First off, thanks to everybody for being so helpful. It's awesome for a new guy to get this much positive feedback from a community right off the bat. Very cool!
Second, based on everything I'm reading, I'd say mage & necro are most suited to my play style (although I will be reading up more on the enchanter since everybody seems to favor it). I'm a fan of the pet classes. I have a few questions about both:
Mage:
I remember solo being pretty easy with a mage. At what level roughly will groups become a must? I'm not all about solo but it would be nice to be able to if I am only on for a short bit or something.
How passive are mages? I seem to remember a lot of send your DS'd pet in, throw a nuke or two here or there and sit/med. That the case in P99?
Necro:
How big of a deal is bad faction? I seem to remember it being a pain in the ass being evil because I always liked to travel a lot. If it's just a matter of learning the best ways to get around as an evil toon, I'm good with that. If it's more than that I'd like to know up front.
I keep hearing be an Iksar or don't bother with a necro. Is this really that big of an advantage? I really don't like the look of the Iksar, don't want to be hated absolutely everywhere (although hated in most spots may not be a huge issue depending on the answer to my above question), and just won't enjoy the experience.
Also what are the raid roles for both? From what I gather Mage is a call of the hero bot/dps, and necro is a mana battery. Sound right?
