What's most chill class for an alt?

[oldschoolguy]

Playing enchanter is very high stress, every charm break is a near death experience. So thinking of an alt that is just easy, chill class to play. Doesn't require micro managing a million things, research spells, or need to swap spells mid fight, but can also solo decently. Just a class to mindlessly play as alt during slow times.

Is Druid the best option here, seems like a shaman who can port basically? Or should I look at Hybrids more like SK/Ranger?

Thanks all.

Why not rogue? High damage, stealth, low responsibility. Fun to kit it out with cool weapons and gear. Group with people and socialize with autoattack on.

Oh, I see you said solo decently. And that is a no. But maybe you can group sometimes. :)

Wizard. Easily the most productive I’ve been in real life while leveling. Just quad and go afk. Make sure to roll dark elf for hide.

I have to say druid because druids basically just sit around and do nothing when they're a main.

I second rogue tho, its a fun chill class that can be played with a ps2 controller using joy2key.

[Toxigen]

Enc main here too - I found monk very enjoyable. You at least want a fungi, though.

Solo in the highest ZEM dungeons. Flop and afk anytime you like.

[Jimjam]

Agree with monk.

FD is good, but I think there is enough overlap between nec and enc that it might cause frustration. Monk is desirable in groups, has a super effective afk button and can self haste very well, which coupled with it’s good avoidance and capacity to twink mend/mitigation makes it a strong soloer.

Sk is good, and can do some really silly stuff (I’ve known a 39 SK solo CoM temple cos a group wanted to form there but wouldn’t invite him). Sk feels like it has a higher baseline for required activity, which means it can’t be played quite as casually as a monk.

Druid is good if you want to be really casual, doing stuff like making wolf sandwiches and spider candy instead of levelling.

Any other int caster really.

Thanks, but doesn’t monk need to use ID to level later on, chasing whatever at full speed for a while? Or that’s not a needed thing anymore?

[Jimjam]

Nah, just choose targets you can toe to toe. It’s a chill alt - doesn’t matter if you’re just pecking at xp greens and low blues (can go slightly higher with gear). You won’t be clearing rooms of yellows for many levels, even twinked.

Melee: Monk
Spell caster: Necro

Both solo, both can fd for long periods, both can split and solo most exp camps

[Arvan]

if you are rich: monk/pal/sk

if you have no friends/don't want to pay for ports: druid/wizard

if you are antisocial: necro

if you don't care if your class is nothing more than a coth both at 60: magician

Thanks I think I’ll go druid or mage… probably Druid since don’t need jboots and seems like chill class. Don’t know much about mages.

[ScottBerta]

Probably anything with FD. Although monk and pulling for a group sucks. But soloing on monk is cool. If you want to group maybe something like cleric and just healing and buffing.

Monk is my go to "chill class" because of exactly that. You can AFK and do whatever whenEVER you want. Not only that, But iksar monk is a top 3 class on p99. You can DPS and never leave camp, you can continuously pull like a madman, you can tank, you solo better than any other melee.. it's an easy choice.

Rogue is EASIER, but for me, leveling rogue was mind numbingly boring.

Mage = click pet attack, nuke once or twice, repeat

Doesn’t even make sense to have monks pulling anymore. Basically every group I’ve been in doesn’t want the monk to waste time splitting mobs they just want chain pulls non stop and they’ll easily handle CC on multiple adds. So at that point literally any class can pull

[starkind]

I'm pretty sure u could afk level a necromancer with just lifetap and a pet. Every other spell they get is just icing on the cake.

This exactly. Splitting is beyond tedious now and most groups blender through mobs anyways.

[Tunabros]

necro

they are like mages but can FD when you need to afk so that's awesome

[Stroboo]

nerco is not a chill class, lich will kill you often if you try to afk on them, eventually you will forget and you will come back dead.

mage super chill, you have only 1 responsibility in a grp and can solo great for quick solo sessions. monk also super chill but really want a fungi and while pulling on a monk is tedious you will still sometimes still be expected to do it. rogue can't solo very well so not a chill class imo but you only have 1 typical responsibility so not an overly active class.

good druids pull, esp in outside zones, with root and harmony they are great pullers and are poor dps so they fill the puller roll nicely when possible

yeah, i'd rather pull mobs on my enchanter in dungeons vs my monk.

[Sizar]

Wizard if you are grouping. Stand cast 1 nuke, sit down for 5 mins.

You can also quad then sit for 15 mins. Pretty chill (lame)

I agree with monk. Shaman is pretty chill too if you can twink. Slap cof, fungi, hp gear and good 2hander and melee to 40, get jbb at 45 and rot and blast your way to 60.

After 53 the bracer takes forever to chain cast. 45-53 is cheat mode though

[starkind]

Warrior is also super chill if u never try to go past 40 rly and just hunt greens.

[mcoy]

No one said it, so I'll posit Cleric. Once you can rez your whole outlook on death in EQ changes.

[Master Roshi]

"mindlessly play" = mage

[solleks]

imo DRUID

can teleport anywhere , run fast, people pay for ports when u r mostly afk, kite single(or quads) or dot singles almost anywhere whenever you're not afk

[kawing168]

bard/monk is fun to play with
