Disabilities and P99

[mrens]

I often get the nostalgic itch I need to scratch when I think back to all the good times I had.
The issue I have about returning is about ability, I am a fairly disabled gentleman. I can manipulate a mouse and punch commands into a keyboard, but not swiftly. I am hoping EQ Will be slow enough to handle. As far as class selection goes I am hoping for input;

I managed to be my guilds MT in wow despite my issues, that has spoiled me as Far as looking for a group is concerned so I hope to play something necessary

Cleric is my top choice, I previously had a 30 cleric on blue, And throwing out a heal every minute is more my speed.
I have always wanted to start an enchanter though I’m a little worried about reaction time.
Bard would be good, while twisting would be near impossible via clicking, I would not be opposed to purchasing a macro keyboard and mouse, and would not mind recommendations, with selos and invisibility it would make travel a lot easier, navigating in dungeons is one of the more difficult things for me. But no pulling or kiteing
I used to play a shaman on BB back in the day, While it is my speed, And sow and invis Is nice.I would like to try something different

Mage/Necro/wizard would be a good back up

A puller would be out of the question

I also can’t type very swiftly I can do a mana check,
But I can communicate with discord though I might have to repeat myself. Is there any word on when green will be resetting/rolling over to blue? I only started playing with Kunark and have never played vanilla

I wouldn't try to talk you out of cleric if it's your top choice. You won't have much trouble finding groups or a guild, I think clerics are always in demand. Mage is a good second option for ease of playing and group desirability. I would also consider druid if you want to make some easy money porting higher level players around.

There's no official date for the next server launch, but I believe January 2023 is the earliest it could be. Welcome back.

I recommend maybe something like a Druid that can get you started and has traveling power. The style of killing things is usually root rot or a quad kite. Root rot would work well in your favor if mobility is an issue.

It’s a fun class and you can port as well as hold some pretty decent low level cash camps. It’s a good starter to fund an alt or a new main character if you decide druid isn’t your bag. Just my 2 cents.

[realsubtle]

Seconding Druid. Root Rotting is incredible. A few clicks and a little bit of positioning and you can spend most of your playtime idling. Much less clicky and demanding than something like Shaman, Shadowknight, Necromancer etc. And the speed buffs and teleports truly open the whole game world up when you get to mid levels.

[magnetaress]

Wizard. You can kite entirely with single key presses, stuns, root, bonds of force. And the class has the lowest APM of all.

Wars have to kick bash, pull and taunt. Monks require a lot of mobility and the most reflexes.

Rogue is also viable. And less important than having a supercleric who plays more like a paladin that can cast.

[mrens]

I like that suggestion. I only thought of druids as quad kiting porters, with bad heals, so did not think of it, but root/rot works, and also SoW/invis

Though I will wait for the reset, I can wait

[Naethyn]

Clerics get the most help.

[mrens]

As a rich druid I can BUY help. I already have $ in my eyes

[Fammaden]

I think cleric is the better choice, if you don't mind being group/other dependent. Root rotting on druid is insanely slow compared to quadding and charming and isn't really very good in the first place without epic and clicky drones bracer, but I guess its an option if you are only going to solo.

[Toxigen]

Cleric is a good choice.

Basically anything but enchanter or bard.

[Fammaden]

Rogue might be reasonable also.

If you don't already use one and have the ability to use your thumb without any issues I would recommend getting a mmo mouse. This will give you 12 buttons on the side of the mouse that you can press. With green having the hotbar fixed you now have 10 slots that you can put your abilities, spells, macros in that you can just click on your mouse. I went through a couple Razer Naga mouses but am currently using a corsair scimitar mouse. For myself I find the Scimitar more comfortable to use than the Naga and find I am able to use the 12 buttons better on it.

As for class, I would always say play what you really want to play and interests you as it is a long road and you can quickly loose interest in a character you don't enjoy playing. With that said I would be more mindful on the role you might end up playing. If you MT'd in WoW, I don't see why you wouldn't have a problem playing a tank class in EQ, in terms a movement and ability usage. The caster and healer classes should have less movement for you then playing a tanking class. You mentioned Cleric being your top choice and that should work well for you. Between using an MMO mouse and the F keys for targeting you could get by pretty well.

As you mentioned puller would be out of the question. So if you do plan on grouping a lot I would be mindful of playing a class that others would want you to pull for them. That doesn't mean that you couldn't play that class but you could be asked to fill that role.

Cleric is a great choice in a group setting. Can be very laid back, throwing a heal and buffs out here and there.

Definitely wouldn't recommend a cleric for you if you are looking to XP faster as a duo with a necro/enchanter/druid as they would expect help with roots/stuns etc, a mage would work nicely, as no charm pet breaks. Just sit back and heal the summoned pet.

EQ does have a lot of 6 minute single camps. If you pick the right class/faction you can most likely solo to 60. Will take time, but not out of the question.

Mage is a good second choice. Send pet in, nuke 51% for all the XP, med and repeat.

Necro depending on your abilities. Snare,fear, send pet in, dots and repeat.

[Penarddan]

I thought that nobody was playing this WoW anymore, that she had died as well as Hots.

[goblinmob]

I've played a couple druids and am not a fast player under pressure. I had fun with druid since as many people have said fear/root dotting is pretty laid back. If things get out of hand, you have SoW/autorun. Sitting around and porting for tips is pretty laid back. It's just a fun class to play!

I hope you find something fun that will suit your play style!!

[Seidin]

Cleric would be rough if you have to solo at all but everyone needs and loves clerics so grouping up or finding a duo partner wouldn't be an issue.

If you prefer to solo more Druid has a few different play styles that can work for you depending how you're doing that day, root rotting doesn't require a lot quick movements and if you're having a better day then you can quad and get a bit more xp imo.

Necromancer would be fine too given they have a lot of nice group utility spells and can solo incredibly well so you could take you time exploring dungeons a bit safer with invis/ivu and FD if that's a direction you wanted to try as well.

If it helps at all everyone on P99 is disabled in way shape or form.

[Encroaching Death]

Rogue, Mage, or Cleric.

Necro would probably be fine as well. Especially when you get to the stage when root rotting becomes possible. Still a good choice. There isn't an excessive amount of spell gem swapping.

[goblinmob]

Have you picked a class yet, OP?

[zelld52]

Cleric, rogue, mage are very relaxed play compared to other classes. Wizard too if you can find groups.

Don’t roll a tank of any kind, don’t roll a shaman or enchanter either.

Necro is pretty relaxed too - but certain circumstances require fast action (solo)

Bard in group can be chill if you just focus on twisting 1-2 songs, and most high level groups really just want a bard for mama battery.

[Valakut]

you can get by on typing slow by setting up your hotbars nicely

you get 0-9 per page and i think theres 9 pages? you just hit shift and number to go to that page where you can have premade social responses
