Which class did you enjoy leveling most, untwinked?

[Insaiyan]

And why?



Hi all,

Just another filthy casual here. I'm suffering from the worst alt-itis known to man in a game like this. I just want to see end game but I'm struggling to stick with any character. I'm not sure WHY. Maybe in my old age I'm too jaded with what modern games have done to me making it all too easy. I want to get into a class but I'm not liking ... something .... I don't know what.

I've leveled up quite a few characters to 15+, nothing over 20. I think I'm really turned off that one of the only ways to solo, at least that I'm aware of, is to be super twinked or to root rot or fear / kite mobs. I don't like running away! I don't like casting a root and dot or a fear and just chilling while an enemy dies. Feels weird man.

Would really be interested to hear some stories about the early leveling journey and how some people enjoyed the process and which classes they chose. Maybe I can get re motivated. I like the difficulty of the game and maybe I need to simply change my mindset to enjoy things more.

If anyone has time to share that would be awesome

Enchanters a ton of fun solo with all the fidgeting with charm, and gear hardly matters.

Enchanter , althou I was "twinked" in that I had some CHA gear and a G.ring

But the difference between that and a untwinked ENC won't be huge

Wut? G ring changes the game. Actually, so does CHA for a chanter.

Dark elf = hide. Untwinked, semi-reliable charm break.

Ranger was a big one for me.

I avoided it for the longest time due to its reputation but one day I decided to play one, and I'm glad I did because it was one of the most enjoyable leveling experiences.

I wasn't twinked, only had average gear. But the class wasn't nearly as broken as everyone said it was and at times felt OP (especially pulling with Harmony).

Another class I enjoyed leveling was a Monk. They have a variety of active melee skills spread out so it always feels fresh. They're also powerful with little to no items as well.

I tend to burn out on classes when I reach 50 or so. Some spell casters get unique spells past 50, but with melee it doesn't seem to change much past then.

To be blunt, if you want to solo there's a myriad of better games out there for it.

I disagree, it's just only a few select classes are good at solo in EQ.

I hear ya. It's not that I always want to solo, just a little disheartened when I do struggle with finding groups I'm constantly lost and getting owned haha. Maybe I just haven't found my class yet. There's a lot I haven't tried: ranger, bard, mage, wizard, monk, cleric, warrior, sk or rogue.

I do have arthritis though so a clicky class like bard would kill my hands I'd imagine. Wasn't trying to complain too hard. More looking for inspiration through the looking glass of others.

I honestly don't enjoy root rotting or kiting, though.

Solitaire comes to mind
