New player - which class to pick?

[Nisrak]

Hi,
I played EQ heavily from vanilla all the way through PoP and it's definitely the best game ever! I've played most classes and raided a lot as warrior, enchanter, cleric, and monk. I'm curious what would be the best class to play on p99. The population actually looks pretty solid but should I play a class capable of soloing? At this point I'm leaning towards enc or war, but would like to hear opinions.

Thanks and looking forward to seeing you all in game!

Ok, i'll say it. Play what you like. It....does....not....matter.

I think the general answers you'll get are:
- Play what you like or what seems fun.
- Lots of people solo but that's more to accommodate their lifestyle than by necessity on the server.
- Paladins and Rangers are under-represented on the server

That said: Welcome from one newb to another!

Awesome, guess I'll just start out as enc and see how it goes. Thanks for the advice!

Necros are fun. Easiest to solo with imo.

Go warrior if thats what you like. There is such a glut of mid 40s-low50s kunark gear available that you can gear out with everything you need for 1kpp and thats assuming people don't just give you half the stuff you need. Spend your first few levels farming bone chips/spider silk/animal pelts, sell em off in EC and buy some weapons + banded & some ac/hp rings if you can afford it.

Then just loot up while you group (but don't be a loot whore). By 30 you'll be fully outfit in everything you need to get to lvl 50 and by then you can start attending planar raids and get stuff.

You probably want a class that isn't gear dependant and can farm plat first. So necro/mage/druid/shaman type. Then make a gear dependant twink.

Never be tempted to play a class that's "in demand" if you don't enjoy it... as you'll just end up making another alt after another alt. Better to pick something you KNOW you're going to enjoy (a certain role in a group) and run with it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
