Classes that suck - Page 6

I'd say the wizard slayer class is pretty bad. No potions? That means that once you start a battle it's either win flawlessly or bust. I'm no blade fan but there are a few here who are, so I'll keep that opinion to myself, and I don't like the inquisitor a lot either.
And the statement above is something I'd have to agree with: why do thieves have such a terrible THAC0? Wouldn't an assassin have a better THAC0 than a regular fighter? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Some classes are EASY and straitforward, Others require forethought and creativity. Every kit and class has advantages and disadvantages. Whichever class you play, all of them require taking advantage of the bonuses and gaurding against the penalties. This applies to character groups on the whole too.No class "SUCKS". How you use your characters as a group, and how you play characters with glaring disadvantages are what Make The Game.

Maybe its more challenging to play a bard rather than a mage. Or is the challenge the same only you have to think differently to succeed with a swashbuckler, bard, barbarian, archer, or sorcerer. Ive liked every class I've Ive playyed (14 total). In the long run I will play them all in at least part of the game. In the end I may have some favorite classes. What I enjoy most will be taking any given character or party and playing it well. Using the character()s skills and powers creatively to win, whatever the classes or kits. All of them have weaknesses to exploit, Every class, kit, party, and character.

OK, look you don't get many spells but casting magic missle 6 times is more than enough for me. And beyond that if you KNOW what spells you need then your set, Most people don't realize that the few spells you choose can make or break your sorcy. Frankly, I prefer a Gnome Illusionist to all these barbarians (Which are alright but the speed ((they have speed don't they?)) seperates them from the group quickly and ends up getting them killed).
