Most under-played class on R99?

[Torval]

Hey there R99 community,

I'm an old Tallon Zek gamer, that was recently reminiscing about my EQ days on the old faction pvp servers, and I found this.

As I'm waiting for my copy of Titanium, I was just curious about the "most demanded" or "most underplayed" class on the server at the moment.. I'm open to suggestions, and will play almost anything to A) establish myself on the server and B) get some cash and loots with which I can play alts of things I actually really enjoyed playing back in the day.

I don't see much about class population imbalances on the forums.. but I'm sure they're out there. What classes are most sought after at the moment? I welcome answers from anything low-mid-high end game, as I'll soon be progressing through them anyway.


ps: i don't need class mechanics explained, as I've play almost all classes to 30+ back in my EQ days. Just an estimation of class populations.

do yourself a favor and play a caster. i suggest wizard

de wiz was my main before.. hah, are there really so few? Kinda rough until they get the "lure" spells, anyway.

[KefkaPalazzo]

wouldnt say rare just sayin there is a reason why there is only one active ranger, maybe 2 on the server. same goes for paladins. if you wanna be a novelty and hate your life play paladin. if you wanna pvp and enjoy the server play caster.

[Torval]

Ok, well thinks for the advice. I deffo will consider it. I suppose there is an abundance of mages/necros?

As for there being only 1 active ranger.. That will probably be the case until after velious. What's up with the other tank classes? Pallies the only lacking? And SK's?

dont worry about lure spells. resists are so fucked up here that everything always lands, even blinds, whirls and shit

[Cwall]

yeah play anything with root and you'll be set

[Torval]

Alright see you guys are basically telling me to forget group-play while leveling?

Secondly, paladins and rangers got root as well, right? Rangers had snares for sure.

[bamzal]

yes to all of the above

I went with the hardest class to play...rogue. Is that smart? I'm not sure, but I like the challenge.

[Humerox]

If you're twinked. If not, you're not going anywhere with that rogue for a while.

[Sloth]

bring on the challenge

[Cwall]

but you are twinked

[Sloth]

sort of. The only thing that matter to a twink rogue is weapons. I'm buying rogue weaps btw

[Humerox]

weapons and regen.

i go afk at bind all the time because i dont care cwall , and im not sorath

sorath was funny tho , i miss him

[Gustoo]

Roll an iksar necro, level up fast once u get past like crappy level 12. Otherwise u will have unhappiness and displeasure.

Rogues are probably the least played class because they are just about the worst possible solo class. There are like 2 active 50+ rogues.

But really dont try to be one. Seriously. It would be faster to grind a good character to level 60, pharm items for rogue, and then twink him to the max, and then level him to 60 than it would be to solo 1 rogue to 50. Pretty much.

rogue or paladin are probably the two least played classes right now - afaik it's only ender & brennard on rogue, and arzak on paladin

that being said, you will not be grouping on this server until 50+, so you should really make your class choice with that in mind

only one of those was possibly an "afk" kill

afk people don't zonedance and say things before they die
