Default Melee Class Help

Hello all,



I'm trying to get into this game and I'm really looking for a melee to play. I've read everything saying melee is far more gear dependent but sitting and waiting for mana is a real bore. I have a 15 rogue but I'm starting to consider another melee class that could provide some of the rogue fun and a little more solo. Is a Ranger a viable option (not being top tier for anything obviously) or should I just stick it out with the rogue and wait for groups.

Ultimately I'm just looking for a class that doesn't focus on mana as much, can do some decent dps in a group but also go it alone if need be.

Yes, your option is pretty mutch Iksar monk. Melee will be a pain either way if your new. But at least with monk you have a chance to escape death.

Well thats my opinion.

Monk is easily the best melee to solo with (especially without gear).

Iksar monk has much more regen and you can fight quicker (but with some xp penalty).

If you manage to just get 2 wu's sticks or a wu's staff (about 50-100p each) you're honestly set for a long time.

Feign Death is a real god send. Monk and Shadow Knight are my 2 favorite melee classes by a large margin

If you don't want to play casters because of medding time, there is another option:

Bard.

Easily the fastest soloer in game, but you need to be aware that the playing style is really really active. Also it's a complicated class, unlike monk. But a bard can solo a lot more stuff than a monk can and bards are not very gear dependant.

Monk really is your only answer if you have limited platinum, need to solo, and don't want a mana bar.

EQ is supposed to be a social game. Your rogue will be more effective in groups on a budget. Epic is 30k save all your shekels for this one purchase and you're superbly effective in groups. /assist the tank and mindlessly backstab your way to 60 while you acquire more shekels for your first alt.

Why would you pay for one of the easiest epics in the game lol? Just do the quest.
