Concidering joining your worldFollow

#1 Sep 20 2006 at 9:51 AM Rating: Decent
I am seriously concidering playing EQ because I am about to get hooked up with a free account from my cousin. I am a basher by nature in most games, so I was just wondering what char classes I should concider.

thx

Basher=Melee and no spells=Warrior,Monk,Rogue. Probably will want to find groups most of the time.

Enlightened Basher=Melee w/ spells=Paladin,Shadow Knight,Beastlord,Bard,Ranger. Groups are a help but might be able to solo choice content.

Above Bashing=Pure Caster=Mage,Necro,Druid (all 3 can solo their whole carreer fairly easily),Cleric,Enchanter,Wizard(last 3 will benifit greatly from groups).

One way to test drive a toon is log into the test server and do /testbuffme and you will get a full developed lvl25 toon. Good luck

Berserkers are also included in melee.

Keep in mind that combat in EQ is a little more complicated then in most smash'em up type games. Not complicated in you have to memorize "left,right,square,circle,square,triangle,R1,R1,R2,R1,L2,L1,right,circle,square" but each class has it's little intricacies you'll have to learn. The importance of AC vs STA vs other stats for your particular class, when and why to use different disciplines, abilities and spells, positioning, etc, etc. I'm not trying to scare you off, just don't want you to think it's always as simple as hitting autoattack, going AFK and coming back two minutes later (even though I SWEAR there are some tanks that do that, even at level 70...).

Oh, BTW, welcome to "Sony's" world. We all just inhabit, for the good or bad. If it were all bad though we wouldn't still be here. ::grin::
