I'm a bit biased, but I think barbarian warriors look the snazziest. The ogre warrior is objectively the best choice from a min/max perspective due to frontal stun immunity & their ridiculously high stamina & strength.

This is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, and I believe you should pick a class/race combination that suits you based on the lore of the world or what looks the coolest.

Good luck and happy hunting!

If you've never played EQ before, I would recommend Barbarian over Ogre. It will make the learning curve a lot easier.

Iksar necro is the best first toon for someone who has never played imo.

Barb is going to be easier with less places that hate you and more places you won’t have problems fitting. Nice thing is you can train almost anywhere so if going that route I’d find a port out of Everfrost and never go back. My wiz is bound there and can help; send “Chapman” a /tell in game.

First toon shouldn't be warrior honestly. If you want to play a melee class as your first char you should go Shadowknight, Paladin, or Monk. Any of those classes will be more dynamic and are able to farm for money to fund your main or alts.

If you are dead set on warrior and must pick between Ogre and Barb, I would go Ogre. Both are tall, so you will need shrink in both cases, but Ogres have better stats and a more conveniently located start area. They are evil, but honestly that is pretty easy to get around with a bit of research. While it is true Barbarians are kos in less cities, if you are truly running around Norrath blind and without a guide, you will still run in to plenty of KoS npcs just by chance.

Ogres are fugly, quit my ogre sk in the 50s because I just got tired of looking at him.

War race is all about fashion, go barb for sure. Being tall isn’t as bad when you’re not fat.

first toon (min/max wise) should be a class that could fam very well

warriors are pretty tough to in order to gear out and very expensive

I made a warrior twink recently and dropped about 40k on him

Ogres and Trolls look great IMO. Trolls have the best animation set in classic EQ hands down. To each his own[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
