Ol' eq vet playing blue, Rolling red?

[Sasquatchsquad]

Hey, first post on these forums, although I have been playing on p99 for about a month now over on blue server. I am OG Rallos Zek player who started in 2000, and played for prolly 4ish years on Zek after merger. My main was a Halfling Druid named Moogaman, if any of you remember me.

Introductions aside, I was just looking for general input on a class to role on red. I'm assuming a solo class would be my best choice due to low pop. making it difficult to find groups sometimes. Also what is the Red server lacking class wise?

Any input appreciated, cheers!

make a rogue and will help you out.

[Sasquatchsquad]

Does that mean you personally will help me out if I roll a rogue lol?

[Num1RecommendedByDentists]

make a mage/wizard/rogue and thank me later

earth/epic pet root/stun lands all the time, regardless of your MR

targeted AoE spells such as rains and wizard pillar line have no range check at the end of cast

nukes are pretty much never partial'd unless their respective resist is 150ish+, impossible for nukes to be 100% resisted

rogue backstab is insane here, not uncommon to see double 1100s with epic and duelist

rogue poisons land way more than they should, including the blind poisons that last several minutes

skean proc lands almost every time unless they have 120+ poison resist and it lasts 18 seconds every time

tl;dr resist code and ruleset is basically nothing like live

interesting reads here

druid is the easiest to solo up. good all around, able to quad, and got ports.

there is a newb guild trying to get new players and form groups, but I imagine it's still hard to find ppl your level and actually get to them.

you can manage to solo on most classes with spells if you find the right way to play them. server doesnt have many enchanters, pallies, necros, bards (who actually play at the high end), rangers, or warriors.

Clerics and chanters are the most loved on the box, not that good in pvp, above classes best.

Sham necro viable tho just like on live. No pallies

[mostbitter]

necro pretty awful here actually

[runlvlzero]

Yeah I have heard necros complain, never took it seriously though.
