During Beta I have tried Assassin and Warrior. In other games I have leaned toward the rogue types. Haven't played a Mage for years. With release coming up I was wondering what the most valuable type to play for joining groups for dungeons. I haven't had much luck, until recently, doing the group dungeons. As a level 37 warrior I can't solo butkus. When forming a team, which type do you dungeon runners have the most trouble finding? Also, haven't done any PVP yet. Don't even know how it works. Any and all advice will be appreciated. And for those of you who have helped me out in dungeons thank you. I will in the future continue to only use greed unless we agree before hand.
Most valuable type to play

As with every MMO I've played, the two most in-demand classes are healing and tanking, in this case prophet and templar. I really don't see mage (hybrid or pure) as being more in-demand then tank, unless the mage is being used as a substitute healer.
As for DPS, it doesn't make a huge difference. At the 40 cap, they are all pretty capable in a group. If the healer and tank are decent then any DPS will work. Though, of course, a mix of melee and ranged is preferred.

You're correct that the Ranger's main strength lies in single target damage. But I don't know if being more effective when fighting the boss should put it at the end of the list. ![]()
And the ranger AOE, while maybe a small notch below the Mage with Dragon's Breath, is still extremely effective. I've specced into Detonate+Wild Fire (125 + 45 dps), Monsoon (150 dps), and Blazing Arrow + Napalm (125 dps + 75 DOT dps). Add in Eagle Eye raising the dps of the entire group (15% passive armor reduction dot) and the Ranger may actually be better then the mage. True, the ranger must do an occassional single target shot while the above is all on cooldown, but that's not a huge hit.
Next up is Creeping Vines. Crowd Control from a distance. I've used that many times so the healer could get away until the tank regains aggro (especially when the healer's Frostbite is on CD).
Since Envenom and Eagle Eye don't stack, a case could be made against two rangers in a serious group of five.
Meleager, ranger
Tuor, templar (Inactive)
Deimos, mage
Thangbrand, warsin (Mostly on vacation)
Bart, ??? (bene trades)
