Most Underused Class?

[JetRaiden]

Id have to say...I have no idea. it seems pretty balanced. never seen a severe shortage of anything.

[Cauldron Borne]

TR: Tanks, MAXs
NC: Snipers, GOOD cloakers (short supply), and Adv Meds
VS: Sum good basic infantry, Adv Meds and sum decent AV grunts

I like t run ANT jobs on occation. It's pretty easy to rack up a few thousand EXP just be refilling back bases/conts in a few hours. The chance to kill stuff it still presant because I usually catch several Spec Ops groups/ Cloakers being sloppy about there work. That adds a few thousand more exp.

Play VS on Emerald and be an AMS driver. We need fucking AMSs. I am already adv med, I have done my unselfish bit.

Need tankie drivers for prowlers. No one seems to want to drive the boring things. I dont blame them, you need three people for a full crew and if you go with just two you are pure air bait. At least magrider drivers get a front firing gun and a great vehicle to mow with. Lets no mention the complete domination in bridge battles.

Oddly enough, I have a character designed from the ground up for these purposes. Don't play him much.

[SandTrout]

Need more ANTs, and unless you're VS, AA MAXes as well. (I definatly see a lot more starfires than bursters or sparrows)

AMS drivers and Adv. Medics are always desired as well.

Before The Ammo patch it was very rare to see any Lancers, Phoenix's, Strikers(After the n3rf) but everything is used pretty evenly

I have recently fallen in love with the striker. I go running around with 50 rounds of that stuff in agile, with one box of amp ammo, a rek, and a amp. I OWN shit with that thing. MAX's, tanks, Reavers, you name it's dead.

Most underused class???

[Seer]

I was mistaken. Actually, since this game isn't really classed based, it is playstyles that are underused.

What you need to be is part of your empire's rapid-reaction defense. It consists of hopping in a mosquito and quelling the normally less than 20 players of other empires that are trying to break your continent lock. Or capping empty enemy towers on your continent.

After you're done, you also have to wait until someone else tries to break into your continent. This type of player is rare, highly necessary, and must normally very versatile, skilled, and above all patient. Most people can do it for a couple rounds, but they start getting bored in the interims and want to go on the offensive. Don't.

Medics are not the most underused but advanced medics are. Even when you are one you ahve to kil the damn people and find where they live and beat them to death in real live just so you can revive them. People are looking for them and complain for them, including me, consitantly. It only takes one guy to refuel and entire continent with an ant. Il will be doing another simpel thread about a med idea. need some replies from people who like the med as a character and actually think about things that help them.

I think its engineers for the NC on emerald. i could assualt a base full of TR kill them all and guard the CC and still no one will repair me no matter how many VVR VNR i shout. i've come down to going "if you like not being shot down by reavers repair the MAXes" or some such.

Driving ANTs can be fun. When I was with 7th Legion, I was designated ANT driver. Anything we did that an ANT was required I was the one they all depended on. I made some pretty crazy runs. One of the funnest times even was when my outfit was in the middle of a zerg fight and our base was at like 20 percent. I was in a galaxy with my ant and it was shot down. i hotdropped and drove into some trees, avoiding reavers and skeeters. I got some people to come help me and arrived with a badly damaged ANT just b4 the base went neutral. You can be a real unspoken, or if ur a CR 5, not so unspoken hero by being an ANT driver. It does take skill contrary to some peoples' beliefs, and it gives good BEP if that's what you are after.

The most underused class is probably Adv. Medics because of the mammoth incentives for a player to release. Medics need new abilities, incentives, and reasons that their patients would want to stick around. There's been numerous suggestions on this topic, like a "wolfenstein" style camera that jumps to the nearest adv medic, and a way to page a nearby medic. I'm hoping we'll see some of the gameflow changes in this area soon, and the new abilities (like stimpacks and regen patches as promised) for Elite Abilities. If we don't, I'm gonna be megapissed.

[Piuslxix]

I would say that the TR (at least on Emerald) need more Adv. Medics and Prowler/Flail drivers. Never seems to be a shortage of SA/HA/CE.
