Default the differances of classes in pvp

i've never really pvp'd in eq, and in other mmo's ive done pvp in, some classes are better at it then others

over all i'd like to very much play on this server, but not too certain what to play, i've been thinking about a ogre shaman

seems to me that a good dot class like necro is'nt a bad idea either, but just dont know

may play a cleric for the hell of it, i for one enjoy grouping, and am not really into the playing by myself and trying to gank others

Shamans are good for their durability but they get resisted a LOT, it's very easy to raise pr/dr/cr and then shamans just basically attack and survive.

Necros have unresistable spells and ROCK in pvp.

Druids rock as well.

Wiz's are good end of kunark/velious and rock past that

SKs are good.

Enchs are annoying for their debuffing.

Not great, but can be annoying. Mage spells are easy to resist if you have the gear (which every vet will be going for resist gear).

Nasty once you get the epic pet.

not as good as other casters due to lack of escape mechanisms.

by far the most rewarding classes will probably be druid / wizard. Thats how it was on rallos zek.

cleriks were good in a group since they can heal, necros were not too bad but they usually got killed before their target died so it wasn't all that.

not sure about shamans, i've never played one and they weren't too popular on rallos.

And to Bakkily:

EZ mode during classic= Mage, Necro (need to understand you spells), Wizard.
All mele = tougher to get kills
Hybrids have their benefits during classic and kunark


Kunark is a bit more even all around. Velious tilts it a bit to the mele classes.

Speculation is useless right now until we know how resists are going to work..

exactly, but ogre shaman is always a good roll, in case people don't hack with cure counters.

Ogre is the way to go for any caster class that has ogre in the race pick, because of the no frontal stun. So ogre sk also much better than troll sk, that 10 regen at 60 really don't matter, rather lifetap without issues.
