Returning Beastlord, unsure what to roll?
Hi all
An ex Beastlord from Stromm back to relive the old days! I've been lurking on the forums and watched a few streams/YouTube vids trying to decide what to play but decided to post and ask some Q's. I'm on holiday for another week but will start to play once I'm back, but my main Q is that I used to be a bst, but can't play one in P99. What should I play now? I don't know enough about P99 yet to know if there are lots of groups around or if I'll have to solo etc so that could impact the decision. I made a necro on the progression server years ago and got to 51, but not sure i wanna go nec again. I like monks and played one to 53 before rolling my bst, way back when, but it would be hard from scratch if there's not much grouping in P99. My other thoughts are druid/sham/chanter. I like pets and all of these classes can charm to get me one. Anyways I'm rambling, but any suggestions for an old Beastlord on what to play, instead of me making 6 diff chars and taking them to 15-20 and then deciding. Also if anyone from Stromm/Inverse Logic play here now that remember me, pm and say hello!!

Forgot to mention, I'm not interested in mages, despite them being regarded as the pet class!

Druid's a safe bet, because if you don't end up liking the playstyle it gives you a port whore alt whenever you're waiting for something on your main (camp to open up, friend to log on, etc.).
Beyond that safe (but probably less enjoyable) choice, enchanter seems to be the most powerful pet class in p99. Go DE chanter with all points in charisma. | ||

Druid has solo capability, finds groups a lot more easier 1-50 then would 50-60 [All though mobs fleeing in dungeons has opened up druids getting invited for there Ensnare].
More importantly, if you decide on an alt or a new main after druid, that druid can farm a lot of gear to either sell for plat to buy or straight put on alt. | ||

Welcome.
There is a decent amount of grouping going on, pretty much in every level range maybe a little tougher in the high 20's low 30s low 40s...its been a while but i know people still group. youll see a lot of posts about stupid squabbling in low level zones and powerlevelers but its nothing to get too discouraged over. as far as class id say monk if you like to melee like your bst, if you really like pets obviously necro because mages are one trick ponies. just depends if you want to dps or heal or solo really.

Maybe I'm biased (with a Shaman as my main), but ...
* Beastlords were a Monk/Shaman hybrid, so if you don't want to play Monk then Shaman would seem like the next logical choice * Shaman are the only class out of the ones you listed with a summonable and controllable pet (Druids and Enchanters can both charm pets, and Enchanters get a non-controllable summonable pet) * Shaman are awesome in the Project 1999 era (and, especially at the higher levels, are awesome soloers) | ||

nothing in p99 is going to match how OP beastlords were on live.
best pets, great buffs/heals, good personal dps etc etc. it would be easier to focus on a niche, healing/tanking/dps and picking a class that way than trying to find one that reminds you of bst imo
