Class Rating Chart
 

Presenting my latest creation! A Character Rating Chart!
This can help people decide which class to choose, or what their next character will be. It breaks down multiple areas in the game which people might find important. I based the ratings off of general public not off of my opinions so don't complain to me if you are displeased on how your class rates, and its not a "this class is better than this class" chart. Its just how they seem to rate in each area.

Now let me explain the chart a little more..
They are rated 1-4, two or more classes can have the same rating. They aren't based off of 1,2,3,4 like a competition.

Nec- is how in demand they are in parties.
PvP- is player vs. player, like in guild wars. How well the class generally does.
PvE- this is based off of soloing. Speed, damage, etc.

There are many different builds you can do to alter these ratings, so if the class you want or like is lacking in an important area to you, you can simple alter your build ^^

that's a nice and interesting chart!! good work Yosei!

As anothet note.. these rating aren't facts, nor do I think they are. So I hope people don't start assuming I'm under-estimating a class.

-Claps- Another Job well done by Yosei xD

i guess that chart shows the GENERALLY the pros and cons of each class..

(like its obvious mage does great dmg but very poor HP/def)

so its easy for ppl to choose wat kind of class they like to play..

I mean, each class goes through their points in the game where they can dominate over the other classes. So yeah, its general. PvP can be debatable. But usually clerics and mages are the first ones to go down. In my guild wars I've seen, people are like "kill the clerics first, then the mages" for obvious reasons, healing and damage.

yeah the PvP thing is hard... if its a 1v1 PvP Cleric doesnt go down... its only when they're ganged that they die... but pretty much the only class that might not die when they're ganged is fighter.... maybe there's two aspects of PvP... Survival and Kill/Dmg (cant think of a proper word for it)

Personally i would've given Cleric a lower grade for PvE (seeing how slow we kill -.-) and a higher grade for Archers... i cant really see Clerics and Archers being in the same scale for PvE...

but then again.. its just a very broad guide.. and each catagory can be looked at from different aspects... (like PvE might mean how well u can kill a higher level mob, or it could mean how fast u can kill a same level mob... different interpretation will give different gradings)

So all in all, i think that's good enough!!

Nice chart, the only one I disagree with would be the PvE for a Mage. But, that is just because mobs kick my butt if I try to solo them. But, I am in Uruga trying to solo Chickens at 47/48. I did however solo a tree in CP the other day and it felt good.

Soloing for mages is doable, but you have to watch your HP like a hawk and be stocked up.

Yeah, and it helps if I solo in the appropriate map. Right now my quests are Sand Ratmen, and I can pretty much solo anyything in there. With the exception of the Goblin King.
