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..
