rarely. U will know when the [filtered] hits the fan u survive it somehow. Will make a [filtered] shine. Including his DPS.
Average tier. Buffs heals ress... And under 90% uptime for debuff. Gets the job done.
SoL. Uff. No comments there. Just bad.
FOTM classes archer sorc and the late ninja who slowly diving into the other category. Toxic level too high. Will DPS through anything and pull out the why did u wipe/never his fault card. If u dont wipe prepare to be harassed by his DPS.
And then there's average guys thinking their OP cuz they outdps some average tier non FOTM classes. Good luck with ur sanity.
All non FOTM classes are either god or SoL with few exceptions.
Warrior god tier will dance around boss pulling insane DPS even when all dead.
SoL tier the rest.
Zerk. Who plays zerk?
God tier. 2 ppl per server maybe.
SoL tier the rest.
Slayer same as zerk. Maybe few more god tiers. And slightly better SoL tier than zerk or war.
Gunner/reaper. Same thing. Few vets left that are godly. Rest are rip SoL.
Conclusion. People are good or bad. Each class has +/- and good ppl playing. Some are easier to be decent/average on.
Lancers: Amazing character, I love their debilitate move. Usually great players, except for the occasional one with badly-rolled slaughter gear.
Brawlers: Good brawlers can be counted on the back of my hand in IMS/LFG. I've had way too many brawlers that die without crystalbinds, or worse they never had an aggro crystal to begin with. If they don't have a crystal, I make sure my emergency aggro crystal is still in my inventory, because that aggro will bounce to me every time Thunder Strike/Vampiric Blow is up.
Priest/Mystic: Thanks for carrying my [filtered]. I love your heals and auras/buffs. I want your children. Mystics are usually better for some strange reason.
...except for that one priest that heals with glyphed Kaias or Regen Circle cuz they don't pay attention to HP bars.
Warriors/Slayers: Can't tell if they're in the party or not. Usually sit in between FOTM and tank on dps meters.
Berserker: Haven't seen too many, I'm usually the only one.
Gunner: Don't notice until they use their flashy skills that cover the boss in blue and orange. Their little robot is cute though! It heals everyone too!
Ninja: On my Priest alt, I heal the stump more than the character.
Archers: If they're anything less than top 2 on the dps chart, they better have full slaughter. Also impossible to heal because they're usually behind you or on the other side of the boss.
Sorcerer: Great damage, doesn't usually die. Usually a good player.
Usually pretty good, and the buffs are really nice. Tend to hold aggro pretty well.
Brawler: 'Well, here we go again.'
Unfortunately the class tends to attract toxic people, spins the boss, doesn't care about the DPS.
Priest: 'I really hope they don't die.'
You get good ones and you get bad ones, it's like a RNG lootbox. They tend to be better (From what I have seen) than mystics.
Mystic: 'Please know how to do your job.'
They are mobile and they have motes which is nice, but many of them try to be priests instead of mystics.
Archer: 'Wonder what his ping is?'
After revamp they were supposed to do more damage, and some do, then you have the ones that auto attack from behind the tank the whole time.
Gunner: 'Oh wow, that's rare.'
They have fallen in DPS potential but those that survive actually seem to be okay. They tend to die because they want to stay a billion miles away where the healer can't reach them though.
Sorcerer: 'I bet they will be next to the boss 80% of this run.'
They got huge buffs and some of them show it, but like archer, they often stand way to the side somewhere and kill their own potential.
Zerk: 'Oh, cool. You going to dodge though?'
They still do decent damage if they can ever get behind the boss, lack of mobility restricts them especially with the influx of terrible brawlers that spin the bosses around.
Warrior: 'Time to see 10 edge under the boss for 2 minutes straight.'
There are more of them now that they will be the new FOTM, unfortunately the new ones are pretty much all bad at it. USE YOUR SCYTHE.
Slayer: 'You are the reason my class has such a bad stigma.'
Reasonably high DPS potential if you do it right, unfortunately every slayer I see spends a lot of time standing completely still behind the boss and dying to easily dodged mechanics.
Ninja: '600 iframes and you can't use any of them.'
You'll see them running out of heals into attacks, they have so much potential to dodge everything yet they take most hits to the face. They like to hit their friends with targeted attacks meant for them.
Reaper: 'You gunna to jump bro?'
Reaper is a good class with pretty good DPS if you forget you have a spacebar, too bad no one uses it right. You will see them spend most of their time in front of the boss jumping.
Archer: "Huh. Don't see that one often."
Berserker: "Heh, awes- okay... what just happened to the bosses health?!"/"[Berserker], get out of I-stance please..."
Brawler: "Erm, miss brawler... you DO know you're a tank class, right?"
Gunner: "Oh great, I won't be able to do any damage this fight... as usual."
Lancer: "What race is this lancer...? Meh/Cool."
Mystic: "Mystic, huh? ...Okay."
Ninja: "Oh [filtered], where did she come from?!"
Reaper: "Goddammit, reaper! YOU HAVE 3 DODGE MOVES! USE THEM!!"
Priest: "Sweet. A priest. I hope they know what they're doing..."
Slayer: "Yay. More slayers. (mental high five)" (note: I main slayer)
Sorcerer: "I wonder if this one'll be like that one time in AB back in the WW patch..." (note: first boss was melted within 2 minutes thanks to the sorcs in the party)
Warrior: "I'm so glad I don't have that Traverse Cut issue anymore..." (note: whenever a warrior did TC, my framerate would fall to single digits for the duration of the attack)
Let's all talk about the toxic players while being toxic ourselves. Makes perfect sense, right? Flame all you want, first time on these forums, and I won't be back to see more negativity about everyone but yourselves.
You see, you experience people being the same way time and time again and it becomes an expectation. People rush through and don't bother to learn their class and role and make the same mistakes as those before them. For every ray of hope, there are 3 people breaking that hope.
As another note, it's not like just because we expect someone to do poorly means that everyone treats them bad, it just means that it's easy to exceed our expectations and make us happy with the party.
Great: G.O.D.D.A.M.N. This guy makes it look so easy
Bad: You have like, 5 iframes and you still died?
Slayer
Great: Kinda rare to see one of you gu- WOWthat'salotofdamage....
Bad: This guy is gonna sit on the floor for like the whole fight....
Berserker
Great: Alright, lets start the fight! *2 min later* WTFaffasdfasdfasd
Bad: You have a block. PLEASE use it.
Lancer
Great: This guy's hp wont go past 80%. Great positioning/doesn't turn boss much and holds aggro 100% of the time. Textbook definition of a badass.
Bad: Does this guy not know what his skills even do? DONT STAND BEHIND YOUR SHIELD THE WHOLE TIME!
Brawler
Great: The deeps is stronk with this one.... and aggro too. Gits ALL the perfect blocks.
Bad: Bruh, You need an aggro crystal....BADLY. Also, can you stop turning the boss please?
Priest
Great: Can make a trash team look good. Never dies, like, EVER. So good they heal/cleanse you the very MILLISECOND you need it.
Bad: OMG PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY HEAL ME. *keeps dpsing the boss*
Mystic
Great: Makes a great team look even greater. ALL THE MOTES.
Bad: Mystic pls turn on auras. *heals once every 2 minutes*
Ninja
Great: *see warrior
Bad: * see warrior
Archer
Great: This guy knows how to maneuver around the battlefield. Always in optimal position to dps even at a distance.
Bad: This class currently has the highest potential dps of all classes, has a simple rotation, and you cant even out dps the tank.......
Sorcerer
Great: Raining down elemental chaos from the heavens!
Bad: *has no rotation* *even spams fireball occasionally*
Gunner
Great: *see slayer
Bad: Why are you so far away from the fight? Your range has limits you know!
Reaper
Great: Spinning ball of death and darkness... Practically untouchable
Bad: STOP AUTO ATTACKING YOU USELESS TRASH
Yea, but the laurel hints at the time spent and concern given to a certain character. Obviously because alts are a thing- people can have a certain level of skill within the game and not have spent a ton of time on a char. However, the laurel being diamond/champ is a very good indication of a person having spent time with that toon which tends to equate to knowledge of the class and time to gear. Plus, getting to diamond/champ normally requires ach points to have been earned in a variety of dungeons and not just open world brain-dead stuff.
But as with anything, its not absolute one way or the other.
- Priest and Lancer in the same party: For some reason, I do more DPS with a Priest in solo-heal runs than I do with a Mystic.
- Warrior Tanks: It's either going to be awesome or terrible. No in-between.
Brawler (65) tbh giant fists are great I just wish they had a better way to carry themselves, also the class is perfect for attention grabbing in pvp, not my main though.
Gunner (30 then deleted) Idk feels very stationery, beautiful aoe skills, I'll leave gunners off to people who are beasts with it
Berzerk (8 then deleted) never was a fan of swinging an axe around "GONNA CUT SOME WOOD"
Slayer (65) love the class so much, easy to use in pvp with a couple staggers and kD's. If only it was buffed to bring out its full potential. Its awful with mass pvp which saddens me. I may reroll into lunar tbh.
Archer (40) amazing class with mad aoe skills and amazing support to the team. Very easy to use even before revamp.
Warriors (35) I know for a fact when warrior gets to level 65 they will be hax in pvp with all the stunlocks to [filtered] you up which annoys me. I love the class however very satisfying to play.
Sorcerer (62) tbh I made a sorcerer for their mad aoe skills knowing they will dominate leader board in pvp but decide meh what's the use. I made my sorc look like a witch so it seems like she's gonna cast a spell on everybody, love the class. Its a little too much with all the barriors and traps.
Ninja (34 then deleted) Idk I just never was a fan of this class, wasn't my cup of tea.
Reaper (65) love my reaper gearing her up right now to become op with my infinite combos without space bar, however there's a lot of reapers in this game that it doesn't feel so unique so hm....
Mystic (65) love mystics perfect for pve and struggles a bit for mass pvp however a raid with only mystics equals instant victory with all the heal totems and crit auras oooomgggg.
Priest (50) great so far and a lot harder than mystic, having to constantly rebuff people and my heals aren't as powerful yet.
Lancers I never really played because it didn't seem to fit my taste
i don't see mystics as "nice." i see them as MYSTAKES, not knowing when to use teleport jaunt and dying. also lancers are the best!
