Question The easiest and simplest class to play?

I will play mostly solo. Very slow inexperienced player, less button I need to click, better. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Would Magician fit the role? Which pet, water? Or any other class?

Also is there somewhere link to FAQ?

Any Linux player here? What did you use for setup, Lutris?

Fast > Necro can basically use pet and lifetap and self mana lich to get to 40, then it gets more complicated.

Slow but simple, Mage, but they actually have some depth. It will take forever to level a mage or wizard if you don't learn the tricks and jump through some of the quest item clicky hoops and get gud. Same with wizard, wizards are hard if you are not a very patient conservative player.

Monk? IDK

Shm, u can play them like a wizard. Druids can be played like wizards. Just root, snare, kite in open zones.

I imagine your question should be were can you level that allows for a simple playsstyle, mostly outdoor zones, and druids and shamans excell at that. Pet management can be annoying.

As a druid you have the option of charming outdoor mobs which adds a little complexity but isn't neccissary and sometimes hinders if the mobs are dying relatively quickly.

Druids can hunt pretty safely in SK, Everfrost for a big chunk of the game getting 20-40 fairly easy without a ton of effort, track makes finding mobs easy and less of a hassle.

On a wiz or druid, you don't have to quad, quadding is complex, it just cuts leveling time by a factor of 4 which is a big deal to some people.

The big benifit of mage is you will be able to solo farm mobs under lvl 40 with easy and not much effort once you get there, you can easily use that mage to do quests or get gear, most people do this for other characters.

Magician, Wizard, and Rogue are the simplest classes. Magicians and Wizards can solo well.

This is kind of untrue. Quadding isn’t complex. Ensnare 4 mobs, run around in a circle until they are close together, then cast AoE nuke a few times.

Quadding is actually one of the best forms of AFK leveling given that without a mana regen buff on each quad will burn through most of your mana. So then you met and AFK for like 10 minutes or more. Then get back up and kill 4 mobs and med again and AFK.

Especially if you’re at a camp like the shore dwarves in BB...kill multiple mobs very quickly and then 12 minute respawn time means plenty AFK time if that’s what you want.

I agree. And I quadded to 60 without a staff of temperate flux and just quaffing sow pots on my live wizard.

However there are a lot of minor details and oddities like the staff of temmperate flux, camping jboots, farming the goblin hearts for the staff, positioning. Lining up the mobs. Having enough mana. Medding while moving or getting clarity to finish off a quad if barely enough or bad resists, etc... Managing server ticks to optimize spell casts and med ticks.

The thing is, I consider it simple, I agree that you feel like its simple, and I believe you. I wouldn't tell a newbie druid with tattered and patchwork armor to go have a quad though. Not without inviting them into my group and showing them how awesome my staff is )

That said, I leved two druids without quadding alternating between root rotting, and nuking or a combination thereof, harmony made life easy, and I would dot, nuke nuke, root, wait for it to die, and on single targets this was easy afk leveling on an ungeared character. Specced evok for pvp.

IMHO

The easiest and simplest class (and this is not a dig at OP) I belive wiz is the basicly best answer... the easiest class is begger

1. roll any character
2. bank gear
3. ....
4. click beg on any npc
5. profit

*4a. pick a newbie zone
*4b. run back after dying and loot your coins
*4c. beg from lvl 1 mobs and run to guards for assistance

you can afk at all lvl 1 newbie guards, you will probaby make 1 plat per hour diong this, you dont have to be at the computer full time and can safely afk near newbie guards for extended periods of time, eventually before you know it you will have 100kplat and be able to buy a power lvl to 50
