SK/Pally are your superior small group tanks all the way through the game. They grab aggro fast. The exp penalty is sort of dispersed through your group, so it's less of an issue of you leveling slow than of you finding a group that won't discriminate against you for it.

Shaman untwinked sort of sucks til 24, is mediocre until 34, and then really starts to shine. My shaman is about to hit 54, and despite seriously low budget gear, I still feel pretty powerful.

SHM is mediocre until 60. Class would be garb w/o torpors / canna.

slow + regen = gg

Keep in mind, since you aren't a twink, you'll be pretty group dependent.

And the best slows in the game. And the second best hastes. And healing. And CC. And some of the best dots. And a pet. And awesome buffs. And a comparatively easy epic that never loses usefulness. And has access to JBBs, but functions fine without it. And is in the top 3 solo classes for xp. And exclusive access to high-demand, money-making consumable potions. And the ability to solo dragons in Velious or duo Derekor at top end. And can feign death with sky gear.

Other than that, yeah, totally mediocre class.

I still have never leveled a Shaman Or Necro and always wanted to try.

As an enchanter/rogue, I LOVE having SK/PAL tanks because I never get hit. XP penalty is a small price to pay for a little extra security...

Yes, you may not be invited to some groups with min-maxers, but you probably don't want to group with them anyway...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Speaking as a farming class :P Torpor (and puppet strings $$) turns em into Gods. It's good prior to that, but not like torpor / canna cycles.

Shaman is the most expensive class to equip in the whole game. Keep that in mind. Other than epic.

Well i thought i would update [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So played sk and yeah took a while but the feel of the class is quite cool. A guy hailed me (cant remember name) gave me some stuff as he was deleting char! Was awsome. He is lvl 7/8 ish now got random buffs from a druid was good fun. Then to top it off had a guy called kapow or kapoow he was a monk gave me bronze armor haste belt.. Said im leaving server and that was that! Crazy!

Also rolled a necro . He is lvl 10 i think i have played necro before but pet is vvvv useful. The pet exp thing is abit meh but hey who cares!

Also played a bit of a enchanter and shm. Shammy not sure why but was the only class i didnt get that "feel" for.. Not sure why and i know a class doesnt show there potential for a while but hey how i felt [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] if that makes sence.

One thing i can say is server community is awsome. Reminds me of playing when my friend said to me "you got a good pc now and eq has released luclin try it" always regretted not playing classic so glad to have the opportunity.

Awsome community and glad there are groups around. So far couldnt be more pleased.

So my plan is to play sk/necro/chanter and see which one sticks balls to exp pens my new theory! Lol

Sk name is xarinr necro is metap chanter is memezin out of them il find a main lol
