Bard is out of question for me. My slow, old fingers can't do 'octopus' moves [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

But Ranger sounds interesting. i see how players are running all over the SK, trying to locate Quillmane that they know it is up. Some toon with good tracking skill, may not be that bad idea after all. [You must be logged in to view images.

If I may ask you, can you explain more in detail, how would that 'easy raid loot that rots' work. Why these three classes? Do you need to be in the raid? If no, you are not Ninja looting?

When XP penalty stops, after Kunark or after Velious or sometime in between?
Between Ranger and Paladin, which one is better for solo?

Agree with this, Nuggie. However could you clarify how california fits in to this?

Personally I have given up on multiple toons in the mid 50s because knowing just how good the class gets and dealing with another 3-4 levels of being a weak-ass in an ancient emu isn't worth the headache once you've acquired enough gear to immediately reroll something new that will actually feel like you're playing a game rather than working a job.

Excellent point for those with a few too many alts headed into the grind to 60. MJ, which classes were so insufferable that made you give up on them mid 50s?

From my own experience, it comes from the fact that raids are either long over, or -at best - winding down by the time someone on the West Coast is able to join in the evening.

It's not a problem if you are flexible, but even with a family and job I can say that I'd be able to raid a hell of a lot more if I lived on the East Coast.

Not sure if this is what Nuggie was talking about...

I quit Shaman at 55 because of the attitude on blue of "just buy your epic and everything is easy." Green has blessedly been free of twink snobbery, and without 5+ years of Kunark hopefully it will stay that way until it recycles.

I thought everyone was just playing green so they can flip legacy items in 4 years

Is joke, comrades. "Known to cause cancer to the state of California" is something we burgers get to read on every other product label because Cal's been making up its own science for decades now.
It's the effective equivalent of stating "known to cause ESP interference by some crackpot in an RV".

Spot on, mate.

Ranger and paladin are the two least played classes. So their classes needs for raid loot is swiftly satisfied. Leaving further drops rotting. Bards are in a similar position, but only because they're such a pain-in-the-butt to play skillfully.

Rangers are pretty highly valued in Kunark/Velious for their tracking ability. Any ranger will be worth their weight in gold for months while people farm Seb keys(and the frontier mountain named cycle). And in Velious when folks need to farm stuff in those giant zones.

Nuggie, do you have a class that can bind near a bank? I need a personal platinum caddy to accept payment on my behalf in TT for tracking/pulling forager/hunter. Then you can just gate to the bank to meet me there to transfer my 500K plat to me. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
