What class to pick for newbs?

[Kubaton]

I agree with the above accept there are some missing points..

Yes, rogues can deal the damage - BUT be prepared to earn it. Rogues are very hard to lvlup. They are completely group dependant from lvl10+ (IF they're not twinked) They cannot take a hit for shit - it is similar to being a wiz with a dagger and no spells. It isnt until 25+ that they begin to deal some damage, but again it comes at a cost - learn how to control that damage or you wont do any at all (you'll be dead or royally piss off your healer)

For a complete newb I would suggest a different class to be honest..

Druids, Necro, Shaman.... In that order...

Druids = solo 100% + not so much gear dependant as other classes + portals + SoW

Necro = solo 100% (kings like druids) + great pet dmg .. Pure damage solo class. Can solo anything if you know how.

Sham = they can solo but it takes more playing skill than a dru/nec - gota be more skilled and manage your hp/mana more than the others + great buffs for groups - always wanted and never out of mana =).



no one mention a mage please... mages become a major pain in the ass in kunark.. Some of your spells are going to cost you 10-20k each... They cannot solo as well as the classes I listed, not even close..

Shamans and Necromancers take skill to master, but their power does make them newb friendly. Keeping track of many DoTs at once while rooting/mezzing and controlling a pet can get overwhelming on 4 mob fights.

Yeah Mages are great soloers but their utility toolbox is smaller than the other classes you listed, which means the other guys can take on some pretty heavy stuff if they are good players.

Pretty sure Necros and Rogues out DPS mages as well. On short fights a mage's burst is higher but over time a Necros DPS skyrockets.
