What will be your primary class on Green, considering the Classic changes?

I feel like the assessment that half the people rolling enchanters won't make it to level 25 might be pretty accurate once they start trying to charm without being able to get like +80 Cha in gear for practically nothing like you can on Blue.

true.... Heck on my 40ish enchanter on live I rarly used charm.... i did not trust it enough.

I think the general consensus is that charming is (unclassicaly) easy here compared live. No one remembers Enchanters charming pets for DPS as a regular thing on live (in the classic era), so it seems there's two possibilities:

• Enchanters on live were all stupid and didn't know how to play their character as well as the geniuses here on P99
• charm broke a ton more on live

Now I know we have a lot more knowledge than people did back then, but personally I tend to think #2 is a significant factor.

Do us a solid and find some proof, charm here seems way easy and I main an enchanter

People here are smarter for sure but I dunno if people in real game were so dumb.

5 years stuck in kunark means crazy things.

We got some recent people from alkabor Mac server maybe they can speak to enchies.

I tried that Al Kabor server... their client is hella glitchy...

I mean the original now cancelled eqmac server.

I don't have any experience at level 60 in kunark era but I don't remember anyone talking about enchies being solo slaughterhouses.

Either because of dumb or because we're not classic.

I want to play a bard but the 40% xp penalty means soloing will have to be the way

That's actually the opposite of what is true. Your experience penalty practically disappears when you are grouping.

I don’t think this is necessarily true. Lots of people gonna play just for the ride, and bards are a desirable class for a group. As long as you don’t suck [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Bards may well end up being THE most desirable hybrid to group with by far, especially if we end up with no Clarity for the first few months. Bringing the best HP and later the only Mana regen in the game, as well as haste and slow if the group has no shm/ench, is going to be a HUGE boost for any group of untwinked characters.

I've been planning to main a shaman and I keep trying to resist the desire to roll bard because I have a 58 one on blue already, but a bards ability to reduce downtime and ease pulls and charm DPS without worry about Cha the way enchanters need to and all that good stuff is going to be so ridiculously good during that first wave to 50.
