Old SZ playing going to try Red99

Cyrex · #1 02-13-2013, 02:31 PM

Hey guys,

Thought i'd drop in and say hello. Going to play on red99 probably pretty casual but who knows. Have not decided on what class im going with and any advice would help. So far i was thinking Bard (solo ability) or monk. I'd consider any of the melee classes, even a ranger. Any tips starting out?

Cheers

Depends how many of you/how active each member of the crew turns out to be.

Send tells in game for consultation and ports/binds.

Well, looks like its going to be mainly just me so a solo friendly class is essential. That's why i was thinking Bard for mobility and soloing. I prefer to play a melee class, maybe not a SK because i'm not sure i could handle the huge exp penalty.

Wizards, hmmm that could work too. Anyway i won't be able to play until around 7 pm EST tonight. Guess i'll do some readying and try to figure out what to play.

Cheers guys

You can have fun with all casters. Enchanters are obviously really powerful as far as PvE goes and it's a toss up in PvP. They can be real easy targets and if played against right it will be a challenge for you being the Enchanter 1v1. A lot more people on this box use things like crimson pots that you didn't see on live much.

People say wizards are overpowered right now because resists aren't the same as classic. People beef up on MR because you need so much so there really isn't much room for the amount of FR and CR you need to shield you from wizard DD. Partial resists aren't up to par here. Melee also have a tough time hitting people not on the same plane, so if you are levitating you have an advantage over melee.

That could be a big deal...
