I have been leaning towards playing a Druid actually. But was concerned about the ability to get groups, you really think that will be pretty much alleviated with the server being fresh? That might decide it for me.

As main healer it will be rough without clarity/twinks. But off heal/charms/dmg shield/snare/dots druid is nice.

Will wizards be viable and wanted? Always wanted to wizard but never liked how they are not top desired in exp group. How will green make that different?

Wizard spells will actually help kill things quickly since there's no fungi twinks running around with 12/20 weapons.

Playing different.

60 Enchanter on Blue.

Going a big ugly Troll SK for Green.

I know it will be a hell of a lot harder, but I'm in no rush and want something totally different this time around.

Having leveled a dark elf SK on P99 during classic-era 2010 and remembering the pain, I can only imagine how slow and difficult it will be with the added racial penalty. I'll be cheering for ya.

Wizards don't get any buffs, but some other folks get a few indirect nerfs. Melee won't have good weapons and other gear, meaning less damage (and possibly more healing needed). Pet casters lost some UI features they are used to. Charmers won't have hit point or charisma gear or spellgem clickies for quite a while. NPCs in classic era have fewer hit points. Caster NPCs will be relatively more dangerous to already-weaker groups. The world is smaller, but there aren't dozens of druid alts all over the world waiting to port you to your destination 24/7.

All these things increase the relative appeal of the things wizards bring to the table.

I'm not sure how many people who tended to shun wizards on blue will really process all of this. But I know *I* would be more happy to see a wizard in my group on green than I would have been on blue.

Playing a class I played before, in an era I never played it in. I didn't main my SK until the beginning of Luclin, and even then it started as a twink. This is going to be a delicious experience.

I never played necro on live, but played one on red and it’s not my favorite class by far.

No other class is near as fun, versatile, or sexy.

I can’t edit my post, but I meant to say necro is now my favorite class, not “not.”
