halflings automatically get hide?

back on live, i mainly played a rog, and raided with a friends cleric, then switched to the ranger as my main, though in classic it was the rog when i played, luclin+ more of the ranger, got to time

but i'm not too hardcore on arcane classes, though i do enjoy the mage, in pvp with melee, rogs i see can be good on quick ambush, quickly bs, then go back to sneak hide, but with low hp i see how they can be nuked to death quickly

wars, just go in swinging, and hope to live, or be said to die

rangers, have track, good in a team, or else die

pals, sk's i see both good for pvp, heavily clad in plate, with good resist twords arcane or priest classes go in and swing, steal hp and stun till their opponents dead

clerics, no idea, at the lower lvls i see a sorta tough, but at higher lvls may not be so bad

i just like to play shamans because i over all enjoy the class the most

ill never play a druid

but i do see the necro and other (not saying necros are arcane) but other arcane classes easily teaming up and wooping a ton of ass

I was thinking Halfling Cleric. Hide is great fun on the newbs. People always accuse you of hacking if they don't have see invis up. Great raid class, Ok PvPer, fun as a duo. Cant solo any good loot drops though.

Will we see racial Innoruk loots here? Thats some minor consideration, 20MR boots are amazing.

Shaman is my 2nd choice, they have great utility, can solo camps, one of the few caster classes that actually gets more powerful in Velious (long ways away I know..)

I did not know that Shaman DoTs were resisted that bad. To me it seems like a Shaman would be pretty beastly if their DoTs would land. I mean who really carries around cure pots or keeps cure up except the "pros".

What always bugged me about Druids is that their best DoTs are easily dispellable. I was no expert PvPer but I can't think of too many times I was killed by a druid except Lasher or an epic druid when it was broken.

Paladins are good when they get Mith 2hander.

They are sick if your pal is playing a cleric.

Double stuns is absolute rape for people inside Lower Guk fighting over manastone.

dunno on bards, can maybe covertly train a shit ton of mobs on people, i'd think they're great for team pvp then solo, but i may be wrong

been thinking about a monk maybe to play, i enjoy the class very much, solo i'd say they would manage in pvp, and a great class ive played before and enjoy very much, and can usally lvl up quickily

So you top pvpers, the elite of eq pvp on live, what all did you play?

I was a bard on Sullon Zek and it was the funnest gaming experience of my life as a stoned gamer.

There wasn't a class I couldn't take as long as they weren't too close to zone; just need to prime the right set of songs for the occasion.

The trick is you need to be balls-out to get your skills and confidence up with what a bard can pull off in pvp. For casters try and hurt them a bit with charmed pets, dots, or fly by jousting (when you zip through someone at high speed with low attack rate but high damage weapons), then spam bellow while attacking with 2 fast weaps until the caster is low enough and hit denon's desperate dirge for a surprise. It basically acts like a weaker harm touch and surprises the fuck out of people.

Melee obviously snare and chant them while doing the occasional joust hit.

Apart from soloing it was insanely fun to be a bard with a good gank partner. I'd track people, zip us in at the speed of light, do whatever i do to fuck them up while my buddy SK, Wiz, or Monk assisted.

Plus being able to zip away from trouble is really fun, results in few deaths, and really pisses off your enemies.

Just my experience. Probably had 4302 kills on Tallon Zek. 1 of which was a Bard.

(Yes, I probably died 4302 times, too)

what makes bards so good? I hear people talk about them, but I've never really faced one.
