Thank you. You will get the keyboard warriors and MnM evangelists cursing you- but… its true.

You have decades of character development with EQ and even WoW… yet the classes seem to be… shallow?

EQ SK- lifetap, snare, fear, dot, pet, FD, self lev, self sight infra and ultra, self invis, undead invis, undead dmg, undead lull, self HP tap proc, self mana tap proc, group mana/hp tap dd, AoE DD, quick cast spear-DD, self dmg shield, rune, magic resist, self HP buff, summon corpse, cold resist? And I am sure I am forgetting something…like star debuff…dispel…umm…whew its been awhile

And that is PoP/Luclin?
you are right, SK is even worse.

Seems like the simplest and most fun part to fix to me.
Mind blowing that this is what they landed on for classes, what a shame.

On one hand , for inq for example you are brutalized by melee skills taking up spell slots. Slam, melee thing 1, melee thing 2. Taunt. Charm (their lay on hands). That leaves almost no room for spells.

So in that respect. There is almost no room to add new skills. However, the ones we use...we use because they aent mathematically insane to fit.

I an ideal world inmates would be hotbar only, and all the other spell lin3s wouldn't be turd shows.

How you like it, I figure there has to be a reason no one plays one but they appear to do very well.
The reason it's one of the lowest played is because so many want to relive their EQ glory days and pick the classes they played in EQ. It's not a coincidence that the 3 lowest played classes are classes that didn't exist in EQ.

Vanguard had honestly great class design and it’s sad that this Dev team either never played it or straight up ignored it, not sure why.

I think their original plan was to straight up copy EQ p99 and then when they realized that wasn’t gonna fly they left themselves with too little time to really make great classes and had to scramble to rapidly “deep dive” them all by launch…errr EA
