Ah yea, ultimately she should play what she wants. I feel like she'll get tired of Monk quickly. What level is she?

Another good one is Magician. I got my sister to play Magician too. Having pets and nuking is always fun. It also allowed her to be adventurous and kill stuff on her own if she was feeling it.

If your GF decides to settle on monk, Shaman really would be the ideal partner... but as you stated, your main is a Shaman.

Would you guys be planning to duo most of your levels? If so, I'd suggest one of the other priest classes, probably druid for yourself. The porting is awesome for helping expose her to all the zones and fun areas.

If you're not duoing, then enchanter may be nice. However, Enchanters are the most gear dependent of all the INT classes. Maybe necro? You guys could do some solid fear-kiting later on.

Start up as a duo on red, if she can handle that... she can handle any game you can throw at her [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Haha she doesn't want other people to attack her because she barely knows the basics of the game. She kept asking all worried if people could attack her.

So far she was digging the monk, she liked being able to dual wield and kick stuff, haha. But she only got to level 2 (and a half) so really just barely ventured out of WFP and got her first sash.

We will be duoing pretty much all of the time. She says she wouldn't be comfortable grouping at the moment because she doesnt want people to get mad at her for sucking, heh. I was thinking I may have to play a priest class. Cleric really doesn't interest me and I dont think it brings much to the table besides heals. Maybe druid is the way to go.

It will be my first time playing a druid though, anyone have tips for me? Once we hit around lvl 20 I will probably switch back to my shaman full time, unless I fall in love with the druid!

Until she gets FD and starts FD pulling, there is no real way she can suck in a group. So now may be the ideal time to start grouping and getting use to the best aspect of EQ. Besides, she's much more likely to stay if she makes other friends in game.

My 2cp. Good luck either way.

She did meet a couple people last night, and was really into talking to people which I saw as a sign of hope. She went to the EC tunnel and starting talking/dancing with random people before she logged. Heh.

Nope. Roku was the name of my warrior on Terris-Thule from 2000 to about 2004. Someone else has the name on p99 though [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Maybe that is the person you seek.

My wife played WoW from 2004-2010 with me. She is level 40 now on her shaman w/ my SK.

I can tell you that it's harder to adjust to the proverbial 'carrot' - WoW the rewards were very tangible and levels never take longer than an hour each unless you're in the current 'max level' content - then they take 2-3 hours.

We started out pretty well - leveling quickly (geared out, ofc). Then double XP came and while that was active we gunned from 30-40 pretty flawlessly and at the same pace as we had been.

Then the double XP went ou and now we're stuck in a hell level. I think she is just about ready to quit. 'We've been in level 40 forever I'm getting tired of this place'.

'The grind' as it were isn't something a WoW player, or really anyone who wasn't into EQ or MUD games, can really handle.

I recommend being altoholic and then if she finds a class she loves she will just LIKE to play it and want to continue. Not sure my wife really loves shaman - it's a very busy class.

That sounds like a solid plan!
