Better class's when it comes to PvP in EQ?

Nothing is more pathetic than watching a mage/druid/necro heavy guild try and fight against rape trains of melee in dungeons.

Yep, absolutely. What I'm wondering is whether this hypothetical PvP server will have faster leveling. If it's the same as p99, people will commit suicide before they get a melee class to 60.

With a dathor hammer (was it maybe a luclin item tho?)

Dathor hammer is Luclin, and there aren't really any great 2h weapons until epic/Velious. That'll be the biggest issue.

I played a warrior on VZ, it's fun when you have the gear but early on you have to rely a lot on pumice and jboots to do anything of value. With a dathor hammer (was it maybe a luclin item tho?), AoN and cobalt bracer and bp you can do very well. Some of the best memories was backing into a corner with riposte disc and dathor hammer while getting rushed by multiple (dual wielding) melees. =)

Argent Protector, Oggok Cleaver for kunark.

Mith 2hs - Gatorsmash maul - Soul Leach - Other fear 2hers for old world.

I like pallys because of the blind spell and healing. DPS is a little low though.

Bards aren't all that in pvp. Sure you are pretty much unkillable if they want to run, but chants are low dmg and fairly easy to resist. You certainly aren't killing anyone with melee. And when a fear or mez sticks you are toast.

I've never really PvPed in EQ because it just seemed like it would be so completely unbalanced and not very competitive. However with all this talk lately about the PvP server, I think I might give it a shot.

I was wondering though, what are some of the better class's that would be wanted on a PvP focused EQ server? Would it end up being just a bunch of Wizards? Or class's like Druid's that have Snare and Root for CC? Or would it basically be the same as any EQ server where every class is viable in PvP?

Every class has value in pvp. You have to be smart and maximize your classes potential. If your a melee class, don't try to fight a caster in the open, lure them into indoors where they can't run around and where you can run out of LoS.

Everyone tries to balance everquest for solo pvp. In group pvp, every class has worth... even rangers.
