And when you're including high or low class gear price (as pros or cons) its already defining good/bad classes. Cheap class gear rather tells you about class being inefficient at battlefield, and vise versa.
Really? Ok, I'll go there.
Playing as Sentry so a "not suitable class" with 300+ ping I had just about the same amount of kills as you playing as Mp with the daggers you like so much. Objectively everyone below me in kills was "bad" (in this run). This could include everyone on that run as if I did have good ping I would have had almost doubled my kills going from how slow ping makes bows etc...
Out of the 2 options here what it is?
Is my skill that much greater than yours I can play a "not suitable class" with 300+ ping and get just about as much kills as you.
or
Classes don't affect gameplay as much as you make out.
What I think matters the most in terms of "maximizing loot and minimizing time" is
In order
- Your attitude (not being afk etc...)
- The map
- Your game sense (understanding when and when not to peek for example)
- The gear your have
- The class you are
Playing for "maximizing loot and minimizing time" is subjective... You have no evidence everyone does this to this extreme. People like myself are will to play classes that have tools or have experiences other you claim to be the only ones we need simply don't offer. My attitude + game sense and I guess gear to some point impacted my kill count or usefulness so much more than the class it self to the point I could play any tr4 and probably got more kills than 1/4 maybe even 1/2 of that team we just had.
I and others would rather play a class we find enjoyable so we can be the most effective in terms of attitude we bring to the run. Not everyone feels my way or your way it's subjective... I like the idea of Sentry but do I think its the most suitable class for what I just did? No. I don't care about being that 100% of "maximizing loot" what matters to me is I enjoyed using my Pride and using my H-bow more than if I just played my Warden with Tempest.
