What's the best class for a new player? Any classes that are lacking right now overall?

Welcome pal! There are a ton of these threads already, but great starting classes for new players are necro/mage. Can solo practically naked to 51+ and can farm to twink your melee classes later

Welcome. Any class you like playing is the best class for you.

Yes, pick the class you like to play. P1999 is hard mode. It takes a LONG time to get to 60. Pretty much sucks to play a class that's "needed" rather than one you like.

But I must admit a lot of people will play say a Necro to farm some gear for a Warrior they want to really play down the road. Welcome aboard.

Shaman and enchanter are good options too. Both are popular in groups and can solo.

I disagree with the "level a low-gear-dependence class to twink your alt which is actually the class you want to play." And that's after having done it.

I wish I had just spent all that time on the character I actually wanted to play.

Everybody has a different natural playstyle and there's a class to fit it. This guide will help you choose. It rates the classes based on gear-dependence, general ease, etc.

http://wiki.project1999.com/Loraen%2...election_Guide

People diss warriors for being gear-dependent and a weak solo-ability, but they fit my playstyle more than others. I don't find them difficult to solo, just slow to level, and I actually like leveling slowly. I love my warriors. And on P99, it's really easy to twink a warrior cheap without even trying hard.

Yeah but it pretty much sucks having a level 10 Warrior with a Orc Pick and Cloth gear. A Warrior and a Shaman are the 2 most expensive classes on here to gear up. Monk probably next.

Sure. But that isn't a problem from my experience. All of my warriors have had full suits bronze by 11-12th level (well, except my Iksar) that were bought entirely by selling furs/bone chips/spider silk to other players.

That is just your play style my friend. I liked watching my warrior wreck shit when I actually had some plat to spend on him.
