What Class Should I be?
 

I am COMPLETELY new to everquest. I was wondering what would be a good class to start out with?

I don't know. I'm sitting at the character creation screen right now trying to decide.

Ahhh I dont know what to choose.

I think I'm going to start with a Barb Shaman.

Try these..

It would help to have a little bit of back ground on your game history. If you're from new age MMOs like WoW, LOTRO, SWTOR, etc I honestly think you'd find most classes on EQ boring. Most are either very automated or clicking one button every 20 seconds.

Personally, I play a bard. We're always active to the point of hysteria not to mention they are one of the more powerful classes to play.

I always advise Ranger as starting learning class. You get to learn both, melee and casting later on. Its not a terribly powerful class, but its cool in its own way ;)
I recommend Wood Elf for a race.
I would avoid evil races/classes for starters cause it will heavily impede your ability to travel to other cities until you more familiar with the game.

Alternatively, Barbarian Shaman is a nice starting option imho.

Yeah, honestly the best advice is what was linked earlier, there is a wealth of information on the forums and the wiki. I find myself reading for hours and that provides a much better gaming experience when I am online. There is so much little stuff that we take for granted that a new player will be completely lost with, and I still learn new things everyday in game from helpful people!

Like, is a shaman, heal with inner fire and not your healing spells until like your teens or something! more heal for your mana!

Amieko, what did you decide to make?

Go for enchater, best class ever for groups and can also solo.
