What class to role.. I know another one

[bobbylama]

Hi all,

First time project 1999 member, still downloading eq and hoping to play tonight. Most likely going to play on the blue server.

Anyways thinking of what I should role. I played a wood elf druid(54) and a wood elf ranger(51), human mage (38) on tallon zek back in the day, but now I am leaning towards playing a bard or necro.

Any suggestions on professions? I was thinking blacksmith with my bard, but are their other professions that might pair better?

Any suggestions to help ease me back in? Any old forum posts people go recommend I read up on?

I would prefer to play something that would be good in a group, but don't want to struggle too much with leveling solo.. I read posts about sticklers with hybrid classes, is that really the case?

Appreciate any help.
