Multi-classing? EQ Legends - What to try?

[Zuranthium]

Yeah, EQ Legends is asinine and it's hurting the classic EQ brand itself. A lot of people want to play Legends to experience the classic EQ zones (I've seen tons of comments about "I haven't played EQ in decades, how nice to be able to return"), and now all of those people are going to have an incredibly warped notion of what classic EQ is supposed to be, and be very hard to transfer into a real version of classic.

Even the triple classing concept, which was initially interesting in theory, in practice has become extremely boring. Why? Because even though there are 500+ class combinations, most of them end up playing very similarly! Regardless of what combo you roll, you're likely just going to be standing there tanking, auto-attacking, and occasionally casting a damage spell or heal.

Yep. Everyone is just a melee character. Since you have to tank anyway and you don't get more mana regeneration when stacking casting classes, nor more direct physical ability when stacking melee classes, it creates a very predictable setup of picking 1 of each availability commodity:

1.) Melee
2.) Mana
3.) Bard songs (ie, casting without using mana)
