Another class question ...

I read through several pages on these forums to find my answer on my own, but never quite found what I was looking for.

I just want to know what class(es) is/are the least played and why. It looks like cleric, so I'll throw my guess on that one.

If anyone knows more, like some stats on what percent of the game pop. plays each class, that would be cool, too.

I'm thinking of playing cleric because I don't want to spend the little game time I have looking for parties. I don't want to play a veno because I hear that class is quite crowded.

Thanks for the help!

Least played would definately be wizard in my opinion. As the above poster said, clerics are sought after but not necessarily rare - you can just never have enough clerics. Wizard is definately hard and frustrating through the early levels though, so if you're a beginner I would recommend staying away from a wizard.

It was my first class and by level 20 I totally lost hope in it, now I have a few different classes and some experience with the game, I could probably level a wizard.

Barbarians are needed, but not that not popular.
If you want to feel "needed" choose a barbarian, or a cleric.

Barbarians can survive almost anything easily, but cant kill a thing (the tanker builds anyways).
Wizards can kill anything easily, but don't survive much.

These are the two classes that are relatively hard to level for those reasons and so there aren't many playing them (barbs still outnumber wizzies though).

Barbs are in demand (once you're 50+), and the game becomes a tad better once over 70 (you can actually kill stuff b:chuckle).

Wizzies are the best at nuking stuff, and probably the only class that can wipe out a equal level barb, with relative ease, at PvP. They are hard to level until 50+ (almost all mobs are physical until then) and almost never in demand, sadly, until they are 80 or 90+ (thats when they really start to outdo archers and clerics in damage).
