What class should I play?

[Scavrefamn]

Sk is indeed the best exp tank.

[Anesthia]

I'm set on HE. Thanks for the alternatives. I'll think about whether necro would be better than enchanter for an alt.

Thanks for the offer on the Ghoulbane, Zuranthium; I'll take you up on it some time! For now I need to find a good 1h/2h and some armor. Shahryar (if I remember his name correctly) bound me at west fp and gave me 400pp last night (wow!!!). I'm reading that shieldstorm/skyfire and some banded/bronze would be best right now. Is that right?

[Phased]

Shieldstorm is too slow. Nathsar Greatsword will serve you well because you're damage capped and it has a quick delay. You can pick it up for 200-300pp.

Everyone is suggesting Monk for a first timer, but I don't really get it. How is a newbie monk with no funds supposed to be able to scrounge coin and loot from monsters and save up money without going over the 14-stone weight cap?

Or is the penalty largely irrelevent?

[Flunklesnarkin]

you still haven't made up your mind lol


you've been trying to decide for months


just play a bunch of different ones and you will eventually figure out what you hate and what you like

[Flash]

Me? No, I stopped doing that. I was making an argument from a selective standpoint. A lot of people in here are recommending a Monk for an unfunded newbie, and with the penalty on being over 14 stones, I'm wondering how most Monks make any decent money in the early levels. How do they loot coin and weapons without giving up their AC?

Unless you're a power gamer, you're doing yourself a disservice by trying to play other classes except the one you'd really prefer.

Saying "I'll play a druid so I can make money then i'll play the class I want" only works if you plan to play for many hours a day.

If you're not gonna play a ton - you're costing yourself enjoyment by leveling another character before that. Screw what everyone else thinks - analyze the classes, choose one, and go.

You get a mage to summon you weight reduction bags and then leave corpses from /dueling people. Ghetto tinkerer bags!

Just remember to take loot out of summoned bags before you camp. Poof, gone.
