God damnit, this shits gettin old. It's an opinionated thread about the race/class issue. Take your opinions about eachother and shove them up your asses so that we can have one thread without bullshit.

Delete this thread, You keep arguing w/ me for no reason at all. Repost your question and I won't reply, because there seems to be this innate ability among all di members to flame me or otherwise argue, so beat this thread. RePost with a diff name and shit, I'm not replieng to anymore DI threads, even if they look like intelligent well assembled questions like yours. I don't see how you can argue with someone for asking thier opinion then they state it, And speed we are cool but I have to say f u on this one:finger1: (no offense bro) but thats BS. The fucking d00d asked a question I answered it and got heat........doesn't make sense to me.

Actually, he responded to your posts with nothing more than saying that you were rambling. You attempted to respond to that with saying that he wasn't as smart as you thought. Then the other threads followed. Technically, if you consider him saying that you were rambling a derogitory thing, then yes, he started it, but nobody cares about who started things any more. You both kept going with it. Then he apoligizes, and you respond with your last one. I have no problem with anybody here, and didn't mean my post as anything more than STFU and stop arguing. It doesn't matter who was posting, it could have been Jesus and Moses, they still would have gotten a STFU from me. It's all good, didn't mean to offend anyone, just hate all the arguing going on nowadays.

Races..5-6 huh?
Gnome
Dark-Elf
Nekojin
Elf
Dwarf
Half-Orc
Classes..7-8?
Priest
Warrior
Ranger
Druid
Mage
Ninja
Cleric
Races-
Gnome's kick ass for anything..my personal favorite is a Gnome Druid..they don't have spectacular stats, but I like them, and I only run Gnome Druid's and have had insanely nicely developed Druids with them.
Dark-Elf is nice, the +1 crit, the +3 accuracy..it doesn't sound like a lot, but every little bit helps. They also have stealth and nightvision which make them a superb sneaker.
Nekojin only has 1 downside. Low Health. Yeah, they have tracking, I don't even use them for their tracking. I'm not a major PvPer, so I could care less about tracking.
Elf is my baseline mage/priest class. In my opinion, it is the best Priest class there is, some will argue Dwarf, but I'd pick Elf over Dwarf any day. I've just had much better Priests Elf than anything else, so now I only use Elf.
Dwarf is great for Warriors and Clerics. Enough said.
Half-Orc - Imagine if Half-Orc's had night-vision..DAMN. They've got the best stats hands down for combat, but no +'s:(
Classes-
Priest - What is there to say? Priests increase a parties chance of survival by like..99%..so uh..yeah.
Warrior - Baseline low-exp tank. Warriors make a great compliment to any party, they can take hits as well as deal hits.
Ranger - One of the best solo-able classes, if no the best. Combat-4 sneaker is a nice addition to a party. Again..I'm no big pvper so screw tracking..Rangers would be just as good without it.
Druid - Druids are awesome..you can't have a realm without them, I'd take Druid over Mage anyday, not to say Mages suck, just to say Druid's are better IMO. They can do nice spell damage, have decent armor, heal a little, and they have staves that make physical combat worthwhile sometimes, because mana regen is the worst aspect of the game at the moment.
Mage - Mage's just...tear shit up. They've got a nice wide variety of spells, best roomers in the game, and room spells are undoubtedly 100% needed...fuckin zombies...
Ninja - Ok..+crits is gay? Naw..Ninja's rock. Ninja's can do damage and they can do it fast..they can dodge, but are weak to spells. Ninja's can solo DECENT, and in a party are worth everything in the world.
Cleric - Don't cry that I added this..Cleric's are the best tank's in the game. Ok they don't have a warrior's HP's..they're HP's are nice still if built right and they also have great AC and have priest-2. Combat-3 and Blunt only are the limitations, but once you get level 50+ you're able to have weapons that make Cleric's worth the trouble..they're worth it below 50 but most people don't know how to make them right and they end up sucking. If built right, they're worth it from level 1:)
That's all my reasoning..those are the best I think and this thread asks what WE THINK..so don't flame me for showing my thoughts..I know how to play the game for the game and those are just what I think make the game as interesting as it can be.
Missionary's are....well.....not bad...I guess....only reason I play one on OMC3 is because they're combat 3. I guess if you're lucky enough to get to Darkbane at level 50 a Missionary is very nice, but other than that...nah..trash em..they suck.
Gypsies..don't even ask..gypsies are horrible..combat-2 mage-2..ok..so what are they made for? They're below average on combat, and only have the mana to support but so much spellcasting. They can be OK if made right, they aren't worth as much exp as they're set at. NO WHERE NEAR WORTH THAT MUCH.
:) Thief..whoever said thief..I smack you..I smack you hard..I smack you so hard...your mother feels it..and your daddy..and your baby brother..and your dog..and the roaches in your house..hell even the food in your house felt it while it was alive...
Thieves are the worst possible class in the game, argue me all you want, I'll never say otherwise. They shouldn't even be 80% exp..they're worth half that..

That they do.. They just suck in everything else. ;)

You just like having no hitpoints, huh?
As for thieves and missionaries.. I mentioned them both, but if you recall, I also said only if they get combat 3. :D
That's all my reasoning..those are the best I think and this thread asks what WE THINK..so don't flame me for showing my thoughts..I know how to play the game for the game and those are just what I think make the game as interesting as it can be.
I had no intention of flaming anyone until Plague started to stir shit up.. Thanks for your response. Can't agree with you about clerics, but hey, to each his own. :)

grin..What's better than a tank with good healing? :) Tanks aren't necessarily made to deal damage..they're made to take it..cleric's can just heal it too=P
And nod..I mean, you won't get everyone to agree on all the same classes..gotta weed through it.
You're welcome for the response..I know it's long and probably bored the hell out of people..but ya know..I usually don't say shit less it's a lot of shit or a bullshit topic.. :)

Personally on legit boards I only play either a dwarf warrior or a dark-elf ninja. I won't play anything else unless I'm allowed a dupe then for some reason I make the ninja and a dwarf cleric, but I end up sucking so I quit. Dwarf is the only way to go for a warrior as far as I'm concerned. Warriors are meant to take the brunt of the attack when parties go out, and being dwarf allows them to wear that heavy piece of armour that might give them 1 or 2 more ac than they would have been able to carry had they been any other race. Warriors also rock solo. I learned how to play mud with a dwarf warrior, and moved up the top 10 quickly, then they reset, and I was #1 for a long time until I couldn't play anymore, then when I came back 3 months later, I was STILL #1. Dark-elf ninja, because, well, +crits and +accuracy is great for a ninja, and ninjas are simply more fun than a warrior. Plus my buddy who got me into mud always swore by dark-elf ninjas, so I sorta play em in his memory.
