First time player - class suggestions?
Hello,
First time to play EQ. I played it a bit when it first came out. Yes, I'm old. Any suggestions for a good first class? Something that is forgiving on mistakes. I love to group but will likely find myself soloing at times. I'm a tank a heart but I read they are tough to start but come in to their own later in the game? Suggestions? | ||

For solo: Necromancer
Desired in groups: Enchanter, Cleric, Bard Good all around: Shaman Ive always loved Shadow Knights but they get the hybrid xp penalty, and depending on race get more penalty. Like a Troll SK takes forever to level. While a Halfling Warrior takes like the least xp to level. Really play what you want. There is currently a need for tanks. And DPS apparently (Bard, Wiz, Ranger, Rogue)

Perhaps your area is a tank class starting area? | |||

You could also consider a Monk. They are not a tank class but they are sometimes asked to tank when one isn't around. They are also a bad ass melee DPS who can solo decently and make excellent pullers for groups. You would be viable solo, very welcomed to groups and very welcomed to raiding guilds.

One thing to consider if you choose to tank is that you'll likely end up pulling sometimes, which can be tough to do efficiently until you learn the zones, especially in places like Guk.

It's kinda ironic that nearly every post where someone asks for suggestions on a class, everyone scares potential tanks away with the OMFG THE EXPERIENCE PENALTY!!! But then everyone complains there aren't any tanks. Back in 1999 I leveled up a Paladin AND a Shadow Knight and didn't think twice because I stayed off of the forums and didn't even know about the experience penalty.
