Hey all!!!!!!!! Im new here and want to play a challenging rare class, a class that no one picks because is screwed or PvP weak or hardly get a place in a group.

I was thinking about picking warden/mage or warlock/priest or maybe scout/priest.
Give some ideas for an interesting gameplay

By the way, is there any player database to really chenck which are classes player choice and check which are rarest classes?

Druid/Rogue, you'll hate yourself for playing it.

No, there is no database. And why would you want to play a class that is not working well?

Priest/Warrior. The Battlemonk has been seriously underappreciated since Chapter 1, and is probably one of the least played class combos these days.

Quoted from "NovaStriker;545414"

oh primary class druid then second rough, druid-rogue seems to rely a lot on DoT skills.
Priest warrior seems very challenging

I want rare class, one that no one plays that is unique. thats howI play mmorpgs.
Im crazy but ive got a lot patient too!!!!

Warrior/Druid. Have fun.

Haven't seen anybody play these classes:
Knight/Mage
Druid/Warden
Rogue/Druid and vice versa
Knight/Rogue

In this game, for the most part, if you're just playing to have fun for yourself, yea, go for it.
If you hope to get to endgame and not be 100% useless... don't go a 'unique' class. I'm not saying you must choose the most OP class combo ever, but if you go d/r, you won't be able to heal endgame content well enough to be wanted in a party, and you won't be able to dps well enough to be wanted either.
Tl;dr - there's a reason a lot of classes are rarely played.

I was an end-game knight/mage tanked with the best back in chapter 3.

Also, P/W is perfectly viable and we have an end-game one on Reni who does just fine. If you truly want combinations that 100% don't work, don't listen to these because these work just fine, obviously the people don't want to take the time to figure them out and roll r/s instead.

Try D/W. If you play it how it is actually supposed to be (not a healer) you will find that your DPS will not easily come close to end-game physical DPS classes, and your heals will be in the drain. Have fun

Rogue/Druid or Warrior/Druid are probably two of the worst class combos in the game, closely followed by Warrior/Priest.

Honestly, you'll kick yourself later for rolling a certain combo just because it's not played. Combinations like these are "unique," alright. They're "unique" in how much they truly suck with gear, compared to every other class. A pure DPS combo that can't DPS isn't much use in any instance, mid or end-game.

If you plan on stopping at level 50 -- sure, go for odd combos, as a combo's strengths and weaknesses don't come into play until you start stacking stats with 55+ gear. If you plan on doing any serious or mid-endgame content, stay far, far away from "unique" combinations.

I've seen K/Ms, D/Wds, P/Ws that are fantastic at what they do, so I wouldn't call any of these combos the least played, albeit certainly rare for good reason. They've all got their problems, though in the case of the P/W it's mostly a gear issue rather than the class build itself, aside from too low of a boost for 1-h damage. D/R is just...a horribly designed combo for so many reasons. It's not the worst in the game, but it certainly lacks in both heals and damage -- the latter being what the combo is supposed to revolve around.

I think the main class combinations people are posting in this thread are combinations that don't do as much dps as rogues so they are instantly called sucky. Well you are also posting combinations that are so friggin easy to stat you should have no issues. W/P, W/D? They are all statted like a traditional warrior, and they suck because they don't get a spammable? Well, SURPRISE, you're playing a warrior. Try w/m, p/w (as mentioned above), and try d/w. Trying to stay your class the opposite of how it was meant to be statted is fun times.

W/M (Magic Spec) You'll learn the meaning of pacc.

D/W (physical spec) Will make you appreciate damage buffs and spamable base attacks.

S/M The King of classes impossible to gear perfectly and be able to use all your skills as intended.

Wd/D (Magic Spec) See W/M, but take away the ability to cast thundersword and lightning's touch.

These 4 combos... If you see more than one of them on your server at a time you are a very lucky person and you should play the lotto

I've seen a few p/w and even a couple w/d and several of the other classes mentioned. I have personally played all of the combos I have listed, and can tell you that they are perfectly playable, but SEVERELY difficult to play well.

My original main toon - do you stat as a Mage or a Scout? I opted for Scout but that means I'm basically playing him as Scout/none.

That's exactly it, sometimes there's no point to the combinations, like the s/m...you can gear it like a scout, or gear it like a mage, but then what's the point of picking up the opposite class? And you can try to gear it both ways but we all know hybrids never work.

idk what some of these fools are tlaking about with r/d and wd/d, play both, in fact I did away with my old r/s and play r/d exclusively now as far as rogue play goes. Am I endgame-smackbossestilltheycry-onlyuseafewkeyskills-dpsking? of course not, and I really could care less. I finally had fun playing a class, and until recently i was a beast in siege especially on those gates lol. I find that about 90% of the people that slam these combos really never took the effort to play them through and really learn how to use it. The rest played it but prefer OP dps or heals to creative playstyle, and honestly if that's the only reason, there's nothing wrong with that. Not everyone has the patience for the oddball classes. Obviously you do, and if you wait it out, listen to those who play them, and use some of your own common sense when building them up, you'll have a blast and maybe even raise a few eyebrows at what you can accomplish. That being said, I think the r/d, wd/d, wd/r, k/m, and w/m (maybe w/d as some people said but haven't had the chance to try it yet) would be your best bets. Also, it is possible to stat sort of hybrid and do ok, but you're gonna have to really hunt down those needed hybrid stats. They're out there, I know because I found a lot of them, but they aren't easily obtained. I wish you luck man! We need more open minded players like you!

I never said that P/W wasn't viable. I said it was under-appreciated and not played by the masses. The OP wanted rare class combinations, and by my definition it meets the requirement. Sure, there are a select few P/W's out there that kick butt and take names, but the rest of the players who attempt to play the class combo will likely fail miserably, give up and move on to something else.

Go Priest/Rogue actually. Few people play it, but the dark fairy gives everyone a 10% Matk buff. All the mages will love you for it

I've played Wd/R and D/R, and while they may not be "viable" at engame, they are fun to play. I rarely see K/M, as well, and I've been having fun with that.

I totally can see where you're coming from, OP. I always enjoy playing classes that people rarely play, even if they aren't viable at endgame (as you can see from my siggy ).

Good luck with your choice!

You also dont have to choose a class combo that is more rare then others. Simply pick a combo and build it differently then everyone else. For instance, k/w built for dps is blast in pvp/pve. Another fun knight combo is k/s. It will really through the other meele guys of and in particular r/s when you start kiting them using scout ranged attacks and the k/s spamable ranged attack. You could try building a r/lock in caster gear and have a cloaked caster. I am sure there are more odd ball builds out there that actualy do work and are a lot fun. K/m i gave up on in chap 3 when i found out the elites were all magical att based and not melee. As Nib posted earlier, the game could use some more players like you. Gl with the class combo you choose but i do have to say stay away from melee d/w for early on it is fun but after lvl 50 it will break your heart with no dps bad heals and getting oneshoted. If you really want to play meele clothy go p/w or p/k(I know kinda odd right but hey it actualy does work just not as dps). I experimented with a lvl 55 p/k and slowest killing machiene ever but nothing could kill it and that includes equal geared r/s and mages (ofcoures it was only 22k hp and 10k phy att and urgent healed for like 3.6k hp). Well that is all the odd ball i can think of tonight...... O wait you could do a melee built p/s and spam shot and vamp arrows lol.......just kidding.

My main is P/W. It's a lot of fun but the biggest trouble I've come across is gearing. 95% of the cloth gear has healing or Mattack base stats. The healing stat isn't to bad as BMS cuts our heals by 30% but I loose out on necessary damage.
