Default I'm New Here, What Class?

Hello. I joined a few days ago, and haven't made progress because of a busy life. Now it's the weekend. I have hours to invest, but which character to invest in?

Which class will give me the shortest search for groups? I was thinking cleric, but it seems there are well more than enough cleric to support the population. Is this true? What about an enchanter? Are they sought out by groups often enough? I'm looking for a great group character. Grouping is the highlight of this game for me. Any recommendations are appreciated.

Play what you enjoy. asking advice on class is the most certain way to burn out and re-roll, wasting alot of time.

That said: Clerics and tanks are always welcome. There seems to be a lack of clerics at 15-35.
The most popular classes on P99 are the pet classes- nec/mag/enc/sham.
The least popular are rog/rng.

I think tanks are somewhat harder to come by than healers, at least in the lower-level groups I've been in. Either archetype will get you group spots. I recommend a PAL, SHD, or CLR.

There are many clerics at earlier level but if you look at high level clerics, Most guild "ALWAYS" NEEDED "HIGH" on Clerics.

Can't go wrong with clerics, you just got to stick to it. Good luck and welcome.

Play whatever class YOU want to play. You will find groups easy enough during the right times. /cheers!

hit 'create a character', and there'll be a list of suggestions. one of those should do. just avoid beastlord and berzerker, we have plenty of those.

I recall Paladins being kinda gimped. Is that not the case? When I played years ago, I knew a paladin that had 100 of dollars worth of equipment, and he still could not maintain high DPS or tank very well.

Paladins aren't about DPS, they're about tanking. Paladins can tank just fine.

Yes, they are. With snap stun for aggro, and Jeldorin make them pretty effective tanks until mid-Velious when they get better gear upgrades.
