Wiz/Nec/Dru - decisions, decisions...

Former Fennin Ro Wizard torn between what to play on Red...

Advice?

[Doors]

Personally I'd say druid just for the ability to move all over eq with ease.

Necros will eventually get nerfed into the ground if they follow p99's format.

Wizards are baller. Never got into them really. Always found them boring to play, once people have a shit ton of resists its frustrating.

[mitic]

all 3 just shine in outdoor zones

wiz
pros: dd, ports, shadow step
cons: boring

nec
pros: lifetaps, feign, pet, shadow step, mediocre dd
cons: dots (almost everything of their arsenal can be dispelled)

druid
pros: track, sow, ports, heal spells, mediocre dd
cons: dots (see above)

can you take a better picture of your goods please and email it to me

You will be waiting in line behind 2 dozen other nec/wiz/druids for each drop.

Druids are going to suck in classic, they are basically port bitches. I played a druid on vztz and our dots would stack, I am not sure they will do the same here. Also, on a vet of pvp you wont get any dots on them unless either they fuck up, or you learn how to bury dots and watch for certain spells they are casting. Druid is still one of my favorite classes to play, and druid 1v1s are always pretty fun.

Necros are always fun and pretty powerful. shadowstep + pet + lifetap + FD + nice stacking dots that arent easily resisted and not everyone can dispel /cure them initially.

Wizards again get shadowstep, fast nukes, powerful nukes, stuns, runes. If you get a diamond rod it takes it to whole new level. Just keep in mind that using rune means you need to be able to bury it and manage your buffs /junks well during pvp to play a wizard.

Are mages nerfed on 1999 compared to vz/tz ? I wanted to start with Mintik for farming...

[Jokerball]

Is making a cleric fucking pointless unless I have a DPS to protect me the entire time i play? Or do people seem to ignore killing clerics as they may need a rez in the future?

Welcome to Everquest. Some classes are more group-based classes, who can't or shouldn't solo. Killing light blues is not fun.

[vinx]

all clerics will need a guild

once in a guild you need to find yourself (or create) a clique in that guild for best results
but a guild, or at least a few RL friends is necessary to level up

[Kimm Barely]

i did get bored of my wizard... le sigh

[Rust1d?]

Necros are fun, but do not expect many groups. This is a good class for a solo pvp'er. Pet makes it easy to tackle higher level mobs. Bad in dungeons though.

Druids are fun to play and are the most versitile. You will be good solo and groups. Will be desired early on for sow/heals/ports. You can make decent coin just sitting around porting people.

Wizards are fun in the beginning but get boring later on. Good to have in a pvp ganking group though due to high dd's but will lose that once people get resists.

[Zalaerian]

Looking forward to shit stomping all these druids, necros, ect. in group PvP with the melee assist train of rape.

[Zalaerian]

Also, clerics are one of the best 1v1 classes in the game to the asshats saying they NEED a dps.

[Silikten]

wizardddddddd

[Aesop]

yeah cleric's are a bitch, blind, stun, root, nuke, heal. you're not some helpless girl unless ur a helpless girl.

[Gnar]

stupid idea on pvp server

[vinx]

this is true..
but your nukes arent all that great and your melee dps is lol

your survivablity rate is high, your kill count is low

[Bockscar]

Wizards don't really get good until Kunark. Need those draughts and lures.

[Zalaerian]

If your trying to nuke someone down as a cleric aside for a coup de grace, your doing it wrong.

[ScaryBadAssholes]

Would definitely have sexual intercourse with kim barely.

Regardless of her pvp skill.

You can do the Knuckle / Estrang thing.....

Run around with your lvl 50 wizard with full best-in-slot items one-shotting lvl 42s that are at 20% hp and bragging about it!!!!

[ScaryBadAssholes]

Of course to TRULY be like Big Knuckle you'll have to be running both ShowEQ and MacroQuest2 so you can track targets, warp to them, and /zone any time you yourself are about to die.

When someone accuses you of warping or /zoning, simply tell them they must have lagged out.

[pojab]

and you could still be furious about this 2 years later

Im gonna have to say this also. Side boob isnt that good anymore as an adult who has access to porn.

Druid > Necro > Wizard

Pvp specific stuff:

Druid has heals, regen, cures, sow. Necro and Wizard have none of this.

vs

Stuff Wizard or Necro get druid doesnt get: Pet, Shadowstep, Lifetap, sheildskin.

Imo just the fact that the druid can run away and heal or cure a dot or sow themselves makes them the superior pvp class.

Druid also has ports, dots, dd, invis, hp buffs, resist buffs, snare. Shared with either a necro or wizard.

Druid > then necro because the ability to heal with lifetaps and dot/run/pet > Wizard with some fast strong nukes but lacking in other places.

Kunark changes things to make wizards much better with lures/draughts which is king for pvp when resists show up.

[Bockscar]

Honestly draughts did more for PvP than lures did. It takes a lot of resists to get to the point where a wizard must use lures, it probably doesn't happen until Velious or if you're grouped with a bard. Draughts finally allow wizards to do decent damage without 7-second cast times. A 700ish nuke at 3 sec vs. a 1100ish at 7 sec, there's no contest regarding what's more usable in PvP. Lures don't become necessary for the longest time. Sunstrike is usable in PvP just because it's such an enormous nuke, but you don't wanna try to cast such a slow spell in most situations.

[vinx]

Pvp specific stuff:

Druid has heals, regen, cures, sow. Necro and Wizard have none of this
necro has:
heals : taps/leach for self and compacts/empathy for others
cures: necro has cure disease
sow: jboots

but your right, Kimm needs to roll an elf!

[Pudge]

i would roll druid. ports, buffs, heals, thorns, sow, cheetah, nukes, dots, root/snare.. you got it all.

necros definitely better at farming and probably better in pvp, but not by much. on red99 pets wont zone (although i think they should..), and everyone who is prepared will be carrying around poison/disease cure potions. although it's not always possible to stop and try to cure, depending on how many casts of the potion it will take

[Pudge]

and ew wizard? ....... okay
