What class you will play on green?

[Cezar]

Was wondering about class distribution on green server? Is it true as someone says there will be only bards and druids? Let’s see!

Who the heck said it'd be all all bards and druids? Lol.

I expect lots of enchanters, necros, druids, of course. Fewer shamans than blue, fewer hyrbids than blue, more group-oriented classes like cleric and rogue than blue, more mages than blue. The rest about the same.

Poll: What will be your main on WoW Classic?

[derjen]

Enchanter

[Thulghor]

I might just do a paladin for lulz now.

[Loadsamoney]

Probably a Bard.

[Keebz]

As a main bard, I really hope they nerf bard AE's again (perhaps to hit only ~4 mobs).

In classic people mostly didn't run around in circles and actually played their bards. Would be nice for it to be the same here.

If they do that, there will probably be a lot less bards causing mayhem, which I'm cool with.

[Crede]

Eyepatch mage. Anyone know the timeline when you didn’t have to do at least 50% dmg compared to your pet?

[Halfcell]

Looks like chanters are way out in front. May have to roll something else.

[Voodude]

Considering that the hybrid penalties affect the group for some time, I wonder how many people are going to re-roll within the first week.

[Albanwr]

Put me down for a cleric. Always a cleric

[djvyhle]

Who voted for monk lol

[Tecmos Deception]

Who voted for monk lol

People who want to be a dark elf monk, probably?

Warriors in classic are going to be in for a rough ride. At least FSI is fixed this time around. Wasn't working before.

[Keebz]

Will be interesting to compare intentions versus results.

See this post from classic era on blue: https://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5768

Nilbog did a dump of the actual class count: http://oi43.tinypic.com/34fk4s7.jpg

Legend here: https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/wiki/Class-List

I suspect the results this time around will be somewhat similar, but maybe more bards, now that AE kiting is a well practiced skill.

[Widan]

Sol Ro quests don't come out til half a year after release. Godspeed anyone trying to play a tank.

Warriors have always had a rough ride. How is an unfunded or meekly geared Warrior even supposed to solo effectively without ridiculous amounts of downtime, if at all?

Also, why so many Enchanters?

You'd be surprised at how effective the bind wound in combat trick is.

If you can get an axe of the slayers at 30 a warrior can chain kill a lot of the blues in South Karana or mammoths in everfrost. That is good, safe plat (whether tusks or fine steel).

Otherwise you are limited to killing bottom end of blue. Slow and steady.

Enchanters are desirable in groups and 'raids' (will people even raid kedge on green?) and they don't really lose power compared to velious era since they were using NPCS, not equipment, for their dps anyway. They don't have an iksar option; some people will be holding out for kunark before starting their main, probably farming plat and gear to start a twinked iksar.

[jolanar]

Bind wound in combat is still unconfirmed if classic. Never seen any evidence to suggest it is. Should nerf it before green IMO.

[Legidias]

Inb4 90% of population at start is mages

[Tecmos Deception]

Not when people realize there's no kunark or velious zones to aoe kite in.


Also, why so many Enchanters?

Surely you jest? Then again, I think a lot of folks will be as turned off by playing a chanter without twinking or great gear options (charisma will be harder to come by, no goblin gazughi ring, far fewer spell gem clickies especially pre-solro) as will avoid bards because of poor ae zones or hybrids because of xp penalties or melee because lolgear.

Druids and pet classes. Druids and pet classes everywhere.

Always wanted a full purple DE cleric in the classic timeline. Group class, no penalty..Cleric for sure.

It's a great class. Totally unparalleled as healer and hp+ac buffer with solid resist buffing, rezzes, stuns, roots, calm, and more. And especially in classic, their nuking is no joke. Green will probably be too busy to be doing it much, but on blue years ago my clerics blazed through levels soloing undead in spots like befallen, najena, unrest (dat hag tower doh), spectres. It's literally superior to grouping for xp unless it's a rock solid group.

I'm partial to halflings for sneak, xp bonus, and hide, though.

[Jimjam]

Was atone added in kunark or is it classic?

[Brocode]

i dont see None

Nun falls under monk (it's the female version of the class).

[Keebz]

Is there a good break down of class strength in classic somewhere?

I suspect at least half the votes are based off current class balance. Once we go live, there will be a LOT of rerolls to mage, druid, necro, etc.

Depends what your parameter is - If it is raid progression, which I suspect Green will be solely about, Wizard is the VIP class for getting things done quick and painlessly in Classic. It is not a popular class to solo level or group level, so I expect most Raid guilds will be snatching every competent Wizard with playtime and even rerolling/pling themselves. Into Kunark, geared Wizards just continue to keep their value.

Even more-so if DPS race becomes law of the land.

[Seungkyu]

I think this is pretty accurate for Classic->Velious.

I too recall Wizards being a rare commodity, and many people going caster for gearing their hybrid twinks.
