Pretty strong.

As for rolling a class, play something that is good in groups and solo to exp for times you aren't grouped, and a class that isn't gear dependant. The one class that isn't popular is necro because it's a very hard yet rewarding pvp class, and also very easy to exp and farm with regardless of gear. Unfortunately if you are a necro for raids, your only job at raids is to twitch clerics, cast dmf, and go afk. That is just one example of many one classes you can play here, but I thought I could sugget it as it is not a popular one. In the end, especially with the recent population spike along with big group exp bonus, you can play any class and do fine.

As long as you don't get upset with being harassed and killed by twinks on your journey, because it will happen.

For guilds you will have to figure it out on your own and make pals.

Hope you stick around and have fun on the box, hit me up in game if you have any other questions or need some buffs I will usually be on bigshowtime

This is very true, being anything without bind is a much bigger hassle unless you are prepared to deal with corpse runs. In my experience Druid and to a lesser extent Shaman is your best twink defense. SOW lets you juke against their jboots and you can bind yourself in an out of the way, nearby location and gate. Reposition, rebind, etc. You can sometimes get lucky and land a root or a snare. Finally a druid can always teleport away and go solo kite if a twink is really irritating you. They only focus on the hotspot group zones so you can fall back on kiting if you are bored of them. I have a lowbie shaman I am leveling with some friends and am often able to escape twinks, but then I cannot easily get myself (or my friends) to an alternate location to level so we are stuck sitting around waiting for twinks to leave. In those times I wish I was a druid so I could relocate my own party.

Anything without sow and gate/bind will most likely have little chance against a twink. Playing a melee or hybrid, except bard perhaps, without some twink gear or plenty of patience and healthy attitude towards being ganked will get you frustrated.

As some have pointed out, all analysis of pros/cons assuming you don't have a strong preference for a class really drives towards Druid as the best first class. It is really effective and desirable in virtually any situation, group, solo, support, damage, pvp, farming.

You have the most flexibility to keep yourself busy, make money, and plan/gear other characters you may want. If you plan to play with friends very consistently, having one of them be a druid or a wizard + someone with SOW is a solid route too.

It's worth noting that while accurate, asking what is extremely good at endgame doesn't mean you will be unless you actually understand the guild, raid, pvp, and political dynamics of this server necessary to gear up a given "OP as fuck" class. Also keep in mind that there are not dozens of porters sitting around waiting to get you where you want to go or bind you for free. Sometimes you won't even be able to get a port if you are paying fairly well. Making money is not necessarily easy or safe unless you can reliably escape from a cash farm camp to a bank (gater or druid is best). You also have carry weight to consider as a monk.

All of these things make monk a difficult first class to actually make money and gear up - every newbie monk I know is twinked or had to beg in ooc (sometimes for days) to get a wu's trance stick or some other weapon to feel decent. Just things to consider. Many of these vets are going to answer your questions literally without considering the facts of being a new player because they haven't played an untwinked character in over a year.

That's true, you gotta suck a lot of ePenis to get the best loots to be OP, and if you can do it while also denouncing the other guild as being loot whores that makes it all the more comical.

Cleric is probably the most well rounded class to play that is needed in every aspect of the game and has high survivability. The downside would be if you don't enjoy being complete support and want to be the one killing players or if farming alone is a priority for you. If you need to they can solo okay.

Easiest classes to farm high end items solo are necro or enchanter.

As a duo a cleric goes well with both necro/enchanter for a farming duo.

If you want to get the final blow on players for yellow text pick a pure melee or wizard.

Hybrids, shamans, druids, mages - Just pick these classes if you really enjoy playing them. None of these are in high demand for raiding if that is important to you. With that said you can pretty much join any guild no matter what class you are, but just know that you won't be as needed.
