Rogue or Necro for a "casual EQ explorer" wanting a Unique experience

[Messianic]

If you're absolutely not interested in playing two characters, necro is better. You're never at a loss for something to kill for fast leveling.

However, if you really want to play a rogue, you can embrace and enjoy the difficulties the class brings - even if it's a pain in the butt to find a group.

I know you said you don't want to do both, but maybe you can make a necro first, level it to high levels, and then make your rogue? That way, you could twink your rogue with pretty good gear.

Also, you forgot that rogues get a DE mask from Lguk. So you can experience evil stuff too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you decide to go necro, they aren't as gear dependent, and their gear is cheaper than a rogue's (I think?) Not that a rogue is since he's not tanking? But obviously a rogue will do more damage with better gear. Good luck deciding!

This is literally the best path for you. Necros can solo hill and ice giants with alarming efficiency, and that's some decent income. I always found the IG camp in Everfrost to be almost meditative, but that's because I have a nostalgic softspot for Everfrost in general.

Thanks for the input guys, I am going to go with a Necro.

While I love the idea of coping with the difficulties of a Rogue (part of the classic experience), the ability to play for 20-30 minute bouts and actually accomplish something wins out.


And, am I reading right that Kunark has been released?

If so, Iksar Necromancer here I come!

I love the Iksar lore... now I just have to figure out how to not be KoS in all the cities.


THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!!
