Okay, so thanks to all of the people who've helped me understand the game's mechanics a bit more. Anyways, I've rolled my Ogre Warrior, but decided to drop him, as soloing was a complete nightmare, with him dealing 0 damage 85% of the time. Then, I went for a Gnome Necromancer, but everything would kill me so fast, and my Life Taps were always interrupted. What is a good, beginner-friendly class in this game, that can solo to some extent, but is required in groups as well? I want to be able to solo the early stages of the game, in order to level up, but I don't want soloing to be the only thing that I'm ever good at, in EverQuest. If anybody could suggest me a class, then I'd greatly appreciate it.

I tried a Gnome Necromancer, but everything would kill me so fast, and my Life Taps would get interrupted 99% of the time. Got any tips/help?

I would say dagger punch decaying skellies in the face until you can afford a pet spell?

It's not really the slowness of the first 4 levels that bothers me, but how everything has a 90% chance to kill me. I've made it a habit to always consider enemy mobs before I attack them, and I always attack the 'even fight' ones, but I still randomly deal 0 damage for, like, 85% of my attacks. All of my 4 characters died from the exact way, just an enemy mob getting a random stroke of luck, and interrupting all of spells/all my attacks dealing 0 damage. Is it always gonna be like this for any class?

Yep the big thing is to buy your first pet spell at level 1, that way you can let pet tank and take turns fighting at first. What I did was save up gold for a backpack first ( if you don't get any containers to drop), then save all your space for rusty weapons to sell which drop frequently from decaying skeletons and sell for 1-2 gold.

Get pet spell ASAP and should make your life easier. Then slowly save up and keep buying more backpacks so you can hold more gear to sell for money faster ( Cavorting Bones - http://wiki.project1999.com/Necromancer#Spells )

Now you can take turns tanking with your pet and not have to always take damage, and can cast without getting interrupted by just stepping back. Same thing once you get level 4, you will want to save up and purchase the level 4 PET FIRST (leering corpse).
