Question - Classes for pop?

[Viricg]

With pop launching on phinny in the next few days wondering how certain classes will look in pop? What will be the top dps? Top Tank for groups? How will bards be? Monks?

 

[Fireundrwatr]

I've heard for the longer fights Necro is top DPS, War rules over tanks, Bards are always useful and will get lots of neat tricks, and Monks are....monks xD

Bards get a lot better in PoP
Beastlord dps increases a lot due to AAs and new nukes
Necro DPS takes a jump in GoD due to dot crit AAs, but they are good in PoP
Wizzies are gonna stay good for burst DPS
Monks, Rogues, and Rangers kinda just maintain the status quo
Mages should improve DPS a lot bc there won't be any mitigation of the mighty buffs nerfing their pets
Wars are going to be the best for taking hits for a long time, but Pally or SK will probably be the preferred group tanks due to their snap aggro

For raids Warriors were invaluable, however for group content Paladins and SK's were in much higher demand. Both could get a group out of trouble much better than a Warrior.

Wasnt in pop that ranger got Endless quiver and am3 and were top #1 dps using bows?

 

[disasteroid]

both beastlords and mages will continue to be shit because of the artificial DPS caps imposed by MOTM.

There will be mitigation buffs on some mobs but they stated it will be to a lesser degree than what we see in luclin.
