Wizard,enchanter or ranger?

[Nagash]

If you only played a bit and didn't like the druid, I doubt you;ll like the wizard.

Pretty hilarious response to Alarti's ridiculous advice.

One thing people keep forgetting to mention is you need jboots to charm solo with enchanter. Either that or do it right next to a zoneline which is pretty impractical.
(I suppose sow potions are a possibility, or buying/begging sows)

So either have 5k to buy a MQ or be prepared to group till you're at least 35.

These days finding groups isn't too bad and I would prefer it to charm soloing anyway. (Tho depending on the group and your luck with charm breaking, soloing can be better xp)

Wizards are great soloers once you get snare. At higher levels you can quad kite for really fast xp.

Don't know much about rangers. My understanding is it is prohibitively expensive to solo with arrows. I would expect fear kiting animals is possible. The snare is useful in groups.

No, you don't.

Are jboots nice to have when soloing an enchanter? Of course. But they aren't necessary even if you are doing all of your soloing outdoors. And when you are soloing in dungeons, where the action really is, you probably won't want to be gating/running out (and then back in) 4 times per hour to keep your jboots refreshed... especially when you often won't be able to train out of the dungeon regardless of whether you're moving 30% faster or not.

I chose the classes that I play on P99 because they are classes that I haven't played on live or any other EMU server, otherwise I would have chozen Wizard in a heartbeat.

Best/easiest DPS in game (spend mana, kill mobs) + Teleportation (The nexus and PoK will never ever exist on P99) is a gigantic time saver, not to mention Evacuation is one of if not the best options to have in any dungeon situation.

To each their own of course, but I never got bored nuking the crap out of mobs for a living, sure it's not quite as dynamic as an enchanter or a druid/shaman, but I get sick of buffing people all day, I understand it's necessary and productive but it doesn't feel very proactive.

still a bit torn on what to play >.>

I guess at this point whatever a good melee type that newbie friendly might do. Maybe a rogue?

Other then that,it looks like enchanter is a solid choice from the advice given here. thanks guys [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I should probably add that a friend of mine is leveling a clerico n here,too. or would an enchanter compliment them rather well?

clr/enc is only second fiddle to dru/enc (due to the much larger utility tool-kit a dru can bring to bear). Clerics work great with other casters: the other caster PLs the cleric 99% of the time, but the cleric has heals/rezzes to keep the caster from losing hours worth of work at a time. And when the cleric has spare mana, he can be nuking/stunning to keep that exp bar moving.
