Warriors are useless in 90% of the games content

[Soothsayer]

At least warriors are viable at level 60. I remember having a blast on my warrior when Green first launched, and then I hit 50 and realized I was literally just a sub-par melee DPS that almost never got to tank cool stuff. I spent so much time gathering the annoying list of clickies and consumables that they required, and for all that effort, I occasionally got a pity offtank spot or a rare chance to tank Phinny every once in a great while. Raiding with Kingdom at level 50 as warrior was definitely the nadir of my EQ experience. It sucked. I eventually stopped playing... didn't really have the energy to reroll after so much time and effort on my warrior.

If a new server happens, I'm 100% rolling SK and never looking back. Probably gonna be an Erudite for maximum style and coolness points, too. For posterity, I do NOT recommend playing a warrior for any reason in pre-Kunark EQ. They're straight up trash.

I'm not sure if you made this post knowing that SKs are arguably the least favored velious raid class under the current rule set and metas, if so *sensible chuckle*, if not, consider this fair warning.

Given the length of time Green spent in classic, I would definitely still make a knight class even knowing that they’re eventually overshadowed for raid content, even if I were a hardcore raider. To me, making class decisions based on how viable you will eventually be years down the line is weird. Many people will put the game down for months / years due to burnout and boredom long before expansions even release.
