Least Powerful Class on Toril?
Least Powerful Class on Toril?
I'm just curious how this turns out. It's pretty easy to predict the overall winner (loser), but I'm still curious to see what other classes make the list.

Clerics are the least powerful class?
BUWHAAHAHAHAHAHA
Yeah, they don't have offense, but neither do warriors. Phear full harm.
They're a niche class, but one of the most essential and most important classes around. This by iteslf makes them plenty powerful. You can do any zone without a ranger, many without a rogue, many without an illus, etc. etc. Try without a cleric. Well, okay you can, but it's still much harder AND most zones (worth doing) require a cleric.

On a side note, whoever voted for rogue, and who ever voted for elementalist, you should just self delete.

Well, of course you get different answers for all of those.
The real balance problem is that some classes rate in the top half of both "most powerful solo" and "most useful in a group", while other classes don't.
Well Gurns, I'd have to say that those classes that are essential to a group have alot of 'power' and those that are not essential to groups that have enough personal power/ability to solo a large number of things. Each has power.
Then there are those that are completely unnecessary for a group and who can't solo mobs 10 levels below their own. That can't instantly kill or paralyze mobs. That can't summon minions to tank as they nuke. That aren't needed for heals or damage or rescuing or tanking. Those classes have the least power, imho.

How on earth could a Lich be any less powerful than a Necromancer? If you think Lich is the worst, then you must think that a non-lich necro is better somehow? Otherwise, why would you need to vote for Lich? And why would people Lich? :)

It doesn't really matter, honestly. It's fair to say at this point, that with 50% of the votes, that Rangers are far and away the most commonly perceived "worst" class. Probably both in solo and groups :)
I dunno, fun little poll. Don't think too much about it. I promise I don't plan to follow it up with a 50 page thesis on how to improve anything.
Oh and Yaya, if you think everything seems balanced, just pick a class at random. Always have to have outliers in any survey.

Honestly I'd say the same to you man. Clerics are one of the most fubared classes on this mud. They have 1 useful skill, that they also give to shamans, druids, bards, potions, both avengers, paladins, elementalists, khanjari daggers, musp swords, a hundred other things. They have 0 offense, melee or spellwise. And they can ress people. And as much as we all love them for giving us our exp back, you can hardly qualify that as a class power, as it turns into more of a chore than anything else, much like a druid with moonwell, its more trouble than its worth most of the time. But you saw a cleric solo something once, so they must be fine. Gimme a break dude.

I think, you can almost make a list determining which classes need fixing up, by the number of votes they got.
Anyone that got 0% can fug off and sit in the corner while the rest of the classes get fixed up :P
It's interesting to note, that 75% of the "least powerful" votes went towards melee classes. :P

once? i've seen yssilk solo tons of things that would kick my ass in a heartbeat. wow they dont have a good amount of offense. fullharm only does 300hps of damage. damn nuk it might take u 5 or 6 rounds to do 300hps and they get to heal themselves on top of that. so ur saying a cleric at -100 with an 18 or 20hitroll wielding a smasher with 7 or 800hps couldnt solo better than a warrior? clerics have better offense and defensive capabilities than warriors. i bet you a cleric could solo 90% of the single mobs on this mud faster and more efficiently than you or I could but then again u might have to find a cleric who can play their class well.

Comparing a cleric to a warrior isn't gonna get you anywhere, because they're both messed up. How about you compare them to an elementalist? They can both heal themselves for about 400 hps, although the elementalist has to wait a little longer in between them for the embodiment to fade after you dispel it. The elementalist can blind and silence, just like the cleric. Elementalist can stone himself. Elementalist gets an unlimited supply of pets to tank for him, does exponentially more damage than any cleric. Sure you don't technically need an elementalist for zone groups, but you can do alot more alot faster if your tank is embodied. But you don't really need a cleric either, you can get by with 2 shamans or a shaman and a bard for everything but gatehouse style fights(the same type of fights you're gonna want embody for).
Anyway, if soloing better than a warrior means that your class is fine then nobody needs any upgrades, including rangers. Maybe you should try it without the troll regen sometime and see what its like. Clerics need some lovin too.

Who's bitching about troll regen? I just said try soloing without it.
Anyway, the point is still that clerics are one of the more underpowered classes on the mud. You tried to say they weren't by comparing them to the other underpowered class, so I responded by comparing them to an overpowered class. Got us nowhere. Anyway, if you think clerics are so great then why don't you go play one so I don't have to hear you and the other 3 evils who still log on cry about how they can't do anything cuz there's no clerics on. Then you can laugh when some other troll eats an 800 hps cloud instead of crying because it was you.

75% of the votes are still for the 6 melee classes out of the 16 up there :) Almost 60% for rangers and warriors :)
As for clerics? If you think you can honestly make an argument that clerics are the MOST underpowered class, then vote cleric. Instead of comparing them to warriors, compare them to rangers. If you don't think clerics are worse than rangers, then don't vote for clerics... the poll is for the MOST underpowered class, not "which class do I think needs an upgrade."

Ok, well here's something you should already know. When there's a class that nobody plays, it's either because that class is no fun or because the class is underpowered. I find myself looking for clerics and enchanters alot when I want to do stuff, and that's on the goodie side, where people still log in. Plenty of rogues and elementalists around, no clerics and no enchanters. So underpowered or just no fun to play, something needs to be changed to make people want to be a cleric again.
Nobody wants to play evils anymore, so you're all for upgrading them. But god forbid you give a cleric a damage spell or a little bit of melee damage and make them an actual fun class, because a guy who doesn't even play here used to be able to solo without that stuff. That's great logic. Trolls and ogres used to be able to play fine without drow, duergar and squids, so lets just get rid of all them! There was once an ogre who dual wielded doombringer and avernus, so ogres must be fine!

Just my personal opinion, but as Conan says: Cleric is to offense as Mustang GT is to... Yes! That's right! A Mustang GT with a misinstalled natural gas four cylinder engine :P
Anyone with heal can solo a mob on the edge of a zone, but clerics could use a little help. Hell, with some more offense spells there would be lots of clerics casting offense more and neglecting healing. More tank deaths! Moving (un)holy word to 9th or 10th would be a good move and give the good/evil clerics some kind of benefit over the old neutral clerics.

Power means different things to different people. If by power a person is thinking of raw damage, enchanters are not very powerful. I would consider them a powerful class, myself.
On the topic of defenition of power, that reminds me of an interesting event. When I made Yarash I was looking at the stats (which had no explanation at the time), saw power, and I thought to myself, "Yea, I want to be powerful, I should try to make sure that stat is pretty good." Doh!

I think the issue is more of Yssilk being an uber player. I've seen him solo tons of things that kicked MY ass, and druids are supposedly better soloers than clerics by far. I'm convinced that with players like Lilithelle, Xaril, and Yssilk, the class they play is a simple question of style, and they can accomplish incredible things solo no matter what. If you downgrade the classes they play, that only serves to make things rougher on the other players of that class, not on them.
Therefore, I suggest that we should not include "uber" players in any discussion of how a class in general fares.

I think the issue is more of Yssilk being an uber player. I've seen him solo tons of things that kicked MY ass, and druids are supposedly better soloers than clerics by far. I'm convinced that with players like Lilithelle, Xaril, and Yssilk, the class they play is a simple question of style, and they can accomplish incredible things solo no matter what. If you downgrade the classes they play, that only serves to make things rougher on the other players of that class, not on them.
Therefore, I suggest that we should not include "uber" players in any discussion of how a class in general fares.
As good as Lilithelle is (and she is GOOD) she still couldn't pull it off with a warrior :P

In some cases a cleric can solo mobs as well as a druid. Druids have far better offense but like clerics we have very little in the way of defensive spells except for bark(as clerics just have armor). I find when I solo hard mobs I spend alot of time healing, 91 hp heals don't go a long way when your fighting a mob that does 200-300 hps a round. So clerics can heal up alot faster but do damage slower it probably ends up almost same time-wise. And on caster mobs curse is invaluable in silencing them and thats something druids lack also helps blind them. Can take alot of sunrays to blind high level mobs.
I think Imis was right that clerics having better offense probably isn't a good idea or you'd get even more of them nuking instead of healing but what I think they should have is more defense as theirs is a non-offensive class. I really like Duris's soulshield(or at least how it was long ago). Caused the cleric to take 1/2 damage from physical attacks by mobs of the opposite align attacking them. It gives clerics a nice boost for fighting opposite aligned mobs, presumably enemies of their god that they should be fighting, and gives goodie clerics a reason to play good aligned and be constantly worrying about alignment and unholy word. On Duris you needed +/-900 alignment to soulshield, so it took work to keep (at least if you were good :P)

I agree with Lilithelle. As a cleric who has been one for damn near a decade, yeah you learn your class well and can solo about as well as a druid. Even chlora is solo'able by a cleric, and you don't need Tagad's toy (it's been proven). But fact is, clerics suffer from both ailments Thanuk mentioned. Underpowered and not fun to play. I don't care what you can solo, it can take over an hour most of the time to solo anything worth solo'ing. We're almost as bad as invokers when it comes to being one trick ponies.
We can heal, and that's great. But the addition of some offense OR defense would be a huge plus to the class I think. I don't think it would be bad to downgrade full heal 10 or 15% in order to justify adding the extra oomph to the class.
