Why did you pick your class? - Page 2

Rolled wizard because I didn't play that much classic EQ to begin with. And I had a wizard back then port me once and I thought it was bad ass.

So I created a wizard. Then the tell's asking for ports started...

and never stopped.

I never really understood anything about Bards, I just remember how much I loved having them in my group because they'd always give me little 12 second buffs with the silly names. I thought they were mostly a grouping class and I kind of wanted to roll something with less of an offensive role after having played a tank 10 years ago. I also didn't think I'd be that serious about this server so I wanted to roll something fun. I definitely made the right choice in the end, I can't imagine enjoying any class anywhere near as much as I enjoy playing my Bard.

I thought EverQuest would be much more roleplay than it was, although I was "blessed" with a server that was very open to roleplayers. I put lot of thought into what I'd play, based on roleplay.

When I saw dark elves, I knew I was going to play one. I wanted to be important in their culture, and be involved in the furtherance of their Dark God's will.

So I rolled a Cleric.

I ask you - why is it that a cleric to the Prince of Hate, the Lord of Ire, the Seething God.... is a healer? Tunarean priests cast the very same spells as a priest of Innoruuk. It made no sense to me.

So I deleted, and played a class I deemed truer to the faith. A Necromancer. Ask Cristanos Thex - she agrees with me!

I picked necro for my main, since it was my second-favorite class back in the day and because I fully enjoy the class and the game when soloing with a necro.

Enchanter is my favorite class, but I decided against one because my play time is usually on off-hours and usually not in one, long, daily session... hence trying to get into groups would have been impossible, or at least extremely frustrating.

I rolled a monk because I wanted to actually do DPS and get groups this time around. The thought of playing a Paladin again hurt my soul.

Everything about the Necromancer just screamed ruthless, brutal efficiency to me. And that was before I really even experimented with charm and pact healing. No-brainer for me. Can solo all the way to 60 or be the glue guy of a group.

Played a shaman religiously on live, absolutely loved it, sheltered it and cared for it for years!

Came here and didn't want to continue the trend, its all about rediscovering old content - so why not discover a new race/class combo?

Then Brik was born, a troll SK... and no doubt a challenge to level with the penalties! Enjoying my first tank assignment, really enjoy pulling - I think I'm onto a winner [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I picked a Cleric because when I was creating my character, it was like 4:00am and there was less than 200 people online, which led me to believe that there wasn't a whole lot of people playing on this server and that finding groups might be tough. (I didn't take into account that it was 4am cuz I was so excited to play I wasn't thinking straight) So I picked the one class I know can almost always find a group.

My characters on Sony's servers were a 70 Warrior (main) and 54 Cleric. This time I'll switch it up, play the Cleric as my main, and have a melee alt. Not gonna play a warrior though, since I had hundreds upon hundreds of days /played before. Been there done that kinda thing. peace

ENCs were seriously OP when server started. Since then I picked NEC alt cause they can kill, and CLR main for guild support.

Picked a wizard because I wanted ease of travel. As a cleric on live, one thing I always longed for was massive nukes. I got on here and thought, hey, why not?

Then I got stuck on Odus until level 16 because those stupid sharks were able to travel on land. :| It was miserable, but I have never regretted only being able to open up cans o' whoopass and nothing else.
