Curious...list in order what you think are the most popular/most played classes in Neverwinter. What do you see the most? (list from most popular to least).

CW
GF
GWF
DC
Although it might be a toss up between the GWF and the DC.
Same goes for TR.
Id rank them as:
TR
CW
DC
GWF
GF
TR
CW
GWF / DC
GF
High-level DCs are more abundant than low-level ones, opposite for TR, no real difference for CWs or GWFs, and I just don't see a lot of GFs at all. I'm always one of a dozen TRs in a zone but almost always the only GF on the occasions that I play mine.

- In PVP he is totally weak and won't help your team alot, in contrary the DPS will just go down because of you making it harder for your team to win. And most likely you die very often and you will be the one getting focussed. If you like to be knocked down and kicked around permanently then this could be the class for you
- It is hard to find open parties for dungeons because 1. they only take one DC with them and not 2 CWs (so the need is just one) and 2. they often have expectations of GSs that are way too high for more casual players or those who are new to 60. (ppl want a GS of 11+ or even 12+)
- No one ever watches the healer in this game, neither in PVP nor in PVE. Unlike in other games were everyone protects the healers and tries to keep adds off of them in Neverwinter the healer is on his own most of the time. In other games I was used to tanks or scouts watching the health of the healer. If the tank saw the healer being attacked his first job was taunting mobs off. And scouts tried to kill the stuff that was picking on the healers. Especially in PVP healers I played in other games got a very high attention by the rest of your team
- If teams wipe or some players they often complain about the healing and not that a CW did a crappy job in controlling the adds
- Your choices are very limited when it comes to certain runs. In T2 dungeons you don't even need to play around with the damage or debuff abilities you have because when you swap them you lose you healing abilities and that is what you need in those dungeons. So the fun part is very low running a dungeon and basically are never really able to deal damage or debuff since you need to MAINLY heal. The weaker the rest of the team is the more focus there is for you to just heal
DC got the least attention of the devs. I bet even in official statistics you would see that he is the least actively played class.
On Euro times there are plenty of pugs who don't understand English very well, so I learned to keep it simple:
Mobs on DC = No Heals
Red = Bad, Blue = Good
Red > Blue
TR is more popular than the CW only because TRs are supposedly more OP than a CW.
Then the GWF, because even though nobody likes to bring one along to a dungeon, they're great to solo with and do pvp.
I'm not sure about the DC and GF. But when I look at queue times, the GF has to wait the least. So I'd say GF is the least popular class, even though they're pretty powerful in pvp.
CW
GWF
DC
GF
GFs are are pretty **** powerful in PvP, and I also prefer GFs > GWFs in a dg party, but I really don't see many of them.
This is what I have found also. Just finished leveling my first toon to 60, a GF. Its funny, when I first started just before the GWF nerf I saw tons of them in the BGs. Since the nerf I rarely see them. A lot of 5v5s you see 7 or rarely even 8 of the toons being CW or TR.
TR- always has 1.. Sometimes 2
DC- every party has one
Gf-a few parties run with one
GWF- almost no parties run with one
I am, however, getting the feeling that many players with lvl 60 DCs do not enjoy playing them as much as they used to, with the nerf to the HoF and the bug currently affecting some other powers (they don't crit ... should be fixed this week) - so the numbers for "actively played" characters might be different than the numbers for "existing characters".
I also don't see as many low-level DCs and GWFs as I used to....the popularity might be different for lvl 60s.
1. Tr "everyone loves a one shot'killer"
2. Cw "the most versatile class"
3-4. Dc/Gf "Dc is needed, but Gf's have increased immensely in popularity."
5. gwf
There are allot of Gwf's but I don't think many are really playing them there are ofc a few straglers still clinging onto hope
Maybe doing their daily invocation, maybe some running about, but I see more Gf's and Dc's than Gwf's around these days.
but would love to see some statistics how many are ingame/(pr server), how many are doing pvp domination? how many are running T1 dungeons, and how many are doing T2 dungeons for instance

GF: 10-15 -- usually is the least common result even after changes making them more useful in dungeons
GWF: 10-15 -- holding steady in spite of the "Nerf Weapon Fighter" stigma, still fun to play solo and PvP
DC: 10-15 -- used to around 20 before the nerfs, one of the "trinity" but most people don't like to play clerics
CW: 20-25 -- one of the popular members of the trinity, sometimes get 35+ hits
TR: 25-30 -- most popular DPSer, numbers may inflated because bots are usually TRs, once got 50 hits
I only did this poll once after the Fury of the Feywild launch, so the ratios may have changed since then.
well bugs or not there were just 3,5 at most good pvp gwf per server and thats being very generous.not including tene build coz that one needs no skill.who ever took gwf for pvp now and doesnt want to pay atleast 500 dollars cant pvp at all.coz by the time he makes ad with gwf this game is....
