New to P99. New to Green. What class?

[ivybaby]

Hello!

I played EQ classic back in 1999, up until Luclin when I thought it got all too wack. I had a level 58 druid when I quit. I never did any raiding, and was actually most interested in PvP as I played on Rallos Zek. However, I am going to play on green because it seems there are actually people playing on it.

So what class should I roll up is the big question...

Of course the obvious choices are soloing classes, like Necro/Druid/Mage, but I played a druid my entire career in a past life, and Necro/Mage have never interested me (especially Mages, hate them so much for some reason).

Is it like, actually possible to find groups on green If I roll up a non soloable class? Especially if I am completely untwinked and will be rollin with a cloth veil and a rusty axe or whatnot? I'd love to try a shadowknight, a bard, a warrior or a rogue. What are yalls thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance!

Roll whatever class you'd like to play. There's over a thousand people online everyday. Twinked or not you'll find a group starting at level 1 on up. Everyone is leveling.

play a class for fun, not relevance. enjoyment should always be the first factor when deciding on a class. if you aren't sure, play them all !

Tanks are one of the Lesser played classes. Tunabros is wrong hehe.

But yes they're alot of enchanters.

I meant like those are the harder classes to play lol
Tanks have to be somewhat geared especially warriors and enchanters are kinda wack to play if you new =)

Go with bard. it will give you most opportunities in the future for both solo, group and potential raiding, as well as being the least item dependent of those choices. As a side note, bard plays completely unlike any other class. So you will get the fresh new feeling instead of "oh this class is kinda like this other one I played with a few quirks different".

I second this suggestion. Sounds like you're looking for something wildly different than your druid and it doesn't get much more different than a bard. Also, look up swarm-kiting instructional youtube videos. If you can ever find a zone that's unpopulated enough to do it without stepping on other people's toes, you'll be able to bring in exp faster than any other class.

A bard can solo insanely well in outdoor zones, can play various different roles in a group as needed (puller, mana battery, group DPS machine, CC) and with track you're also nicely set up for certain outdoor random spawns. When Kunark comes out you'll be able to do hunter/forager cycle for example.

And all you need are some cheap instruments.

If you go bard, don't do this. It's basically a self power-level and subverts the entire game. I only suggest this if you don't want to actually play EverQuest.

Yup, but to be completely transparent 47-50 is strangely difficult.

I'd greenlight all of those. Warrior is probably the easiest to find a group with, as tanks are in demand and there's no steep exp penalty, which people care about for some reason. Bard and to a lesser extent SK will have much better QoL and some soloability. Rogue can't solo at all, but does get hide/sneak which is pretty fun. Rogue is pretty weak right now in general but will be quite in demand in Kunark.

I'd also like to point out, that you listed 3 melee classes and bard, which is for most intents and purposes a caster. So it will play much much different from the other melees you listed. If you want to truly be a melee, I'd avoid bard.

Another poster also mentioned monk, which wouldn't be a bad melee choice as well.
