ok so mage top the list and then ench (inc some mystery tactic). Adding monk to list.

1. Mage
2. Ench
3. Nec
4. Druid
5. Sham
6. Monk

Anyone dissagree?

Having played a shaman in classic, it is really quite a slog until 34. Root rotting isn't all that great, and there's no PWC to help you melee. Not to mention you actually need some amount of gear to do things, which the casters can mostly ignore.

As for monk, I guess you can avoid worrying about gear as much as the other melees and have FD to save some dirt naps, but you will likely be over the AC penalty since you'll need to make money and will have to loot. With no twink gear and the 20% exp penalty, it's just not gonna be great.

Without knowing about this Enchanter exploit, for outdoor solo only, I'd say it's more like

1. Mage
2. Druid
3. Ench (tie)
3. Necro (tie)
5. Bard
6. Shaman
7. Wiz
8. Everything else


I have Druid really high, because the porting / Sow will save a ton of time on a fresh server, not to mention Harmony and charm kiting animals. Honestly, a Druid will likely be much faster than a Mage that doesn't know what they are doing.

Ench kinda needs gear (CHA), where as the Necro and mage don't. It also requires you know what you are doing and involves a fair amount of risk. The best enchanters will likely be fine, but those who leveled theirs with twink CHA gear and pocket clicky clerics may not know what they're in for.

Necro can root rot, charm kite, pet tank, fear kite, and has FD to avoid dirt naps. I'm no expert but seems pretty strong.

Bard is actually still fine. AoE'ing 4 things at a time isn't bad when everyone else is using tarnished short swords. Eventually, you can just charm kite as usual or try some tab target swarm kiting. Not to mention Selo's and all the utility songs are also great for getting around. Getting through the early levels with the exp penalty is probably the biggest challenge. The best bards may surprise you on how fast they level.

Shaman isn't the worst, but pretty rough with no gear 1-34. I'm imagining mostly root rotting and chain nuking.

Wizard might actually be higher than shaman, but I'm no expert. The early levels don't seem great, but ports help on the mobility front and quad kiting is pretty fast 34+ from what I understand. Maybe you can get JBoots before that and start earlier.

After that, I guess it's Cleric then Monk or maybe Shadow Knight (the penalty is so rough solo though). Paladin and Ranger seem awash to me, but maybe there's some Ranger bow strats that can work (costs money though). Lastly, Warrior then Rogue as the caboose.

Now if you open up duos and grouping, I think that changes it up a bit. Notably, I think Cleric would crack the top 5, given the duo-ability with Enchanters (and other classes with charm strats) and the strong group and raid desirability. Wizards, Shamans and Enchanters get similar bumps, since their early levels become less painful. Obviously, the raiders will be pushing Cleric, Warrior, and Rogue through as fast as possible as well.

You goof balls.

On real pop server you aren't going to be able to pick your primo camps for soloing so your prolly gonna /beg to group so you can all benefit from the mob throughput.

Green is a chance to roll a toon the way you actually want to and journey up to max level old-school style. It's going to be group city and no enchy or mage is goin to be able to solo anywhere besides non exp platinum farming spots like cyclopses for a long time.

Choose the class u wanna be. first to 50 will be the guy who sleeps least.

Bard is still at the top of the list

This is likely true.

Remember everyone, you share your account information at your own risk. If someone does something stupid with your account and it gets banned. The staff won't unban it just because it wasn't the original owner who did the stupid thing.

So multiple guys who sleep a little.

It's more likely to be a raid guild.
they'll all team up to level up the classes they need to raid targets asap.

I know a few guilds on blue have guild toons, clerics, rogues etc. that they let the guild use on raids.
Just imagine when green dumps into blue how many guild toons will be on blue then. jeez

TMO was notorious for parking level 60 guild toons at raid entrances in their prime. So when a target popped a bunch of people would just log into that parked 60 raid toon and they'd get targets fastest.

Lol a bunch of duped 60s ain't gonna do anything to blue in 5 years from now.

Smart palz will PL a PL class to help themselves out

Which class would you say will require the least amount of hours to get to 50? Solo and outdoors only (asuming dungeons will be packed with groups leaving no mobs for solo play). And no bard swarming.

1. Ench
2. Necro
3. Mage
4. Druid
5. Shaman

?

Necro is probably fastest for most people.
