Yeah, I think this is really the best approach. If you literally just took your three favorite P99 classes and tossed them together, you'll probably end up enjoying yourself more than trying to powergame it. I mentioned ROG/BRD/CLR before as being potentially a good choice. But you could probably replace the Cleric with a Necro for more DPS and just tap for in-combat heals.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you have a primary class plus two additional classes. You can change the additional classes in any city zone, but your primary class is locked. You will be able to unlock additional primary classes with class unlock tokens. It is currently not clear how these can be obtained, but the devs said you will get one upon hitting 50 on your first character. But the point I'm getting at is that you are probably better off making your primary class something versatile that would work in a lot of trios, that way you have the option of switching it up. Bard would be a great choice. Shaman as well. Cleric would be good. Wizard would be bad. So for example, if you started as a BRD/ROG/CLR but decided you wanted to be tankier and have a pet, you could easily switch to BRD/PAL/NEC. But if you started as CLR/BRD/ROG, you'd have to switch to CLR/XXX/XXX instead. For this reason, I would not be surprised to see a huge percentage of players with Bard as their primary class. The primary class selection is also limited by your race (the secondary classes are not). So for example, if you are an Ogre, you cannot primary class as a Cleric. But you could primary as a WAR, SK, or SHM, then add whatever secondary classes you wanted. For this reason I also expect Humans to be the most popular race choice, since they have the most class options when they obtain their first primary unlock token. There are also ways to unlock races down the line though.

Wow this is all great info! Yeah, bard as primary class seems like the move for me. Is there a place to read about all of the EQL differences to regular EQ somewhere? Kinda like a wiki?
