That's good advice, however, if you have your mind set on being a stealth-type, why not make a compromise and try a Ranger instead, they get good Stealth also, or if you really want to be a Nightshade that badly, then go for it.

I meant what I said at the beginning of this thread, that my crew will be open to all in this thread who want to try the server out together, whether they're vets or playing for the first time, even if their class choice is a stealther type. Believe it or not, there ARE ways you can be helpful in PvE as a stealther too, and useful in RvR even with a group made primarily out of non-stealthers.

I was trying to find a decent Valewalker RvR video from Uthgard (especially for low-mid lvls), to show someone interested in playing a DPS class similar in some ways to an EQ Monk, and came across this interesting compilation. It not only shows what a Valewalker who knows what they're doing can do, but also some very interesting PvP fights for the rest of you to see.

You can see this guy knows what he's doing, he finds enemy healers quite fast just by studying their reactions on inc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTVq8fVaKDQ

Wanna give this server a try when it's back? They've wiped all the chars, so everyone will be starting from scratch again just like when the game first came out, it'll be a blast!

I will likey start something up on here. Is enchanter useful in pve and pvp? Also, do you get last names?

Chanters are so-so in PvP, they can't solo (no run speed, among other reasons) but then again it's not really a solo-focused game. Chanters are great in PvE, they are the masters of pbaoe groups, and in PvP pbaoes are also useful in some keep defense situations as they can often hit through thin walls/doors, and chanter pets also path through doors/walls, so their pets are great at finishing runners who are low on hp.

If you want a PvP-focused caster I'd go eldritch

Enchanters are very useful in both environments, but make sure to read the class descriptions I've posted, cause the only thing DAoC Enchanters and EQ Enchanters have in common are their class names, mostly. It's a pet class with very decent single target DPS, and strongest pbaoe damage in the game - if you spec for it, it's more similar to the EQ Mage. If you've ever seen those Chardok PBAOE groups on P99, the same can be done in this game but on a more constant basis, if the group is well prepped for it.

If I end up being a Mentalist, they go really well together with Enchanters, cause the Mentalist can heal your pet (without getting aggro, for the most part) while you use your Focus Damage Shield for crazy damage. You get new pets every 7 levels or so, the one at level 7 happens to be a single target caster that does exceptional damage, which also goes up as you level, cause the level of the pets is directly influenced by the level of the caster to be approx 82% of caster's level upon being summoned.

As for another really useful strat, is the Heat resist debuff you get in the same spec line as the PBAOE & Pet Focus Shield, since all 3 casters have Heat nukes in their base line, we can do incredible damage if done right.

Any word on when the server will come back. I played an alb wizard on live and had SO much fun til wow killed it.

Maybe you can try Enchanter also, or better yet, an Eldritch! No ETA yet but it shouldn't be that long now.

Yeah I did, I was a mage on p99 thats what i asked about enchanter. Think its just what im looking, just want to make sure it isn't horrible in either pve or pvp cause I would like to do both.

I want a class that can do both decently. I remember reading at some point that people wouldn't invite certain classes to pvp groups or higher end pve, so I want a class that won't be excluded from either.
