I need class help

[Felicity]

I’m not a brand new or returning player but I am new in the since the have nothing above lvl 20.

That being said I’m having trouble finding the right fit for me the right class for my desires needs and play style as well as times I play.

It’s not so much about not liking certain classes as much as certain roles or expectations of the class or classes.

I have one of every class ranging in levels from 5-20 due to trying to find the right fit but I haven’t done so yet merely because in my opinions the games not made for some one like me. I also don’t have plat to equip a char to do well and I play at odd hours usually no ones around because they are asleep so no groups to be had means no xp for me and I just log off or make a new char you could say I’m a casual non elite player

I know people say necro and mag can solo but when and where? I die on them both still in teen levels and can’t progress without a group.

I love the game can’t seem to get away from it but at same time am fed up frustrated even a little nerd rage. So if I can’t find something I can enjoy and progress with then I may be just rage quiting sadly b cause I’m tired of fighting to play a game I love that seems to hate me

So my list of what I desire need or am looking for

Durable sturdy not squishy
Doesn’t die super fast or easy from dark blues
Doesn’t have to pull
Doesn’t have to heal
Can solo at least to a point grouping is possible or when no one is around at odd hours
Is desired in groups
Has possible spell or ability for oh crap moments
Works well with others duo or group situations
Possibly has a heal for self or others
Doesn’t kite
Is dps as that’s what I enjoy most

I’m up for any and all suggestions help info in game or here. This is my last hope

I play at odd hours am casual non elite or hardcore I do play daily but when I play no ones usually around for groups I favor dps melee but can do caster tooI want in a class

Durable sturdy not squishy doesn’t die super fast or easy to dark blues
Doesn’t have to heal pull or kite
Is dps or can dps
Has both group desirability and solo capabilities
Has possible self healing to stay alive
Has possible skill spell ability for those emergency moments when things go bad

My characters range from level 5-20 I’ve literally tried everything.

Reading this, it sounds like Necro would be a good fit.

Necro isn't all about fear kiting either if you don't like that.

You can root rot or charm with them too. I mostly root rotted with my Necro.

Necros get lich spells - essentially super powered Clarity.

Necros get Feign Death - arguably best spell/ability for 'oh crap' moments.

Necros get Levant - a great way to self teleport around zones.

Necros are some of the most efficient soloers in the game.

Necros are still desired in groups, thanks to steady pet damage, mana twitch, DPS, and backup healing - a necro using all his tools will impress a group.

Necros are great duo partners with a number of classes. You can even duo with a Rogue. That's impressive.

Another recommendation would be Shaman, fits your needs as well.

Well I’m 10 on my iksar necro and having difficulties leveling solo idk what to do I keep firing in Kurt’s and fioeld of bone as for shaman what do they get that fits me as I do not wish to heal in groups.

Sounds like you want a class that doesn't exist.

Shaman meet everything except "Is dps as that’s what I enjoy most". Monks and Rangers meet everything except "Doesn’t have to pull" (although both are very slow soloers without twinking. Also Rangers aren't exactly the most "desired in groups". Necros are squishy and die super fast or easy from dark blues", as do Druids. Bards are only sort of DPS, and don't kite.

I think you're going to have to shorten your list of requirements to find a class that matches it. Alternatively you could go play on Secret's new class-less server and have a character which actually meets all of the above.

That’s what I was afraid of ugh

A Necromancer isn't a Necromancer at level 10. You start getting some key spells at 12, but even then you don't get stuff like Feign Death until later. If you want to try a class out you really need to take it to at least 16 or 20 (for an int caster at least).

A lot of the classes I listed were very close to meeting your requirements. If you can just make peace with ditching one requirement you should be able to find a class that you like.

A Necro doesn't really start to shine until a little later.

For example, on a Necro I wouldn't fear kite until you get your new snare dot at level 12.

At 16, you get Hungering Earth and can root rot in Kurn's Tower pretty reliably. You'll have to re-root during a fight, but it has a cheap mana cost.

I can give you pointers about Necro'ing if you want.

[Stroboo]

priest classes absolutely stink until 19, caster class stink until 20, melee classes you need gear for...if you like the game you can find a spot, you just gotta stick with something...

[elwing]

Sk without doubt looking at your requirements, through pull will sometime be asked...

Don't trust the "you need gear for melee" a set of banded and a 50p ec weapon will carry over 20 on any melee...
