Let me revise what I was saying people are getting the wrong idea, and that's my fault for being vague. What's the best class to start untwinked? That's what I'm really trying to ask.

Well, for the most part people hit the nail right on the head. Any caster is non-gear dependent, as gear will only affect your longevity (and at higher levels, your mana regen if you have any FT items). Monks are also non-gear dependent, as their fists and cloth armor are all they need.

But I think a lot of what was already said stands, Druid, Mage, Necro, Monk are all non-gear dependent and solo well to varying degrees.

Edit: My previous post was a wall of text? Jesus, your standards are low, whomever that is. 0.o

Out of those options, if you really want "easiest", then be an Iksar Monk.

yeah this is why everyone thinks you're an idiot. You proclaim deep understanding of EQ, but your pronouncments are specious. To play a monk at all well you need to be able to FD pull, which is one of the few areas of EQ where it can reasonably be claimed that skill is required. You certainly need an understanding of game mechanics and knowledge of dungeon layouts.

No, the reason I revised that is because your post was so accurate to what I was asking, as where everyone else thought I meant easy mode.

Everyone doesn't think I'm an idiot, mainly only people who can't understand the topic of discussion at hand think that. Which definitely includes you in this case.

The poster asked what was the easiest class to START as. FD pulling is not something that is required to level a Monk up. It's expected that he'll, you know, learn and get better at the game as he plays it and by the time he's a higher level Monk he'll know how to FD pull in dungeons.

In terms of starting the game, out of the classes he asked about in the original post, Iksar Monk is the easiest out of those choices for the reasons I've talked about. They are going to be at least as good at soloing as Shaman earlier in the game (probably better), they are wanted in groups, and they are less complicated to play than managing Shaman spells.

Well "best" and "easiest" are two different things. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It depends on how you want to play the game eventually if we're getting into "best".

But for "easiest" it's Necromancer, Magician, or Druid. Probably Iksar Necromancer if I had to specifically pick just one. Necromancers are amazing at soloing and will die less than a Magician because of the various tools they have, and starting as an Iksar gives you all the hunting areas you need within walking distance of your starting city.

Maybe if you didn't come off as such an asshole in your posts bro people wouldn't be shitting all over you. That and you probably shouldn't introduce yourself to a new community as a guru and certified expert.

You can't really solo very well with a monk. Fist start out as 4/36 weapon = fail. And a 40% racial penalty, no thanks. Zura = ice skating guru, not EQ guru.

[Skope]

Easy, eh?

Go necro. May not be the "easiest" if played well, but there's an endless bag of tricks and you will always have the option of soloing to 60 with relative ease. They're not gear dependent whatsoever so there's not much point to twinking one out. Mid-range droppable gear will get you about as far as any uber no drop stuff.

It's his competitive nature that everyone is having a hard time with. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Mage, Necro, Druid are typically considered "easy mode" classes.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. of course as with most classes, dependent on groups for fastest xp until late teens. After that, group or not, easiest going. In the short run, pre-20, probably ranger with a 2-h, but near useless later on (until fear), unless you just really like the class of course.
