Default After my rogue hits 60 (alt suggestions)

So my main is 59 and a few yellows from 60. I have been contemplating an alt to get into once I ding and wanted some input.

First of all I'll probably app rogue to a raiding guild once I ding. So I'll still mostly be focusing on my main but when I'm not doing that I wanted to create my first real alt. I'm not sure what class though. I want it to be a different role than rogue so I can mix up play styles. Some classes im considering;

Iksar Shadow Knight - I'd be able to tank which is different from rogue but with CoS and FD the mobility of the class would still be good (something I've grown to like playing rogue ) plus I get greenmist quest available to me. The con I see is that iksar and sk spells don't really thrill me. Outside of being a tank with the ability to get around the class kinda seems bland to me.

Gnome or Human Magician - The role of this class is kinda similar to rogue in that its a dps class but it's not melee and some of the utility looks fun. I also love pet classes but am burnt out on enchanter (played one on live for years) plus the magician epic quest looks fun. I'm just worried I may get bored with the class but its solo ability looks good for an alt class. They also don't seem as popular as some of the other robed classes and that has slight appeal. No root spell is a huge down to me though.

The main thing is I want the new alt to be different enough from my main but still be enjoyable to play solo if I need. Am I missing a class that could fit the profile? Any suggestions are welcome.

I had a a similar dilemma as you when my Monk hit 60. I ended up making a Bard and then a Necro...I still have all 3 characters...Bard is 52 and Necro is 48

Bards are actually great tanks as long as you are fighting level appropriate stuff - I ended up tanking more often than not, after 50 tanking starts to become more difficult.

Necro is also really fun. I feel like Necros get looked over as a great DPS class on P99 for some reason. Plus they have some great utility in twitching mana and healing (can dispell yourself of recourse for essential free heal spells)

I would recommend either Bard or Necro, I am glad that I have both...

if you have a sh!t load of money and can afford to uber twink a monk...that would be a ton of fun to have all the great stuff right off the bat (COF/Fungi/Tstaff)

As a 60 rogue main, I went with an enchanter as my alt. I liked the soloing/different grouping mechanics that an enchanter offered in lieu of rogue.

Plus enchanters are pretty not fun to play on raids and can become quickly redundant. This way I have a toon that can be parked at a target and still have a super fun and capable character to play in the meantime.

Once your Rogue is 60, if there's nothing going on you're going to want to hop on an alt and be able to solo. For that reason I strongly suggest Shaman, Druid, or any of the int casters and losing the SK idea.

If I made sk I'd have fungi so I imagined I'd be able to solo up to 50 at least.

You don't need root if you're on blue, you can insta click it from cheep rechargeable nets.

I'd make that Mage a DE tho cus looks.

But on that note try red... You can Afk camp stuff with audio triggers while you raid on blue [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Right, but once you reach that level now you just have two characters that can't really farm anything solo and generally have to rely on groups in order to play EQ.
