What will be your primary class on Green, considering the Classic changes?

[Sinistria]

I am close of playing a wizzi and not an SK.

Can't stand it, i love them so much.
Hard to decide.
I need 2 lives and 48 hour days.

An SK would mean more action...
Wizzi is nice to port and good support for a group.

Damn!

Primordial Ooze: I say I roll a human rogue & you roll an Erudite cleric. We'll rule the world!

Or maybe we'll get slapped around, but it'll be fun either way.

Surprised about the apparent lack of wizards. I realize it's not the best class for grouping or solo, but it's desired in raids, it's not gear-dependent, and having ports in classic is a huge luxury. Why would this class be among the least played?

I have to strongly recommend not going high elf paladin unless you already know what you're in for. With a base strength of fucking 65, it's a nightmare. A set of small bronze armor weighs 64.7. Ghoulbane is 9.5. Mithril 2h is 8.5. You'd need to pour all your points into strength in order to even carry your gear+bags, and you won't be able to loot anything. It's a terrible idea for a first char on a fresh server. I mean borderline unplayable. If you really want Tunare and infravision, go half-elf and save yourself months of agony and regret. High elf paladin is the kind of thing you can do as a twink alt a year down the line.

It's among the least popular on blue too. There's a stigma attached to wizards because of their low sustained dps on blue compared to other classes. I think they'll be in a lot better place on green throughout the timeline, but especially during classic (when nobody has any gear, mobs have low hit points, and there aren't druid alts around to help with ports yet) and early kunark (when wizards get some nice new spells but there still isn't a lot of great weapons floating around). And they'll still be fine during Velious, even if they don't have an easy time getting into regular groups.

I kinda was considering a gnome wizard as my main on green, but they're a too slow-paced for me and I want to be a class that groups KNOW is useful rather than one that you can convince them isn't awful.

High Elf Paladin is fine if you put your bonus points into STR and STA.

^This.

Plus half-elves get a sweet mask of Inny once PoH is released.
Just sayin'

Wizzies are going to kick some more butt on Green during classic, given how the melees will swing their 13/40 weapons at the mobs trying to make them die from laughter.

They will be in a lot better place than they are on blue. But a 50 wizard will still only sustain like 12-15 dps even with clarity and/or bardsong. Melee won't have any trouble doing more than that even with classic weapons, pets (even a chanter animation, I think) will do more than that by themselves, and charms will still be able to do 50+ dps.

They'll be a fine addition to groups if they're judiciously using stuns, roots, and snares, but they're not exactly going to blow anyone away with their damage.
