Looking for some class advice :)

What ever you do, don't make a Half Elf Warrior. Worst choice EVAH!

I tank on my ranger and I'm not a mana drain.

And your not the damn Cleric that has to heal you sorry ass either lol. You can't really believe what you wrote is really true unless you are level 10. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I do believe it is true, I haven't had anyone run under 50% much less run oom unless there is a bad pull.

But warriors have no agro control (of course that means the rest of the group has to control theirs). That's why pally/SK make a good choice for non-raid situations.

After the hybrid XP pen drop or before? Because before your going to really feel the crunch of that XP pen + gear dependent classic EQ punch in the face. I would, like others said, lean toward a semi ok solo class first.

This is also good advice. That experience penalty can definitely be felt as early as the teen levels if you are soloing. In a group setting, its not really a big deal, although it may be discouraging to see your friends/group members leveling faster than you.

Then again, if you are not in a race to 60, enjoy the class you most want to play.

I was thinking about now, wasn't too worried about Velious as its only 5 or 6 weeks away from the home page on here?

I like Berserkers the best hands down. Those big number crits are just the bestest lol. But a warrior maybe the next best thing? I'm just torn lol.

Rangers seem to have quite a bit of utility also and I haven't seen alot of them just yet but again I have only played 8 hrs or so.

Hi y'all, been awhile since I have played some EQ (started with Kunark and finished just after PoP or so). Anyways I am looking for some advice to start a main on.

I usually play a melee dps or tank class. I was leaning towards SK, Paly, Rogue, or Ranger but I am open to suggestions. Warriors would be fun as well, I just don't remember how hard it will be to get groups on P99.

Any input is greatly appreciated!

If you plan to group a lot, then all of the above work well.

If you plan to raid, then Rogue, Ranger, and Warrior are all very much needed in Velious. SK and Pally become off-tanks / off-dps, but still have their uses.

If you plan to solo, then SK and Ranger are best here. Pally can solo undead reasonably well. Warrior requires some decent twinking, and will have long downtime. Rogue is the same.

Hope this helps.

Well said. Good advise.
