Community Prediction: Which class is going to be underplayed?

    Any combination that lacks self-sustain. From what we can see, any offensive primary can grab a sustaining secondary class, removing their need for help/a team basically.

    Guys, check the strawpoll. Its a relatively small difference between each class. As long as the classes are fledged out as they are intended to be, there will be no shortage of either archetype.

    I'm not so sure bards will be the least played - it all depends on how they are implemented.

    EQ2 - the only game that I have played with a proper support class - had bards significantly over-represented on raids. Every raid would want to take 4 bards along while all other classes were usually only represented by two players on the raid.

    If bards in Ashes buff groups rather than raids, you can guarantee that every raid will want 5 bards. If bards buff the raid, every raid will want either one or two.

    I would say it will be either ranger or summoner.

    But the differences are fairly small.

    Oh wow, I did not know cleric was #1

    There are alot of healers in most games but for some reason most of em are "casual" there are very few that pick suppport with the goal in mind of being top ranked. Feels like most play it since its "chill" just press Healthbars and relax.

    Ive played cleric in EQ for years and years, i assure you its not "chill" nor is it just mash heals
    Im hoping the healers in this game are as involved and EQs
