Hello all! Also, need advice!
Hi folks,
Nice to meet you! I played EverQuest up until the mid- to late stages of Luclin before quitting. Prior to Luclin, I was an avid EQ player from the start and was a happy servant of the Guide program for a long while. What's there today just isn't the same as what's here, so I'm hoping to make friends and have a lot of fun. Physically disabled and never far from my computer, so I've got the time! Now, on to the part of needing help. Namely, I need help with choosing a class for my main this time around! I know this is really a decision only I can make, but I can list my (very basic) wants and gratefully take opinions. I have two conditions, 1) not a druid, since this was my main the first time around, and 2) a class which is not going to get everyone killed upon the slightest slip-up, as I like to be helpful but do not need quite that level of stress. Glad to be here, and thanks in advance! | ||

Ok, so don't be an enchanter. Cleric slip-up's can also be devastating, but usually you have more time to react as a cleric.
I think you should play a DPS class. If DPS is doing something stupid, usually the consequences are not that bad. Do rogue, magician, maybe necro if you want more complexity. Ranger might be OK as well. | ||

Shaman's are cool for solo and raiding (if you can tolerate buffing) Very useful in raids, some mobs you need to slow but shouldn't cause any trouble doing that. Necro is cool utility and good at solo. Rogues are nice if you like grouping and such.

Yeah the big question is do you want to be able to solo when you can't find a group

Rogue is a great option for group DPS. Their epic is easy to acquire (25k for full MQ), hard to make a big mistake, etc. However, your solo ability will be quite poor. Shaman are always sought-after group mates. Extremely powerful late game...but at a cost. Their spells are very expensive. You can solo as well if you can't find a group. Shaman is THE late-game choice if you feel like you're going to be putting a lot of time into this main character. Mage is a great starter class. You don't need any gear to be effective, welcomed in groups but can also solo, etc. Cleric will be basically group-only unless fighting undead mobs. Always needed in the popular grouping zones, pretty easy epic, etc. SK would be the best option if you're looking to tank...but from your post it sounds like you're steering away from that role. Good luck! | |||

HI all,
Just wanted to thank those who replied for their suggestions! I had started an Enchanter given I like a lot of what they can do, but I don't like that they'll eventually become a 'fail and everyone dies' class. Not up for that. I think it'll be down to Magician or Shaman. I ... don't suppose anyone could help me out a little bit with getting started, maybe, possibly? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If I had to lean one way or the other, I'd probably end up with shaman. Nobody really said much about ranger, though it was one of the first suggestions. Not a good choice? I do wish we had Berserkers in this era. On Live, they work for me. Very straightforward but you don't feel like you're useless. | ||
