Narrowing down choices

[Fiyero]

Hi all!

Just started up on this server yesterday. Been playing EQ pretty regularly since 2000. Also play on live servers, but want to try this out.

I know you get this question a lot, but I'm still torn on my "Main". I made an enchanter first for soloing/grouping, but I have a feeling that won't be my main, since their raid use is limited later on (velious).

I've narrowed it down to either cleric or rogue. Cleric has always been my primary main since 2000. Did the whole high end raiding scene. But I also enjoy rogues and it's a nice break from the stress of healing.

They both seem to be in high demand on this server. With a goal of eventually getting my epic and raiding, if you guys had to pick which would you go with? Is one easier to level/get groups with than the other? Is rogue a better choice due to being more flexible/less stressful?

I'm a bit concerned about the whole selling epics though. I see a lot of talk about how everyone has a twink rogue with a Ragebringer and you have to buy your epic to have any shot at it. Is that an overblown issue for these 2 classes?

Thanks for the feedback! I plan on having both characters, but I'd like to lean towards one over the other to focus on.
