A) Make a Bard, swarm kite to level 50, gets everyone hating your guts from taking all the outdoor zone spawns, then quit when experience gets "slow" (even though it's still faster than what any other class can manage).
B) Make a Paladin, then quit at level 30 when you realize that their solo capability sucks and they won't have much of a purpose in raids even if you do level it.
C) Make a Shadow Knight, and quit at level 40 when you get bored with it because it doesn't really come into its own as a class until very high levels.
D) Make a Ranger, get laughed at nonstop for it, and quit because they solo poorly and most groups would rather go short-handed than invite you.

The above describes the life of probably the majority of hybrids on P1999. I say that as someone with a 60 SK and a 50+ Paladin.

It is funny, though. I was the tank AND puller for a mistmoore group yesterday and we did amazingly (Ranger). You can play all the classes well and be invaluable to others. People just have preconceived and oft incorrect notions about certain things/classes.

I solo quite well on my ranger, actually - group well, too. Are hybrids the best at any one thing? Well no...kinda the point of the word "hybrid" no?

Play what you have fun playing because that's really the point anyway.

A Ranger works pretty well until level 30 twinked. Then grab your ass. It is all downhill after that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Buy 4/45 rings, not 5/55 rings, spend the extra 300p on other stuff.

SK best out of non-squishy classes. If I could do it all over again, would not have rolled a Dark Elf, mostly because SK is 75% warrior 25% caster. But your spells have good agro and FD and Fear are nice.

I am going roll mine as either a DE or an Iksar. I would roll Dark Elf for two reasons. First is that Dark Elves have the coolest plate look hands down. The second reason is that I have a suit of Enchanted Tier'Dal Armor that is my warriors current suit to maximize dex. The suit is great for a warrior and even better for a SK.

The suit of armor is making it a tough choice. I can start a new one and have to gear him or start another DE and just be twinked as fuck.

I would never make a dark elf. 2 reasons,

1) I can't stand ultravision

2) they are disgustingly common everyone is a DE
