What class requires the most buttonmashing?

What class is it that requires the most movement and interaction from the player?

EpokSilvermo · 06-12-2007, 07:15 PM

Assuming the class is used to its full potential my answers are:

Any class that takes the role of the main tank in a group.
Predators

I play a healer as my main. Based on my experiences, I would say the healer classes keep you on your toes. Not only are you being proactive by casting buffs, and in some cases debuffs, but you also are attacking and keeping your party alive. Just my two cents SMILEY

Ive only done a few classes, and they all seemed to have about the same amount of button pressing - but I have not done a scout/healer/or PLATE tank, so they may have more. When I MT on my monk, there is definately a lot more to keep up with, and not only is there more "button mashing" but the order that I use my taunts/CAs, become more crucial and really keeps ya on your toes (not great with group agro as an monk, so keeping the attention of multiple mobs is quite tricky sometimes).

The simple answer to your question would be

Assassin you will constantly be jumping around getting in position, debuffing before striking, and Later on running through your concealment.

Brigand a little less than assassin in groups due to reduced need to stun.

Ranger and Swashie are close too. Berzerker is alot fun with alot of button mashing but requires vevry little skill to be decent.

no not preadtor---Assassin........Ranger does most damage via ranged autoattack

Assassins are not predators any more ... check the class selection screen when you create a new toon SMILEY

But yeah, all of the rogues jumping around to get position and restealth require the best reflexes and buttonmashing skills that I've seen. The Assassin wins for buttonmashing in that group hands down.

As a tank, healer or mage I pretty much stay in one spot until the rogue makes a mistake, draws agro then dumps it on the wizard.

I was more wondering about what class used the most skills/spells per normal pve encounter, I.e, my Fury uses... 2-3 and my Swashy uses approx 8. I abhor positional attacks and would prefer a more straight-up approach. Currently leveling a Bruiser to 15 to see if I fancy them more than my swashy. I like the avoidace tankstyle and that most attacks seem to have a noticeable effect instead of being mainly debuff/dotfocused. Hope they get more attacks later on though (only level 9 so...). I worded my post really poorly, my bad SMILEY

Wizards have a lot to do. ;p My main is a warden, it's sorta all about healing in groups but soloing it's more about the Zapping a bunch of things with a AE Ice wind then burning them real fast. XD

I don't have a bruiser, but my main is a monk, and i have more **attacks** then can fit on one hot bar. If you include things I use in battle that don't directly deal damage, but get used in combat, i have more than 2 full hot bars for combat. I would venture to say that the bruiser will have about an equal number since they are both brawlers.
