Just something a little different than the looking for best class to PK with. I think it would be fun and fruitful to experience to fight with classes hard to PK with. Because when you get to more melee based or mage-based class I think it gets easier.
So my vote for hardest class to PK with has to be (other than Healer) could be Psioncists. I know there are many who would dispute this but hopefully it will bring out a good response. |

Invoker. They can't outdamage other classes round by round. They lack the series of maledictives that psionicists get to help them out. Only 1 defense meaning they'll probably take in more damage than they put out. A lot of prep and strategic planning. You'll never see a one-hit ko from invoker... |

Gimped ass ninjas and thieves, specially the ninjas since they dont even get to steal crap.
Once you get to about 50 with a ninja, pk'ing is a bitch when all you can do is hope to land that lucky ass assassinate.
Hopfully with the changes to poisin there will be a little less gimpage. |

hardest: psionicist
runner up: vampire
mention: healer
though without race information, you can't really arbitrarily state what class is easy or hard to pk with (ie gnome warrior vs gnome ill) |

hmm true.
when i think of "class to pk with" i think "mass pk."
i suppose it all goes out the window when you consider the "perfectly planned, carefully laid out, and waiting to entrap your enemy-pk" |

Invokers are like healers in that they have no lagging skills, no blinding skills, and no charmies to make dispel magic instantly fatal. However, they can deal out a large amount of damage quickly. Your opponent, even if generally skilled, can die from one or two mistakes. With a healer, you have to be an excellent tracker to finish any fight. Invokers make it a bit easier. |

Yeah, invokers dealing that occasional *** damage through sanc and prot is always unexpected and often deadly. Healers don't dish out much damage, but they can still outlast anything -- dispel magic is really the only hope of killing a skilled healer.
I'm going with psi as the hardest to pk with, because they don't have the power hits invokers have or the tanking power of a healer. |

I will agree (And circle gets the square!)
Except thieves get dual backstab, and on aggregate, I'd have to say that this is far superior to assassinate.
Regardless, other than the lucky assassinate, ninjas basically blow. |

......... jeez. Ninja's get 6 attacks, dodge, parry, mals, blindness, and afflictive spells and a lag skill. THey get caltrap to gimp opponents and they get hide and invis for when they need to regroup. I don't see why people need to rely on the quick kill when there's so much potency to just drag out and ware out an opponent. Then add in the potential for 150 hp per tick with an additional 100 or so ever 6 ticks... and you're calling them gimped?.. Meh. |
