Hey guys . I've finally got ahold of EQ titanium, been wanting to come check out p99 ever since I started playing EQ TLP's. I recently quit playing on angarr when I was finally able to get ahold of eq titanium . I always have played a cleric or warrior as my main . I really love playing the warrior, but figured I should start with cleric to build up some pp to gear out my warrior. So I rolled a halfling cleric because I like the hide / sneak feature later on for xp grps and such . So I played for 3 hours last night ,and still lvl 1 . I die to every 2nd or 3rd mob i try to kill, and yes I'm fighting white cons , i dont remember clerics ever being this ruff to start out . Now my question is should i of rolled the warrior first, because obviously I'm gonna need some pp and or gear to start the cleric , because i just cant deal with the 10 deaths I had in the 2 hours of trying to grind out lvl 1 .or am I gonna run into the same predicament rolling a warrior .

Classic EverQuest is hard, and it's especially hard for anyone who hasn't played it in a long time, and expects it to be like modern MMOGs (or even modern EQ).
But here's a secret: every class is a warrior at level one (except Mages/Necros; they summon level one warriors instead). What I mean by that is that at level 1 characters have almost no class-defining features. Your cleric for instance has only two spells at first: a buff that doesn't matter and a heal that's so weak it almost doesn't matter. Otherwise he acts the same as a Warrior, except with a few less AC/HP which (you guessed it) also doesn't matter.
So if you want to re-roll, great, re-roll. But the frustration you're feeling from the challenges at level one won't be fixed by re-rolling. A level one warrior will die a lot too unless you adjust ... and don't worry, you will adjust.
I say just stick with the cleric if that's what you want to play. Fight whites, bring them close (but not too close) to the guards for safety in case anything goes wrong, then after the fight sit and meditate back up all the way to 100% HP/Mana before you start the next fight. Then repeat. If there are other newbies around you can try grouping with them for added safety.
If you do that I'm sure you'll be leveling (and thus, getting to actually play a cleric) in no time.
