Hello everyone.


I just picked up DAoC after some thought, and it looks good so far. I've played many MMOs (WoW, Everquest, Everquest II, UO) and this would be my next one. I was just wondering what he best Realm and Class is suited for a beginner, I like every kind of class (caster, melee, ranged). Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your time.

Not sure if you understand buffbots, but these are very popular in this game. Most serious players run 2 (or more) accounts, so they always have buffs.


The most recent expansions to the game have offered classes with good self buffs. Vampiirs and Heretics are good for this.

If you have friends to level with, you can do about any class. All classes are unique and different people are attracted to different types. YOu are best choosing a few and seeing what you like.

You would have to tell more of your endgame goals for me to help you more. The primary endgame of this MMORPG is the RvR aspect. There is considerable PvE content though if that is what floats your boat.

I'd suggest going to the clasic servers that do not allow buffbots. Classes that do well soloing might be pet classes b/c the pets can do most of the fighting without you having good gear (if you don't know anyone, gear is one of your biggest hinderances). Bonedancers are easy and fun to level, spirit masters, cabbies, enchanters, sorcs all fit this type. Charm a pet and let him whack away with you assisting.

Midgard needs the most help, and offers the best bonuses/incentives for people to join.

Thanks for the reply.

No, I don't know a single soul in this game, but it looked like fun so I was interested. I've gotten the hang of the basics, I just can't find a good class I like. I'll try out the pet classes, and Vampiir.

Vampiir's are solid choice also.

Will have to find some leather gear and a weapon, but self-buffs are built into the class, so they are good to go from start.

I also recommend the Albion Heretic.

When i first came to the game i found out that at the time the Albs were very strong and the Hibs not so strong so therefore i went Mids!! When i had chosen the Mids i was in exactly the same boat as you, I hadnt a clue which class to play melee,ranger,caster/solo,grouping??? it was all pretty difficult but in the end i went for the skald! I found that the skald was very enjoyable and was more used in groups rather than solo. Although it is possible to solo if you have the correct armour etc etc.The great thing about the skald as i found out was my speed and how quickly i was able to find a group in everything i did, This helped contribute to the enjoyable experiences during RvR rather than having to beg for a group as it usually is these days, But then again i joined the game about 3.5 years ago

Hope this has helped you in some sort of way!!
