Aps,necros,conjurers,druids can screw you on middle ranks. Liches,invokers,bards rock on high.

Well I oppinion all classess are balanced meaning on one or several stages they rock upon others but there is not such thing as
superclass what rocks against all others (except liches -but is it different story).
