What Class Should I be?

[Amieko]

I am COMPLETELY new to everquest. I was wondering what would be a good class to start out with?

[Naprox]

I don't know. I'm sitting at the character creation screen right now trying to decide.

[Amieko]

Ahhh I dont know what to choose.

[Naprox]

I think I'm going to start with a Barb Shaman.

It would help to have a little bit of back ground on your game history. If you're from new age MMOs like WoW, LOTRO, SWTOR, etc I honestly think you'd find most classes on EQ boring. Most are either very automated or clicking one button every 20 seconds.

Personally, I play a bard. We're always active to the point of hysteria not to mention they are one of the more powerful classes to play.

I always advise Ranger as starting learning class. You get to learn both, melee and casting later on. Its not a terribly powerful class, but its cool in its own way [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
I recommend Wood Elf for a race.
I would avoid evil races/classes for starters cause it will heavily impede your ability to travel to other cities until you more familiar with the game.

Alternatively, Barbarian Shaman is a nice starting option imho.

If your going to make a shaman make it an iksar shaman or troll for the regen

Yeah, honestly the best advice is what was linked earlier, there is a wealth of information on the forums and the wiki. I find myself reading for hours and that provides a much better gaming experience when I am online. There is so much little stuff that we take for granted that a new player will be completely lost with, and I still learn new things everyday in game from helpful people!

Like, is a shaman, heal with inner fire and not your healing spells until like your teens or something! more heal for your mana!

Amieko, what did you decide to make?
