Your opinions: class preference to each race

Hey Issar,

This thread was inspired by the original eq artwork. A always tried to guess what class went with each race. Some seem easy, others aren't so obvious. I've also yet to see a giant goblin

Yeah, I totally did that too. Keith Parkinson was an amazing artist and really put together some great pieces for EQ. He created the original box art way before the game was complete, so I'm guessing the descriptions that McQuaid and team provided were pretty lose at the time. I always figured that the two giants were actually representative of an ogre and a troll, corresponding with the Dark Elf necro that's featured in the middle. That would be them attempting to represent the light and dark factions in the game, but I could be way off.

In any event, if you enjoy the box art I would recommend checking out Keith Parkinson's work. My favorite non-EQ piece that he did is called North Watch.

Halfling. If the class cant be halfling it isnt worth playing. No one else could carry the one ring. Just sayin.

The Legolas and Frodo models didn't come out until Luclin, which isn't classic. As a result your argument is invalid.

Gonna take a swing at this! List is not optimal if you must use all races, and it doesn't per say match my own choices that I've made for toons, but here it is.

Barbarian = rogue / shaman
Dwarf = paladin / cleric
Dark elf = cleric / necromancer
Erudite = enchanter / cleric
Gnome = magician / enchanter
Halfling = druid / rogue
Half elf = bard / ranger
High elf = wizard / paladin
Iksar = necromancer / monk
Human = shadow knight / bard
Ogre = warrior / shaman
Troll = shaman / warrior
Wood elf = ranger / druid
