Pick my class for me please.

Enchanter is a lot harder now without the pet window.

Rangers got a significant buff and are, arguably, the most fun class to play in the game besides maybe monk.

Will that buff be represented on day one of green? or is it something that will come significantly later?

I would love to write a big long essay about how versatile and powerful and subtle clerics are.

You write it, I'll read it.

Secondly, you absolutely did not play your bard right. If you want to get hooked on bard, play one in a group. Look on the forums for how to play bards in groups. They make amazing pullers, too. They can also solo very scary outdoor mobs by fear-kiting or utilizing charm.

Oh sure. I know I wasn't a good bard. But I was following a guide that said "Go kill Wisps in NK and you can level in one pull" but what actually happened was I rounded up all of the wisps, ran around in a circle trying to find the sweet spot where i was DoTting them but they weren't hitting me and it was either, no DoT tick, or a marginal adjustment to lessen the circle and they would stunlock me to death instantly. After dying that way 3-4 times, losing a whole level, and having to run back from Qey to NK each time, I decided I didn't enjoy the class.

It's hard to map a page of hotbar to pet commands? What other macros do you need while charming?

/pet health
/pet attack
/pet back off
/pet sit
etc
You can even wrap the health one into the other macros so that it doesn't need it's own, if you are really pressed.

Anyway, to OP, If you want to solo, do not play any melee. A SK on blue can solo for sure. Most melees can solo a bit with velious weapons. But the weapons on vanilla will be garbage, and casters will be the only ones soloing (exception maybe monk)

You think that's bad-- if you were playing the correct client for velious you wouldn't be able to mouse look around corners and so forth. That's a perk that is actually unbalancing.

Hey you fuckos. Take your pet window bullshit outta here. This thread is about choosing my class for me.

No, but if it were, it wouldn't be false. Rangers do not deserve the bad rep. Those who know, know. Any fool can play most classes, but some take skill and perseverance. When I see a 60 cleric or rogue or monk, I yawn. When I see a 60 ranger or pallie or SK, I'm impressed.

Can you solo? I mean... you’re tempting me.

If you are dead set on only soloing then be warned it will be a tough road and you'll need good gear. Like any melee except monk, soloing gets tough. If you have patience you can solo a Ranger with arrow kiting and so forth. If you really want to just solo then it's not a good pick. Bard/Druid/Enchanter/Necro/MOnk are all a much better pick for that scenario.
