Thanks for all the great feedback.
Having played a Druid in the Kunark era, I can understand the low grouping/raiding desirability; it's a problem I had on my main (druid at the time) a lot. I ended up soloing up the levels.
I'm not 100% sure that we'll ever get to raiding status as we have pretty busy lives, but I'd like to raid if we do reach that level.
Having thought a great deal about this, I'm currently thinking of rolling a Druid to play mostly in the event that my wife doesn't want to play at a given time, as I get a little more into these things than she does. That would give me something to play when she's not around and eventually provide us a source of income (farming, ports, etc.). My thought is that starting from the ground up, we'll need a way to make money and gear up.
I think I like the idea of tank/Cleric + whatever pickups we can find. My wife wants to "heal and buff" so Cleric would be a pretty good fit. The class I've played most in my EQ history is SK, which is what I'd want to pick as a tank (over Warrior). I haven't really played SK though in classic/Kunark era (mainly POP era), so my knowledge there is weak. I do recall a lot of people saying that SK was a bad choice in the early days.
Thoughts?
