Uthgard (DAOC)

[Scrooge]

Well, if you are planning to play a caster in DAOC, there are some things you should know. Unlike EQ, you cannot "channel" spells through being hit, there are ways around it though, like the Quick-Cast ability which all casters receive at level 5, as well as some RA (AA) abilities you can get through PVP. This is one of the reasons why playing a caster in DAOC can be much harder than EQ, but at the same time more rewarding in PVP, especially if you know what you're doing.

DAOC has its own special abilities for every class, some shared some unique, much like the AA system of EQ, but the points in DAOC can only be obtained through PVP exclusively.

If we can get atleast 4+ people interested in playing together, we can build a very nice group. I'm not a fan of "setup groups", I'd much rather prefer people play what they want to play, but my suggestion would be to start with a melee based group to get the grasp of the game (and the server), atleast for the first PVP tour.

Here are some decent sites which explain what the Midgard classes are all about:

List of Midgard Classes - Allakhazam

Claasses of Camelot - Old School site with various types of info, useful especially for its Realm Ability (DAOC AA) Calculator Tool

Character Builder - This here is a tool which allows you to see what abilities (spells/styles) you can achieve with different specs at different levels
