Really can't pick a class.

Bit of my history. In EQ from 99-04 I played a Warrior and rogue. Loved it, but too simplistic for what I want now.

I'd enjoy tanking. I rolled a paladin, but they just seem god awful, not getting any real aggro spells till 30. I know on live they're decent but it seems like they're just horrible until later expansions.

What are Shadowknights like? In demand? Decent in these early expansions? I never had much experience with them.

My other possible choice was Bard. But I seem to see a toooooooonnnn of bards and I know that can lead to a miserable time finding groups later on.

Just looking for a little wisdom in general here I guess, what's decent, what's overplayed, what will keep me able to find groups pretty regularly. 1999 was a long time ago to my old brain [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] thanks in advance.

save yourself the heartache and dont roll a hybrid for gods sake.

Play encourage super over powered and in demand

I'd recommend a Shadowknight. Great group tanks, early high aggro spells, Feign death makes you a great puller, fun class to play in general.

If gnomes could be sk's on this server, I'd roll one immediately

I think I will try the SK. I have a lot of small bronze on my Paladin over near Felwithe. So I'll make a Dark Elf so I can use it. I have a PGT for a weapon... What are some affordable starter 2h weapons I should look for? Also I do not have a guild, was wondering if I could find someone willing to assist me in transferring my bronze over. Thanks for the advice all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Go hardcore mode and roll a troll SK.

I've got a druid that could help out with moving your stuff. Send a tell to Eshen if you see him.

Yeah, sounds like SK might be right for the OP if he wants to tank but also wants to have more (cool) things to do than a warrior/rogue. SKs are godly pullers for more than just FD, too. Clicky insta-invis, IVU, hide, dots, ranged attacks, a pet, harmshield, AND feign death... wow.

I'd go Troll but the armor I have is sized for small races only. So Dark Elf it is... I like Dark Elves a lot to boot. Thanks Eshen, I'll send a tell when I get on later.

Also does anyone know of any leveling type guilds? I'd love to have a set group of people to group with, makes things so much more fun.
