Least played DoW class

^^Topic
From what i have seen i dont really see alot of PUGs around.

What do you guys think?

id have to go with beastmaster

no one plays beastmaster

You took the word right outta my mouth. I tried it but the game forces me to be in the monster when fighting it, just didn't see right somehow.

MRD. by far.

must be MRD

people played MRD just because they want Defender at R10

I would think LNC seeing as how it can't be used as a tank so it isn't near as good as a PGL or a MRD in the dungeons.

loldrg is no more. Now is the age of lollnc

Funny you mention that, I haven't either! I was past by a Lalafell running across Thanalan followed by two aldgoats and a cactuar though...

Well archers can't tank either.... Why does everyone think lancer should be a tank? They're very good DDs (almost as good as archer, if not better) that inflict alot of very nice status effects on mobs.

I'm gonna have to go with the OP on this one, I form alot of raptor parties and before update 1.18, alot of leve parties... The least played DoW in my parties is by far is pugilist, I see them far less then any other job, marauder being the next least often played after pugilist.

Gotta be Marauder, at least on my server. They get no love.

I say LNC because they are by far the most useless class to use in the dungeons atm. In grind parties, I would say MRD since PGL is hella nice for these.

mrd or lnc, one can't hit or build tp, the other builds tp out the ass but can't take a hit at all and also really can't hit since the class is based around whiffing (feint)

I personally absolutely dislike playing pugilist and marauder alot… They are definitely going to be my last DoW/M jobs to R50. Gladiators make great tanks, archers are great for DDs (especially with their ranged attacks), lancers do a lot of damage and also inflict status effects, conjurer is the healer, and thaumaturge is your nuker. Pugilist and marauder don’t have much uniqueness to them, they don’t pop out, they don’t have as great of a role in battle as the other jobs…

Hard to see any DoW not played... we only have 5 lol

I think PGL is a great evasion tank. There were quite a few times where a dodge has saved our tank from biting the dust lol.

Lancer can be very usefull in dungeons, especially with a couple of their status effects (speed surge II, comrades in arms II, etc), however, marauder and pugilist are probably by far the most useless job in the dungeons atm.

I’d love to play pugilist for DPS and evasion build, personally it would be one of my favorite jobs, but atm they aren’t that great at it, I think SE needs to reform them and make them do more DPS and evasion, then I’ll pick up pugilist in a heartbeat.

i loved pugilist before auto attack, auto attack killed it. So I would now say pugilist is the least played. But possibly Mrd as I dont know anyone who enjoyed it

I have seen a good balance of classes around lately... but In my experience I haven't seen many Marauders or Lancers...

Taking a perfectly valid sample of one (me) I can safely say they are all played exactly the same amount :D. Don't you like my sampling techniques?

Anyway, the census page on Pads do seem to indicate that Marauder is the least used DoW of those signed up. I also looked at Pro, but there are more than 1000 characters have hit 50 for each of the DoW classes so it doesn't help.

MRD. My group uses a LNC on dungeons. Twisting Vice on ogre and does skele duty on batraal.

have you even done the dungeon yet? lol

The correct answer is "whatever isn't ARC or GLA"

MRD and PGL can tank, but a lot of people are too wimpy to handle it. Because PGL is so awesome, Batraal would be all like that guy at the end of Indiana Jones when they opened the ark. It'd scare all the little ARCs and CONs.

LNC can't tank but I'd hardly call them useless. They are very usefull if played correctly in pts.

compared to the other classes, however, they aren't near as versatile. In r45 dungeons, the lnc would have to be the most useless of all the DoW classes.

What a dumb thread that anyone could have told you would only devolve into different melee defending/bashing the other melee.

They are all fine, and they are all played (almost equally at least on Selbina). They are also all capable in the dungeon, btw the ignorance in this thread about some of the classes is astonishing. If you don't think a class has any uses post 1.18 you probably just don't understand how to play it.

Nothing new though, I imagine most decent players avoid threads such as this like the plague. No useful discussion going on here, move along.

Yes I agree in dungeon it wouldn't be a great job to have. Althought I haven't tried it myself only been ARC so far.

So what if people want to discuss classes usefulness? I thought this was a general discussion thread?

Oh I don't care if you want "discuss" "classes usefulness" just commenting on how lacking the discussion is.

The entire thread could be summarized so far as "I suck at X class, therefore no one uses it and it is the least useful". oh and a smattering of "Nuh uh, X class sucks more!"

I see you will all soon get to the bottom of this important discussion, so I'll let you at it!

Well some people may think that but I know that any class in this game can be successful if played right with the correct skills. I'm just saying LNc doesnt look to be great in dungeons but I haven't tried it yet myself so don't take my word on it.
