I was thinking of the same thing till i started having enough toys to play with. Then after loosing a fight sometimes you think, "damn, I'd won if I had done this or that". Well, doing that is what skill is about.

I still class that as knowledge rather then skill.

In this case hindsight, and its something you'll know for the next time your in that situration. I guess some might think of it as skill, it just seems like knowledge rather then reactions to me, you don't have to react fast if you know what to do and don't fumble.

You have a valid point if skill = reaction times and fast fingers. I would however put knowledge, co-ordination etc into skill.

Got to agree with Kagato, I spend most of my rvr time out there solo and its very rare you come up against someone without buffs. I'm lucky enough to know a guy with a BB, so I'm usually sorted myself... which is lucky, venturing out there solo without buffs is plain suicide these days.

I'm sure the guy that put the zerker was joking :>

The classes that take the most skill to play in my mind are the classes with the most number of spells / skills on qbars, and who people generally like the way that they play from their realm and other realms. You know - when you have a fight and think - bloody hell I should have won that easily, but that was hard work! That guy/group played well :>

My pac healer had I think 3-4 qbars full of spells that I had to use and tbh it was a major pain in the arse :> The "responsibility" that the group put into you to keep them alive was a hell of a lot, and 1 small mistake = disaster (in OF days anyway).
My sb I really enjoy playing, only need 2 qbars ish, a lot more fun, a bit less skill I suppose to play, saying that though, even after 2 years of playing my sb I'm still learning - so I suppose skill also has to do with how long someone has played their character, and if they learn from their mistakes.

So most skill to play = most qbars = support classes
Least skill to play = least qbars = Lifetap classes, Infs and Zerkers hehe :>

That would be with my bard I guess! (hint: I'm not alb!)

If your bard comes with a bow, has 2 little luris in tow and likes to take potshots at poor, unbuffed armsmen out for a stroll in the woods then yes it would be :)

I use 3 qb with my sorc and 3 qb with my Inf as well as bound keys, which kind of denounces your pov :)

hardest = my inf against an Ml10 SM
easiest = no such thing

Depends on what u can play good. I know ppl who play brilliant as a healer so they wont say its hard playing healer, while on the other hand, i suck at being healer in rvr (i would be prolly the first healer who charged with his 1h hammer to kill mage's.. ) so for me, healer is hard class to play.

No Calo, your're the second ^^

Come's from playing too much skald :)

Well, no one in the whole world ever thought you would be bright enough to understand that joke. Must be quite a relief to be like that, no expectations of you ever performing any intellectual feats. :D

actually i think playing a BD well in grp (yet to see anyone do that) demands the most skill, as you have 2x instainterrupts + pet, + CC/damage.

choosing good targets to interrupt as well as checking wtf your pet is doing, at the same time you're trying to cc/do dmg, and do these things fast, is not an easy task.

least - mercinfil.

Then again why use skill when you can let other people kill your enemies and then stand and /rude emote like a little gay boy loser? :twak:

with shears and buffs (i also use buffs in rvr ya know ;>) qb1 for heals, cure ns and roots, qb2 with spec shears, cure's and other which i can't remember, 3 for base shears, aoe's and resis, 4 for buffs, pet and fop, 5 for items and the rarely used spells :eek: 6-7-8-9-10 (plotted in randomly) for random and qb'd ;)

/edit

Hahahahahaahahahahahahaha... hahahahahahahahaha ok whatever you say.

Hardest to play well would proberly be a pac/mend healer, bard and sorceror. A bonedancer would prolly fit in here aswell as using all the tools given to you(not only lifetap..) and at right time is hard.

Easiest I would say wizard and runemaster, they are both sort of 1-2 trick ponys and what you need to think about when playing is position and picking the right target.
