The new found lack of diversity on AR

[Nero]

In my experience at AR, race/class combos come and go. Two or three classes will be overplayed for a while, then it will change to others that will be played for some time. We're seeing more duergar thieves (for example) now than we did say a year ago. Kind of like the balance shifting between good and evil, classes and races change as time goes on.

I do have one question though, Avians...
Anyone know why they can't be shamans? They can be evil align, can select Necromancer as a class (pure evil class). Allowed to be Healers (though no one EVER makes an avian healer). Just something I thought that seemed a little weird.

[Sebryn]

Shamans are generally seen as communers of disease-type spells (plague, dysentery, etc.). Avians have a natural vulnerability to disease/plague, so it doesn't make much sense that they'd be able to study (and harness) something that could easily kill them.

duh...forget I said anything.

I agree with the fact that AR shifts with time between different races and classes. It has been proven. However, in my opinion, the recent shifts have been from the changes. Changing the concept of shifts in the process. oh well.

So yea, diversity...I know what I said about shifting races/classes, just thought that 'who list' was interesting.

I think that most people are picking human because they simply do not have a bunch of time for ranking and such. Humans rank like hell, have no racial weakness, and have the best pk range to deal with. With a smaller player base on average there is maybe 1-2 players within your group range. Many things have been put into place to help with this, like resistances potions, having a pet as a third, but players are slow to use these things. I run into people all of the time who have absolutely no clue about resistance potions. That being said, make some dam firegiant serkers and use your tools available so that they don't fail.

[E-ant]

There are also some classes that only make sense as human now cause of the gimps n' shit.

[Emo+o]

E-ant,

What do you mean by that? What gimps / shit? Which class/race combo are you referring to?

Mind sharing?

If I made you a noremove earring that makes you vuln to a range of easy to get mental weapons in return for a totally circumventable resistance to physical (limited to pretty much mobs, necros, and noobs).. would you want to be stuck wearing that? Giants are.

Do you want this to be you...
