What's the most unique Class & Race Combination?Follow

#1 Nov 29 2006 at 8:21 PM Rating: Decent
I know that this is a strange question.. especially since most people would ask what's the "best" class & race combination.

But I want my character to be as different as possible. I understand that it won't completely be unique but what's the rarest/least/strangest (in terms of number of people who play) Class & Race Combination that you have found? What's the most off-the-beaten path combination that you can think of?

I'm not sure if the question would be synonymous as the question "what's the least favorite class/race combination"??
Thank you in advance

Being a Halfling Ranger, I've played on two different servers and only ever seen maybe 2 other halfling rangers. Usually halflings are either Rogues or Druids. I'm always being asked to port someone somewhere.Smiley: banghead

Erudite SK is one of the most rare, for sure. I'll add some other odd ones in the morning... 1AM right now and can't think straight.

Anything Berserker is just rare period.

I haven't seen a froglok warrior, rogue, wizard, or necro either, I wouldn't know that froglok SKs existed if I didn't read patch notes.

A friend of mine made a drakkin Cleric, I forgot his name, I did a /who all drakkin cleric, there was only him on haha. Though I don't know if drakkins should count, they're so new.

As for old world races, I think the ones said in previous posts are true.

I'm thinking gnome paladin has to be rare given that their three primary stats (Sta, Str, Wis) all suck. At least Erudite SKs have INT going for them. And, really, humans of almost any class beside monks seem pretty rare. Not many people seem to pick a human wizard, mage, cleric, etc over the more 'exotic' races.

Still, if there's a class/race combo, you know someone will be able to come in and say they've played it.

I actually made a halfling cleric because I never remembered seeing one on my server, they are always DE, dwarfs and HE. Plus the xp bonus is nice.

I would have to say Dark Elf Cleric (I've only seen one so far), or Vah Shir Bard (haven't seen one yet!).

Too true. I've got a Vah Shir 'Zerker as my main and there are far too few of us.

I used EQlive to do a search of all servers by race/class combos , I can't sort by sex, but the lowest I found so far is drakkin enchanters only 112 pages (20 per page) across all servers. All others had greater. Vah shir berzerkers are 739 pages of 20 each for example.

For one server Maelin Starpyre (vazaelle) there are 16 Drakkin Enchanter greater than level 20, the highest being level 46.

I have a gnome paladin on emarr, and would say that gnome paladins and clerics along with erudin paladin/cleric are the rarest. I have only seen ONE erudin cleric in my 5 years of playing on two servers. They did reach 65 when that was the level cap.
Gnome SK are a lot of fun however. I group with one quite often.

Discount drakkin as a race since not everyone has the expansion.

I like the unusual combinations.

I have an evil gnome cleric. I've seen a few gnome clerics but none evil hehe... (I like pre-shrunk clerics.)

I also have a female gnome shadowknight. Not too many of those. She keeps some grow potions handy.

Not too many Wood Elf warriors or are there? (got one of those too hehe)

I also made a wood-elf bard that worships Veeshan (before TSS) but he is a bazaar mule at the moment.

Edit: Forgot to mention the Evil Frogloks now. Have seen some Froglok necros but not any evil (how could you tell?) frog clerics or frog rogues.

This is my main alt (level 53 now). I created it pre-Luclin just because they did seem to be the most rare class/race combo at that time. Of the old classes/races combos, the gnome pally and halfing rangers were pretty rare too.

Even though they have been around for a while, I see very few high level froglocks of any class.

For some odd reason we have several high level 'zerkers in our guild, but I don't know that I have ever seen one LFG. I will say their DPS and offtanking can be scary good though.

We all know you're the exception rather then the rule though. Smiley: grin

That would be me! The real problem with bards is... there just aren't that many bards period. That and the fact that so many bards spend so much time in illusions. My Vah Shir bard spends at least 90 percent of his time in DE illusion for the vision enhancements.

I withdraw my earlier statement, then. ^_^ And yay for bards; they're a bit underrated in my opinion.

Hmm... how about a dwarf cleric? Anyone have one of those?

got a 75 froggy cleric in my guild. And I have a Half elf Paladin lvl 65. What I never see anymore is Wood elf Warriors.

It seems to change as time passes. With the stats available on gear now, people don't seem to be as picky about having the "best" race for their class anymore though.
From my experience from the FV and MS servers:

Warriors-Wood Elves, gnomes and halflings seem rare.
Paladins-Gnome and Erudite are rare(High Elf used to be years ago).
SK-think gnomes would be the most rare
Ranger-nothing really rare, but you see more WE than the other races
Rogue-Gnome again(I don't ever remember seeing one but Caster's realm says its an option)
Bezerker-think I've seen the least Vah Shir, but I have 1 myself
Shaman-I would say Iksar is the least played Shammy race
Bard-I've seen fewer Human bards than the other choices
Monk-N/A since there are so few choices
Cleric-Gnome, halfling, Erudite all seem pretty rare choices
Druid-Half-Elf is probably the least picked race, followed by Human which is also pretty rare for a druid
Beastlord-Troll, ogre, iksar all fairly rare...I'd don't remember but 1 troll beastlord in all my years of playing.
Now you would think the caster classes would all be pretty similar, but...
Enchanter-I don't remember any Human or Gnome chanters
Mage-I only remember playing with 1 Dark Elf mage
Necro-Probably Froglok, since it was a late addition to the Frog class line-up
Wizard-Froglok

My votes for the most rare race/class combos:DE Mage, Troll Bst, Gnome Rogue, Gnome or Halfling Warrior, Human Bard, Gnome/Halfling/Erudite Cleric

Thiers about 4 troll beastlords on my server. The rathe. 1 is in my guild.

Funny, but being on the Zek server, it seems as if we have more of the rare combo's. I know of at least 6 Erudite clerics that play when I do, which would put them just under the DE clerics( seemingly the most clerics) I have been pked at the lower levels by two different gnome rogues, one of whom was near the top of the pvp leaderboard for quite awhile.
The gnome warrior I have not seen much of, and half elf warriors also. SO maybe those are the two rare combo's on Zek.

I have a Warrior Halfling: Teddie Beardude. It is awesome tanking giants and dragons with my little midget of a marauder hehe.
Benifits: Hide and Sneak. These are amazing. Hide = afk safe from all mobs even undead (that don't see thru invis). Sneak works on everything, and lets me sell everwhere. XP buff is good 2
No downfalls I love my war

I used to see more troll beastlords before they gimped the pet size. I think a lot of the novelty wore off once folks were stuck with a mini-gator.

Gnome tank's, I see very few Gnome Shadowknights. If im not mistaken Gnomes have only been able to be Shadowknights for a couple of years now. In any case due to stats and looks I guess there not a popular tank race.

Most odd imo, froglok necro; though I wish their skelly pet was a frog skelly! =)

Least favorite, anything gnome. While I love gnomes I have tried several, I cannot get used to being an ankle biter. My main is a high elf so that might explain it.

I have both a dwarven cleric and a vah shir bard. I've never seen a female iksar anything, but most rare I would guess shammy.
