so i was thinking...Follow

it hurts alot i know...

anyways i'm thinking about coming back to eq, i hate my 75 warrior he's not in a guild has crud for gear each group i've been in i've just got owned because of the fact i lack the raid gear (i'm sitting around 14k and 2900ac) yeah not good enough...

scheudle of work puts me working almost every evening, i don't have weekends to play and grind with the flow of everyone else.

so now i'm thinking about coming back.. what server does everyone think i should play on. i was on cazic thule for a bit but now it's if you don't have 18k hp you suck and are a newb there and i hated it.

the warrior is nice but i don't feel like playing him any more i'm looking for a decent class to play one who can go off and solo if he wants or actually bring something to the party.

any ideas what to play and what server to play on?

14k HP and 2900 AC can tank anything except the highest TSS/TBS zones if you have a Cleric no?

Necromancer.

Massive DPS for groups and can solo anything that does not summon or Death Touch. (Can even solo summoners with good gear and AAs)

You can always come to the Combine. 14k is unheard of thus far.

I'm thinking that you are lacking defensive aa's more than anything else. 14khp and 2900 ac isn't that bad. You have about 500 aa's and none of them are tradeskill aa's, right?

Or move to the AB server. Your working nights, I presume, means you can play during the day in the U.S. - that would be primetime for the Euro server.

And I'd suggest you just look for a guild that's doing DoN, GoD and OOw, where your HP/AC will be just fine and where you can gear up in step with the guild's progression.

As a paladin, I am incredibly envious of your current state of not good enough, I would love to be as not good enough as you, in fact.

Seriously though, from the random minimum requirements I've noticed from the raid guilds on my server now and then, you hardly seem to be very far behind the curve from being an acceptable candidate for any guild with a tankish need.

I'm just trying to figure out where you were grouping and getting so badly beaten on with those stats. Either your group was lacking fiercely, you don't have much of anything in the way of defensive AAs, or it is in fact one sadistic zone.

Can you transfer characters on the Combine now?...level 75 ones?

Sometimes it's not all about the gear and hp/ac. What about AA's? what about group support? What about your understanding of the class?

As others have stated 14k+hp/~3kac stats are better than your average bear, eh. So, I guess I'd not question the stats as a reason for lacking tankage opportunities.

That said however, if you want to make a new soloable toon, go for it. Atm, Norrath is swarming with soloing Beastlords, Necros and Mages.

Here is the Warrior leader board for CT. Now, I realize these stats may be buffless and maybe your 14k is totally buffed, still...you fall within or close to the top 100. CT is not a high end server as far that goes. It doesn't pop up on the leader boards hardly at all.

If some cleric is telling you they can't keep you healed for normal groupage, then either the cleric sucks or you suck.

Prime roles earn a rep fairly quickly and it usually doesn't go away even if you take a break.

14000/2900 with 600+ AAs isn't great, but it's not bad either. Odds are somewhere down the line you earned a rep and it stuck.

If this is the case, changing servers probably won't help as your rep usually catches up with you.

If it's not a case of having earned a bad rep, try staying away from the high end zones. Which brings up the question, what zones are you trying to hunt in?

I don't think you can transfer, I was just saying he could come over and re-roll. Not a much pressure to catch up. (DoN isn't unlocked yet)

If a cleric can't keep up a 14k almost 3k AC tank then the problem isn't with the tank. Warriors innately never take DI 20 (never get hit for true max damage) and I can keep my 15.5k 3k SK up in all but the very hardest single groupable content with only the cleric healing and the druid burning full dps. I've played all of my toons single boxed in pick up groups just to see what it's like and I could easily heal your warrior with just my cleric, I've healed worse.
