Drogba (SK) always impressed me more than anyone else. I like to think I'm a pretty above average player, but grouping with him he just effortlessly carried me through most TDS group content while I just did my best to keep up with him. And when raiding with a smaller force on level 100 content, yes as Maedhros said, literally some of the tank assignments were just "if it's a mob, Drogba tanks it." We're both retired from Cazic server now, but I won't forget the good times! (Jexx btw if you see this post, Drog!) And I'm sure most of these replies will be for non-TLP servers, but the second person that comes to mind is Zipe (cleric) from Phinigel. I was a pretty legit cleric through PoR era on that server, but Zipe was always a step above me. Awesome times!
You play too many classes to win any awards, sorry! But seriously Fin was (and I'm sure still is) always way above the rim in raid performance. Topping the heal parse on his cleric while main tanking the boss on his warrior, and then just when you think he's doing enough to carry the raid, you remember his paladin is there too kiting 20 mobs.
I know your forum handle On Fin He's in this weird separate category of big bad jack of all trades types. I'd assume Brogh is probably like that too, from what I've seen of his alts and forum posts. From at least a DPS perspective, i've seen Fin make 95% of cazics 'top players' look like pretenders with his alt play. Having said that, i think i'd only rate his ranger if going 'pound for pound' serverwide. But like, if he threw his hat in the ring somewhere, where he would be competing against someone i thought was the top, I'd keep an eye on him. But what do I know.
I wish I could see some of the incredible players I've played with matched up in roughly equal environments. I'm a bit spoiled now playing with a large percentage of high skilled players and putting into context is hard across the years, but here's some people that I was genuinely impressed with (for a variety of reasons, game mechanic knowledge, healing, pulling, raid leadership, dps, tanking, etc etc). I'm going to avoid listing anyone I currently raid/group with, which might change the 'value' of the list, but it's my list. Not Grayson Moorhead's list. Also a challenge for me to quantify tanks and healers very well. And one further caveat, I'm only listing one per class because reasons Mage: Enkel Ranger: Kiras Bard: Byan Wizard: Seraphita Berserker: Fatbuk Necromancer: Kunon Enchanter: Renaii Monk: Strykz Warrior: Arckonn Rogue: Tirrasx Beastlord: Eyezing Cleric: Jaszmin Pet: Nipsy Druid: Lenuvasi Shaman: Morrne Shadowknight: Taza Paladin: Ozimandius

The ranger that taught me most about being a ranger was Rwek who played on Bristlebane. He hasn't played for 18 year or so years but in the beginning, he was doing things with this class and character no one even imagined possible. Core ways I approach and react to situations in game are largely based on what I learned watching him. Ruven
I would third tonyy/xykon/whatever he's called tomorrow, at least at pure dps. When he isn't emotes to pad his parse!
