Best newbie friendly class/race?(casual player)
Ok quick rundown..
I started eq right after kunark came out. I played a monk, then later on played a beastlord. Eq1 was my first mmorpg, i spent from kunark to just after luclin wandering around not knowing what the hell i was doing playing a bazillion alts never reached max lvl ect ect. So now im older,wiser, and better at mmorpgs. Im looking to get back into eq but i need help deciding on my class. So im looking for a class and race thats great for a born again newbie, someone that will play about 3 hoursish roughly a day and about 10 hours on the weekend. I would like to group occasionaly if the oppurtunity presents itself. I really dont think im going to raid unless im brought in as a pug and it fits my play time. So....does anyone have any sugestions of a good class/race that fits that? i greatly appreciate the help. thank you | ||

For a TRUE newbie, I'd say wood elf druid. Halfling xp bonus is nice, but hardly anyone plays in Misty Thicket, and it's a long run to EC. Gfay is a much better newbie garden at this point. Furthermore, Crushbone Belts sell a hell of a lot better than Runneyeye Warbeads.
If you can get a free port and bind, more power to you. And if me saying that there really aren't many on P99 who would do that for you makes them offer to do so simply to gainsay me, then I'm more than happy to type it. | ||

I wouldn't worry too much about what class breakdown is on the server, with time people will gravitate towards what suits their playstyle best. When that happens, it's best to already be playing your preference. Power gamers will have a set of mains by then anyway, no point in trying to keep up. Welcome, and enjoy! | |||

If you go shaman I recommend troll. I had a heck of a time soloing during level 8 until I realized we gets dots at 5 and 9 that stack. Once I got the dots things got a lot better.
Get a weapon that does decent damage, get whatever cheap armor you can find, get your dots, get the slow spell. Cast slow on a yellow, cast disease dot, case poison dot, melee until dead, sit for 2 minutes to regen health and mana super fast, then pull another yellow. Sometimes you need to cast a heal on yourself in close fights, but usually with the regen you won't have a problem. I guess by level 14 mobs might be hitting hard enough that you have to root but so far my leveling speed solo hasn't been much slower than it was with my mage. Even with root I'm sure you can step in to melee a little bit if you want, and you will have SoW at level 9 in case you need to run away. Go troll, it makes the downtime in the earlier levels almost nill. | ||
