What's the best general-purpose PLing class?

So Velious/Classic AOE group guide. Seems legit. Oh and you want Chardok AOEs?

But that was 10 months into Velious and only 2 months before Luclin release. We aren't anywhere near that in our timeline yet. Still classic?

Both Rallos and The Rathe had Chardok AE groups before revamp in mid Velious.

Generally a single group at the tunnel exit (1 Warrior, 1 Cleric, 2 Ench, 2 Wiz maybe?) and only 30ish mobs at a time. Connection and graphic cards didn't really allow for more but all the mechanics were the same.

Most groups were doing this for the drops, because Stave of Shielding and SBS were hard to get otherwise. It wasn't a power leveling thing but that was mostly from ignorance.

After Luclin, the AE groups moved to Fungus Grove and Acrylia Caverns.

Of course! It's still within our expected timeline (up to Luclin). And game mechanics / spells involved didnt change inbetween then.

Spells won't change during Velious? No upgrades?

[Daldaen]

The spells in question (DA, PBAE stun, PBAE Nukes). They don't change to last less duration, stun less or do less damage.

PS sorry for letting your thread derail Etsu.

If you want to PL 1-50 with uber gear, Druid > Cleric > Bard > Necro > Shaman > Monk > SK > Ranger/Enchanter.

If you want to PL 1-50 with EC gear, nothing 50k+ or clickies. Druid > Bard > Necro > Enchanter.

That's how it breaks down IMO. At higher levels with worse gear, Druid / Necro become pretty close I'd think. Bard begins to taper out if non AoEer.

Thanks dude. I guess I'll level my druid then!

Druid is hard to beat till like level 25 to 30. Then a Monk is better. I like a Mage high end the best. But a Bard is not shabby either. But they end up pissing the whole zone off with their pulls not that other classes don't.

I gave up PLing long time ago on here. Just too many people playing now. I am not going to Unrest or MM and pull every mob in the entrance and courtyard while some poor Enchanter is trying to learn to charm solo etc. or some SK learning how to FD pull.

WTB insta-60 server, cba leveling...would you vote yes on that?

Live almost did it, the Mayong server started everyone at L51 with 50 AAs...you had SKs in PoK not knowing how to get up from a FD. Was good times and made PoP zones fun again.
