Class

[Phobius]

Hi all,

I recently found out about P1999 and am excited to relive the good old days. I am currently debating what class to make and would love advice as I do not have the best memory of what classes were like at this point in the game. I am considering making a SK, monk, or necro and would like advice re: soloability/duoability (including what class to duo with), server need, etc. With Kunark on the horizon, should I hold off on making a monk or necro? Is regen that worth it?

Necros and mages are great soloers, but if you made a tank you would rarely have problems getting a group. The server probably needs tanks more than any other class.

Is a monk considered a tank at this point in time? Or do we just mean SK/Pally/War?

Would making a non-troll/ogre SK be a viable alternative to avoid the 1.68 penalty?

This isn't true. I have an easier time finding a group on my healer than a tank. Most groups will take 2 healers and only 1 tank.

Also, when making groups myself, I find it easier to find a lfg tank than a lfg healer.

What kind of healer do you play?

I get lots of tells on my druid for groups but I've always figured it's because they know I can get to wherever in short order. But I get more tells for groups on my Warrior than my GF does on her Cleric, depending on where we are/time of day etc, or so it seems.

I play a cleric, and it can be very hit or miss trying to get a group. Obviously, groups I'm in don't have problems finding healers lfg, but it seems like tanks are in short order.

Playing a SK here and I've been having a harder time finding a group. Mainly because Unrest and MM are camped to death.

opposite experience for me, i rarely go with my /lfg tag for long 38 sk here going on 50.

when it starts getting later, 10PM+ MT, i start getting spammed with group invites.

If I make a monk, what do I put my initial stat points into? I am thinking to divide between sta and str

Max sta.
