Most effective/least effective class in WZ?

[ByteMe]

Ok, I'm thinking of starting a new char and wanted input on the most effective class is in the WZ and why you think that class is better than the others.

Ex: I think warlocks are the most effective since they do massive damage, effective at forts with terrors and other spells, can level non-stop, can heal themselves with soulkeeper, etc.

I'd also like to get ideas of the least effective class in the WZ and why.

Ex: Warlocks are the least effective class because they are extremely slow and die quickly. Once dizzied they are useless, etc.

Let the discussions begin...

The most effective class is the one adapted to the way you like to play

If you were a Knight, I reccommend you to make a Conjurer. I enjoy a lot curing and saving my allies, just as I wanted with the Knight. You level fast and you are useful since low levels.

Regards!

If there's an ineffective class in this game that'd mean there's some serious unbalancing going on. But as far as I'm concerned, effectiveness is mostly up to the player.

P.S. To be safe, start a conju. Surely a useful therefore potentially highly effective class in the wz

I think the usefulness of a conjurer depends a lot of the build, and how they are played. I believe that a full-support conjurer can be extremely effective, especially in a large group. However, a full-support conjurer is helpless when alone.

A full warjurer (powerful zarkit, maxed mental, etc) will be far less effective in a group, but can be moderately effective alone or in a small group. I believe a full warjurer to be the least useful class in a group.

These are both the extremes, 100% support or 100% offensive. A conjurer can be built with aspects of both, but then would only be moderately good in either a large group or alone.

Unfortunately it seems that distribution of XP has changed, and it is now difficult for a conjurer to level in a group. This makes me sad, encouraging conjurers to be warjurers while leveling, then switching to support at level 50. I used to level in groups of 3 to 7, and raked in XP if I did nothing but heal/buff/mana for teammates. This made me happy, as I earned good XP, and it made my friends happy because they could remove their armor and save tons in repair costs. Also this is how I made many of my Regnum friends. Now support conjuring usually give very little if any XP.

A few days ago I had 5% necro, and it took about 15 minutes to get rid of it, supporting two level 50's. My warlock can get rid of 5% necro in 1 or 2 minutes alone.

Overall, i would say Barbarians. Exceptional (area) speed, good team buffs, massive killing power, and as of this latest update, much better defense than before. Just look at the top 3 in RP...no one kills as many enemies as barbarians. It's not even close.

Yes, I've noticed barbs seem harder to kill - maybe their defenses were raised or they had to adapt due to changes in their spells...

Byteme - I'll always let you test-drive Compoundious (but be warned...he's targeted alot )

[trulyem]

Just like what Valorious said, Barbs are nice...hopefully the next update should help =]

[NightTwix]

its a bit hard to make a overall statement. but is would say that conjurers are most effective and knights least effective.

[Abazigal]

The barbarian the best?
Yes it hits for a lot of damage and its great for hunting but in wars it's the most vulnerable of all classes; you must be at the front and be ready to receive all damage.
For me the best is the marksman, it's like the barbarian... but with range

The ranking doesn't show which class is the best !, why don't you see the other two servers's rankings? Full of range players but no melee :S
