What classes see the biggest improvement with small investment?

[ultimatequix]

This isn't quite the question of "What class is least gear dependent?". Instead, I'm interested in what classes see the most improvement with only a small gear investment.

I'm still fairly new so I can't properly twink an alt, but have a steady enough income from porting to spend maybe 2,000pp on an alt.

Curious what everyone's thoughts are.

Slap 5k in gear on an enchanter and Norrath is your oyster. I realize the question wasn’t which class is the least gear dependent but the answer sorta is the same anyway, the enchanter does need a base amount of gear to “unlock” a lot of what makes the class great.

I figured there would be some overlap between the two questions anyways, but wasn't sure if any classes stood out more than others. Thanks for your input!

Hard to argue against a necro in my opinion. You don't have any CHA check on undead charming and can level easily in rags... some +HP/INT/mana gear should set you well on the way to decimation <3

You can get silver chitin hand wraps and a wu’s quivering staff for 2k. Fill out with looted cloth then mesh armour and pick up some cheap magic shoes then hp rings as you level up.

If you have a character that can port you could probably do some of the sol ro quests on that toon to get some nice caster twink items.

Classes that require little to no gear have the largest gains from adding gear to them.
Such as Mage/Necro, they can already do content naked. Any additions give them that much more pooled resource to work with.

Classes that benefit the least are highly gear dependent classes.
Warrior/Monk (just as examples), due to them always being in a gear progression. 5k today is not equal to 5k tomorrow on these classes. It's more like 5k today, 15k tomorrow.

My honest opinion on what to do with that 2k plat,.. Bonechips to 10, crushbone belts/greater lightstones to 15-16. Use the rest of the plat on the best weapon you can get. (presuming it's a melee alt) Otherwise save the plat for spells.
Levels are more important that gear below level 60.

I'd say monk for sure for the aforementioned reasons. Their entire class design practically IS getting the best return on the least investment.

define small. for like 5k you can make a balling highelf cler. cultural gear and +mana gear, you'll have a nice big pool if you get the right items
