Ogre/Troll advice

[Kron]

I really want to try making a big bulky race since I never played one and always thought they looked funny.

I'm in no rush to max lvl and might only try rushing to 35 to get guise before it's gone. My dilemma is choosing the class to play.

What do you guys suggest from the 3 classes they have available.

- Warrior

- Shaman

- Shadow Knight


I currently main a Necro and his slowly grinding from 45-50 so this alt will be to take small breaks from the grind.

Warrior would be your biggest necro deviation.

I thought a warrior might be nice alt I could buy/farm him some gear.

Not sure if something like an executioners axe is good for leveling since I never played a warrior.


I'm honestly leaning more towards the War or Sham since SK seems like a melee Necro.

Shadow knights using the same spell set might bore you. Shamans of course are priesty types but use some similar strategies to your necro. Warrior is just a whole different ball game of being an Indiana Jones treasure collector killing machine group and raid guy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Avoid the Warrior class at all costs unless you're some sort of masochist.

Everquest's Warrior class is one of the least friendly and most boring ever. Anything the Warrior can tank, the Shadow Knight or the Paladin can tank much better. Their DPS is subpar unless they're twinked up the ass.

In Classic they're a completely crippled class that's almost worthless. You'll spend 100% of your time living in groups and even then you're be a paraplegic burden who's mediocre at everything and has 0 things to do other than auto attacking.

When Velious drops they get some abilities post-60 that will make them better raid tanks than Paladins or Shadow Knights but all the way 1-59 you will suffer. You should only ever be consider one if you're sure you're gonna neckbeard for years taking it to level 60, over-gearing it and only doing raids.

Shadow Knight is fun but the XP penalty is crippling and the playstyle too similar to Necromancer.

Shaman is really fun. You get to heal, you get the best melee buffs in the game, free SoW from level 9 and a dog pet at level 34. DoTs are similar to Necro but that's about it.

When Kunark/Velious hits and you're max level... as a SK/paladin your role is basically one of a trash tank on raiding, warriors end up with the glory of tanking gods ^^
