Ench/cleric is decisively better once you get access to CHA gear. The difference between under 150 and above is staggering. Mage/whatever will vastly outperform an ench/clr on a new server simply because of the enchanters reliance on gear.

Unless you manage to farm enough plat so that the chanter can make his own CHA gear [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It depends on how they coded charm. The default eqemu code (which is based on PoP I guess) is not actually that charisma dependent. I know because based on reading this code I went full int on Loraen [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shaman/Monk is actually quite weak at lower levels. I'd say its only at 35+ when the shaman can slow every mob that it really takes off. In fact all the melee will really suck until 50+ when they can start to farm Kael. Mage/Necro would get to 60 much, much faster.

Is there /melody on sleeper? If so then I really think shaman/bard would be the best without question. You would be able to do everything and would have little to no downtime

I believe as of now melody is in.

Well now people can enjoy Velious, what a lovely resolution to the thread... it means there's little chance of any other threads of this nature springing up about the P99 release because everyone's got a legit way to enjoy the expansion that they're so impatient for.

If not for plat hoarders demands, nobody needs to make another Velious thread for a while, and I don't need to make any gifs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] win/win

Wishful thinking. I have it on my calendar once a week to post a Velious thread just to see your .gifs.

Tried the server, got my duo into the 20s. All the server did was make me appreciate the work and dedication that was put into p1999. Wake me up when EQVapor, er EQClassic launches.

cleric/chanter seems like a ton of work. Huge payoff, but wouldn't it be fairly difficult to micromanage? Same with shaman/bard (because bard songs are so micro intensive)

but not as much work as shaman/enchanter *shrugs*

The negative reports from people that beta tested it just make me wonder whether it's worth putting up with a buggy/non-classic server for an endgame that isn't as ridiculous as this one.

It'll be interesting to see the population after a month or so, seems like it might drop off in a hurry if it's as bad as people are saying.

Shit end-game hasn't drove everyone off over here. You never know.

That guy is insanely dedicated but I doubt he will ever launch a server. See my sig.
