Rangers are excellent, flexible DPS, so they're always good to have around. BLs are a little less flexible, since their DPS is significantly cut in situations where they can't use their pets, or in ranged fights, but of course BLs also have nice buffs and slows. Of the knights, I'd probably say pallies are in a little higher demand (at least in my experience). They're both great split tanks, but it's always handy to have stuns, group heals and battle rezzes at the ready.

It's all good though, whatever you decide - the raiding game here is always open to new folks. Guild-shopping is very much a buyer's market, too, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. I think every guild encourages people do a couple of trial raids with them, and all the raiding guilds have their unique flavors and styles. Lots of good choices.

There's one thing high end raiding needs, believe it or not! Enchanters! :P

Could not pay me enough to main a chanter :).

I'm currently playing a rogue over on fippy but I don't think I want to do that on al kabor. I'd like a trio where I can solo and I enjoy melee's (hence my choices of main being sk/pally/bst/ranger) so I am just mulling over the options. I very much appreciate all the input as well.

SK BST and cleric for your trio! Relatively easy to trio, no enc DPS so that's a downside, but you get haste, slows, solid heals, rez, solid tanking, and FD pulling.

Two melee's might be tough but it sounds fascinating. How many people are on in general? I hear this server is welcoming to new characters - is this true?

Who are the top guilds? Are they willing to help people backflag?

And from what I am hearing sk and pally are needed - or simply useful for raids always?

I'm leaning toward either bst or sk as my main and will structure my trio around that.

Are pop targets are that is raided or do some guilds still do ntov and/or VT and other luclin targets?

And finally - I know i am all over but are bards needed at all - and also - how much of the nerfing (like pbae dot no longer hitting moving MOBs) has taken place?

Is harm touch a dot or is it the nuke mechanic it used to be?

I know its a lot of questions but I am interested in al kabor like you would not believe.
