Most overpowered class/ability at its peak?

shhh dont tell them the truth. i dont want my shadow get nerfed :<

^ to late it already has.

not really, only the hybrid builds are getting nerfed. infi build is actually getting a small buff. and quite frankly, only bad shadows run hybrid anyways. if u know how to play infi is by far the superior build.

UO had an awesome one - Archer / Chivalry / Tamer / Meditation / Vet - I actually created the class a few years ago and it was the final character I made before leaving that game.

It could not be stopped 1v1.

Strategy - roll up on your target and dismount them, this is achieved by having a macro set to get off your horse, with your heavy Xbow, and use the dismount special attack.

If you fail dismount, remount, wait 2 seconds and try again.

Summon your rune beetle (you have an insured pet ball) and order it to attack your target - by this point the person is beginning to run away, as going toe to toe with a rune beetle is tough, however, they can sometimes outrun it on foot.

After 10 seconds - you are in hot pursuit, the rune beetle is throwing a couple spells at them, keeping them occupied, by this point, you've switched to a repeater bow which has fireball or magic arrow, allowing you to disrupt.

Remount your nightmare steed as it is time to finish them off, the rune beetle is unable in most cases to use melee on the target as they are running away and likely almost off screen from the beetle. So, you then ride up to your dismounted target, and spam summon on your pet ball - this gives your pet an auto melee attack on them, for roughly one third their health. All this is happening which shooting them with your bow.

If somehow your character is getting attacked? No problem. You have 4/6 casting and the best heal in the game with lots of mana (Chivalry), generally used as a supplemental heal, but Chiv with a high mana reserve is nearly unkillable. Oh, and your bow has an effect on it which allows you to use potions while it is in your hand.

This character wasn't very practical in huge fights, as your pet gets nailed with AOEs, etc. But 1on1 and even 2on1, it was almost unstoppable.

Miss asherons call pvp

None of those hold a candle to Creature Handlers in SWG, when they could have 4 rancors out at a time. Add in Imp CHs and you could have up to 3 AT-ST out wththose 4 rancors, then consider that a Master CH could still master another skill ontopof all that...yeah,dont think anything has been so over the top ridiculous since then.

Right ill throw a few in:

WAR: Bright Wizard, Playing with Fire.

WAR: Sorceror, Hand of Ruin.

WAR: Choppa, Lottsa' Choppin

SWG: Bounty Hunter, Eye Shot

SWG: Commando, Immolation

WoW: Shadow Priest, Mindflay

WoW: Warlock, Deathcoil

WoW: Warrior, Mortal Strike

Rift: Pyromancer, Pyroclasm

Rift: Champion, Titan Strike

im surprised no one has said this yet but TKM/swords/pikes. insane defense stacking and enough offense to take at least two people

jedi as well, i used to tank 5+ people for around 15-20 mins as an mdef until my group could mop them up. i remember hearing "ahh **** its a jedi" almost every day

prot/holy pallies in wrath

Shadow Meld.

Vanilla WoW.

Specifically combined with Hunters or Shadow Priests.
