Coming Back - Suggestions for a class to play

[Cyph]

Hi all,

I doubt anyone remembers my last foray in Project 1999 but it was a while ago now. It tends to happen whenever I have some free time on my hands or have become bored with the latest MMO to hit the market. I think since I last played here I tried Rift (which wasn't bad initially but meh) and lately Guild Wars 2 (where after reaching level 80, there was nothing left in PvE except grind. More importantly for me, there was no social community there, it's like playing a poor mans single player game).

Anyway, back to it; I've played a Bard and an Enchanter on here. Both classes I found enjoyable but since I'm an Aussie, I do tend to find it a bit difficult to get groups at the off peak times. I also want to play something different this time. So, I was thinking a Barbarian Shaman. However, I know nothing about Shamans or their play styles (nor have I ever been to Halas, which makes it even more fresh). So question; is a Shaman the type of class people would like to group with as well as being able to solo? Any advice that you can provide me?

In other news, I saw the latest articles about EQ Next; I'm still hoping it is more of a reimaging of EQ1 than another themepark MMO (just learnt that term). 2014... seems a long way away.


Thanks in advance all and I look forward returning to nostalgia [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
