Monk for many reasons. They're just amazingly fun. Just to look at...I remember being level 20 or so and seeing a level 30 flying kick...I thought that was the coolest thing...And pulling gave an adrenilen rush like no other. Splitting, tagging, i dont think any other class could spend as much solo time in codb solo'in shit as monks do/did. I remember solo'ing my way basically up to 55, (when i left codb) and went to pop. Such fun.
When they became not fun was when i started raiding...People would use the buff sk pet, sk run up fd, sk pet hit any mob, run back with only 1. That's when i found out i wasn't gonna be pulling anymore, splitting, tagging. Ruined the game for me, did they ever fix that bug by the way?
Clerics are cool too, they have a large impact, this is true. But then again, basically every class does, ench mez's, if they dont wipe, monks pull too many mobs you wipe, cler doesn't heal you wipe, wars dont tank you wipe. Everyone plays a vital role, i believe it's just the character you first started. I mean, you start EQ, your first class is the one you will like best i believe, because then you switch to a new char, like him for awhile, but then say "I like my old one better", and the cycle continues.
Anyways, sorry for the rambling, just a bit of my thoughts.
