Hello fellow Alla followers :)

well, as some might know, there is an EQ Wikibook out there (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EverQuest). With more and more EQ sites disappearing for good, I think it can serve (together with e.g. Alla, Lucy and EQTraders) as a reference for new and old players.

What I did today was to add a section to the various classes, what they are mostly wanted for (in groups/raids). This might not be complete, so if anyone has the time to add/amend, please do so (as I am sure I forgot a few things, because I don't know everything...).

the following link brings you to the class section http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/EverQuest/Character_classes

Wait a second! We're useful for MUCH more than just tanking!!! There is the comic relief aspect - such as:

Forgetting to switch out our Overthere gate proccing hammer before attacking a mob...

Or how about when we stand there spamming Taunt and wondering why we are having trouble keeping agro, only to find out that we forgot to hit the autoattack button...

And let's not forget "When Tanks Try to Pull"(tm) ... that's always a laugh a minute... /g Incoming 1 ... /g um.. maybe 2 .... /g Yeah, you guys might want to zone

And the always memorable "Heh, sorry about the wipe guys, I hit auto attack and ran for a quick bio... didn't think it was time for the respawn yet =/"

The scenarios above are listed for entertainment purposes only and are not neccesarily reflective of any events which may or many not have actually occured in game. If asked to clarify or confirm the veracity of any of the above scenarios, I will be forced to disavow any knowledge of this post. Thank you.

@Kriegs

funny, Warriors are the only class useful for just one thing...(Not saying tanking is easy, mind me...)
