Hey guys, so I just came over to project 1999 red from EQ2 because of something called nostalgia. Anyways, I am new to this Eq1 classic business and I rolled a troll sk named Rummaguk (the gimp) and got him to 7 but im having MASSIVE problems leveling and killing things, whether it be players or NPCS. Im not a total noob at eq1 as I played Eq1 "back in the day" on RZ during the velious/luclin era.
First things first... PVE: Any tips you could offer me to playing a sk? This class seems WAY weaker then what I remember from LIVE, oh my god, is it alwful. Please tell me it gets better??? Granted I havnt got spells yet but trying to level off blues in ECL / Nek forest is hell! I have logged some 20 hours of /played and still have yet to get 9 lol. Does AC even help that much in classic? I got a full suit of leather armor and it doesnt seem to help much against mobs.
Would it be worth it saving up a large chunk of money to get banded/bronze? Whats a good weapon to use also? I figure I can farm bonechips / spidersilk to sell to players until I save up enough PP for some good equipment, but what would be a good weapon to aim for in the low 100 pp range like less than 250 that players commonly sell.
On the topic of PVP: Are sks good at pvp? Harm touch aside (one trick pony) how viable are they on classic pvp server? Iv had some success killing other players when they were on low health sitting down but that goes back to HT... not counting HT how good are they at end game? My biggest problem right now is fighting classes that blind. Nothing sucks worse than being a meele toon and getting chain blinded to a black screen and slowly die not being able to fight back. Anyway to counter this other than having friends / high Magic resist?
Thanks for your resposnes, though the SK is a bitch i feel somewhat compelled to grind it out and get him up, the class is fun (when im not lying in the dirt) and very intersting. Any tips would be much appreciated, like I said earlier I played luclin/velious and I know classic is ALOT diff, so there is probably descripencies between the way I remember it on LIVE and the way it is on this box.
