So crazy to think that my kids will get to play this too. Thanks to the P99 team.

Now on to the actual purpose of the thread. My kids, and I will be diving in and leveling as a 3-some. In light of this I'm looking for some input. It's been so long, and I was so one sided in my first experience of EQ that I'm mixing it up this time. I'll be playing a Wizard or SK, solely because in my first experience I was a Necro, I always struggled to find a group even after LoY, and some of the group spells Necro's picked up. I may roll up and Ikky Necro too, but I digress. What I'm looking for is a reasonable 3-some that can lvl efficiently. It doesn't have to be the fastest outright or anything like that.

So far the classes I'm thinking are going to be some flavor of Wizard or SK / Probably a Ranger / and a Monk or Shaman or Druid

I know I can dig up some of my old stomping grounds for good camps for this little group, and truly I'm just interested in us having fun.

As a 60 wizard, wizards are great soloers and raiders, but they are not cut out for groups. Rangers are solid with good damage and utility, but not much more than you would with a shaman or druid in the group. An enchanter/bard are a very fun, dynamic and crucial class that breaks the "holy trinity" of modern MMOs, you'll be thankful if someone decides to play one. A lot of jaded powergamers that no longer see the game as anything more than numbers are going to chime in here with "Anything beyond warrior, rogue, monk, cleric, shaman or enchanter is useless," but don't listen to them, play what sounds fun. The only useless class in groups are wizards.

You'll be set with any healer and any melee for the majority of the game, but don't be afraid to try something unconventional and interesting.
