Least Played class & Most overused class

of course after the expansion the influx of new assassins and psychics dominate, but I've heard that Wizards are the least played class. Although from playing it seems that clerics are at a scarcity (or were they always scarce?). Any inputs? thoughts?

    Clerics and Barbs I imagine would seem scarce because they are always needed, therefore always busy with either a squad or off doing their own thing. Wizards I would believe are the least played class, with Archer coming after that, then Cleric, Barb, Blademaster, Venomancer, Assassin, and Psychic. With the exception of the last two, I'd say it basically is based on difficulty level of the class. Wizards, being the most difficult, would have the fewest players, while Venomancers, the easiest, would have many. The other classes are just still so new that people are still trying to figure them out, especially with the new skills that came out. My guess though is that eventually Assassin will fall below either Barbs or Blademasters, as most people will get annoyed at the difficulty of our 2x and early 3x levels. Psychics though will probably take their place right along side Venomancer due to their extreme killing ability. Honestly, I think even Venomancer is more difficult, if such can be said, than the Psychic class, though note I only took my Psychic up to 6x so far.

    psychic does not have (or not have much) AOE skills so they & assassin will be the most difficult to find a squad so people will eventually drop them when they figure out the matter.

    bladmaster will still be the top used thanks to their flexibility of building stats & and choosing weapon. You can play heavy weapon until 90 then clear your stats & find some fun with another weapon.

    Barbs & cleric are useful classes but they won't do much fun in wars (except you are very high skilled) . Besides most people don't see themselves as a supporter. For these reasons you will never see enough Barbs & cleric to answer to all squad calls in game.

    Archer & Wizard are good damage dealer classes, and since they are good AOE so they will be more welcomed in lure party.

    Venomancer is the most earning & easy-to-solo class so it is suitable for most gamers, at least to build up some cash before re-rolling with their prefer class.

    So my list would be:
    Blades = Venomancer
    Archer = Wizard
    Barbs = Cleric
    Assassin
    Psychic

    Venomancer is also very useful in hunting boss due to their debuff & DOT.

    A question, is this the youngest server of the game? I am about to create my first character & I want to play in the youngest server. thank you.

    E Darko jes nasho temu za raspru.

    On Dreamweaver, Wizards were almost exterminated by psychics but they are coming back recently. And the overused? Well, all classes are important but I'd say Assassins or Blademasters.

    I will introduce you to the English language. A paragraph is a group of sentences all in correlation to each other. Each sentence is all about the same thing, what class is played the most and least. Therefore, they altogether are an acceptable paragraph. If you don't think paragraphs can be long, go back to school, you obviously never had to do research for a synthesis essay.

    If you had ever read my other posts, you would see I have a good grip on paragraphs. Maybe you should try thinking, "well, his other posts shows he knows how to use them, maybe he just knows what he is doing" before you go and make yourself look foolish.

    Congratulations. You have just learned ESL 101. Maybe someday, you will move on to ENG 101. b:bye

    On topic: Psychics don't have many AoEs? So 5 at 59 is not enough for you? 3 at 39, two having an 8 second cooldown, the other a 6 second, is not enough for you? Please go play a Psychic, they are more than able to AoE either solo or in a group.

    This is my opinion on the most to least played classes before and after the Tideborn came out.


    Before TideBorn

    1. Venos
    2. Barbs
    3. BM's
    4. Archers
    5. Clerics
    6. Wizzies

    After TideBorn

    1. Sins
    2. BM's
    3. Barbs
    4. Venos
    5. Archers
    6. Psy's
    7. Clerics
    8. Wizzies

    The reason why Clerics and Wizzies are still at the bottom is because I rarely see them unless they are +9x.

    I also seen a lower number of veno's running around lately because the Zeal genies took over their job or they just rerolled to a Sin. And I also haven't seen as many Psy's as I thought they will be after the expiation.

    But this is just my opinion I'm not sure if this is 100% true. Tbh

    Clrerics are rare because they hate pickup squads.

    I sit and watch hundreds of request go by for a BH/TT/FC cleric and will ignore them.


    Nothing more frustrating for a Cleric, than to join a pick-up squad of randoms that have zurg mentalities causing the sqaud to wipe countless times...

    guess who gets the blame.

    I've been seeing more clerics lately...and yes wizards are the least played. They are really weak starting out and die a lot(so lvling progress is slowed majorly). I'd say that ALMOST everyone in the game has a veno, so they're the most overused class.

    I would say wiz is the least played class. They're gimped early game and so a lot of people who played them, played them because they wanted an elemental/magic DD. With psys now, you have a magic DD that is extreamly EASY to play early game, and also continues to be quite good.

    I've only ever been short of a barb once. Well, okay, not true. I've only been short of only a barb once. If I'm spamming for a barb + cleric for BH (or any other type of party) 99% of the time we'll get a barb before a cleric.

    I tend not to pay attention to other class numbers that much because a DD is a DD. Most of the time it doesn't matter what class they are, as long as they need the quest and are willing to help.

    Nobody (that I noticed) answered your question, but yes, this is the youngest server.

    personally, i find the archer to be the least played class.

    i think i've seen 1. and that's it.

    as a newer player to PWI in general, i can't exactly say that for sure.

    wizards are a close second, but the ones i've seen are super-powerful and really nice.

    venos barbs and sins are the 3 most common in my experience.

    psys BMs and clerics are all roughly close.

    ive also noticed a large number of clerics on our server.

    as for sins there are a good group of about 35 on our server that are actually anything to talk about.

    i would say BM is the most played in my honest opinion, more specifically demon fist BMs.
