Thanks to the 165 people who took my survey. Here is the data for everyone to crunch. Every class has its own tab at the bottom as well. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G-okZBPAjTLAje5x0s6pgNXlYIGe1HOhpNiHS_NpU7I/edit?usp=sharing Not sure if you need a google account to see this.
If someone confirms if you DO need google account i can upload graphs as pics here. Or If anyone requests it.
Haha pretty interesting to see what other classes think of themselves. Although I do see some troll answers. A couple of Berserkers in particular seem to think very highly of their tanking, pulling and bind wound abilities.
I copied the results (just the numbers) into a new spreadsheet and averaged them so I could compare across the classes.

I enjoyed this, thanks. The healing results are really spot on. I also thought some of the BER responses were funny. It's also interesting that almost all the responses think highly of their playing skill. I suppose forum participation isn't as broad across playstyles, so maybe it's true.
Seems to have some reasonable accuracy, with some outliers from beasts and zerks on tanking/healing and druid/sham on the dps front being quite abit lower then I'd imagine.
Very interesting. Suggestion: Stabilize the column with the classes so it does not roll off the screen at the left when reviewing the information in the columns to the right.
For BST, they might be referring to pet tanking. Throwing in efficient pet heals helps BST pets tank very well, at least one-on-one. They lack AE aggro and other real tank abilities. Now if they are talking about the BST itself, well, we don't tank much better than the nightgown wearing classes.
There are not a lot of wizard-ports that go somewhere the GGH portal can't take you. And everyone have a GGH-anchor-gate-clicky. At best, a wizard can save you 2 zonings. If they want porting to be a useful utility, they should just remove all the current ports spells and allow us to port to ANY outdoor succor-point(that we are flagged for ofc). They could let the spell-cast popup the overworld-map, and simply let us select a destination zone that way.
And all casters can summon stuff for research. I just don't see how they're so far below zerkers...what utility is that again? I mean zerkers are ranked above mages who summon all kinds of things in high demand not to mention COTH. And warrior...more utility than wiz? Not just ports, but evacs don't forget. Idk if people are down playing or up playing their own classes for attention or if people just have that wide a gap in what they consider utility lol
Well, lately, wizard-port destinations have been the least useful destinations for each expansion imo. We often get something close to the GGH-portal. An Empyr port could have been practical in TBL, or a Western Wastes port in CoV. Something that actually saves the group some genuine hassle... An ability that lets us port a group/tlc to our secondary/tertiary bind-spots would be very useful...
I get that, and agree on both counts(Dru same deal) but what utility does a zerker or warrior have that they ranked theselves so high I'm wondering? I mean I was gone a while and maybe I missed something, but I don't think so lol
