Thinking about coming back to level another toon - Need twink help to motivate me.

[oldhead]

I'm all over the place waiting for EQ next...
I've got like 5 free to play games going and even tried getting back into Eve online.

Been having cravings of coming back to P99....
If I sell off my monks gear I should have 30-40k plat to twink something.

My thoughts
Class:
- I was thinking a shaman.
- NEVER played one before
- I want to group 100% of the time if possible. Shamans are very group-able and can solo when need.

Race:
- I want Iksar. I crave Iksar shaman cus man I love iksar.
- Ogre are better with stun immunity but I hate fat races (trolls and ogre)
- This race choice between benefit and aesthetics makes me conflicted.. drains my motivation to get started again [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
- Iksar or Ogre? Stun immunity or sweet ass looks and regen?
- I heard the stuns on P99 were bugged and thus makes ogres the must have choice, true?


Next what should I get with 30-40k?
- I will be looking for best bang for the buck.
- Meaning I'd rather not invest an 10k for an item with +2 more wisdom than a 1k item. I looked at the wiki but that is a best in slot guide, not a best budget item for twink.
- I really have zero idea on gear when it comes to shaman as I NEVER played one ever.


Last but not least.... I could just be a cleric but I think shaman might be as if not more group friendly for leveling. Plus while I am a bomb ass C-Heal dropping nukka I do dislike the responsibility of being main healer all the time and very sucky at farming something I want. What do you think?
