I personally like to play one of the less appreciated/played classes. Seeing as i have yet to find a thread like this, I decided to make one myself. So, on Valkyrie, what class is least played?

Oh, um, wow. That was way more information than i was hoping for. Do you happen to know how often that graph is updated?

[Nyroeon]

Daily, or very close to that.

[Ciphyr]

Thank you. From the looks of it, gunslinger it is

*cough*
perma-novice

I'm not sure perma-novice can be appreciated at all.

play dead is the best skill in the game

[Sera]

Drinking an EDP bottle makes it more effective btw.

[Psion]

Yes, EDP will make Play Dead even let you use Teleport lvl 2 to your save point. Very helpful.

One thing to keep in mind about that graph is that a lot of the damn Rogues are Bots. Also if your a new player Expanded classes are really not the way to go usually. Except maybe a Melee Taekwon Build.

Agreed. With party exp events as frequently as they have been and the availability of item turn ins, mercs, and leeches, I'd say they lost their trophy value. Oh well x)

A long time ago priest were the least played. What happened?

[Sera]

Priests are overpowered to the point where everyone has one whether they like playing it or not.

Priests are overpowered to the point where everyone has one whether they like playing it or not.

Not overpowered per se, but there's no other primary support class, so every party needs to have a priest in order to be effective. That forces the population to be priest heavy, because while "killer" role can be filled by any of half a dozen classes, there's only one class that can fill the role of "primary support". And of course it also by implication makes them the most useful class in the game - because every party will need high priests. Particularly in end-game content, after you fill in the essential roles, you stick "overflow" players onto high priests, because nothing else will help, but you can't go wrong with adding more primary support (well, actually you can if they suck really really bad, like standing where they shouldn't and ).

plz = Priests love zeny

[ganLOL]

whew. priests > rogue.

Why is gunslinger least played class? You would think that a gun class would take the prize of most played, LaTale gunslinger class is most played in the game from what i've seen.

I'm guessing that gunslinger is over nerfed in this game or something?

It's not a real class persay.

It lacks the ability to transcend, has low HP/SP modifiers, and doesn't get any good gear.

I just saw a male linker the other night, which is insanely rare (on Ymir anyways). Should've taken a screenshot.

It is? I'd assume female characters are much rarer.

[hinatasou]

a linker that is not a WoE buff slave??

Yeah, a labs slave.

lack of the ability to transcend YET... everything else is true though

[Sera]

Also Gatling Guns are bad because their selling point of attack speed is easily achieved on many other characters with next to no agility because of all the gear in the game now.
