If you want a melee, you should probably go Rogue - easy epic, good variety of gear, most reliable snares in the game and great on the raid scene.

If you want a caster, definitely an assling druid or humie wiz.

Also, do not underestimate the value of a skilled battle-cleric in pvp, you will keep people alive and completely destroy the opposition in group pvp by doing so.

It's not that bad. Had a group in CB rolled by a pair of twink rangers. They all ran and plugged while I fought and died but that's part of the fun you know? I don't have shit for play time but I'd rather spend it enjoying the game than waiting in line like you do on the blue server.

Forgot to add, made a rogue as first character. IDGAF. Play what you want, rogue is what I enjoyed on Live when I primarily raided during Velious so that's what I want to play again. Found out I suck at jousting though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

As someone said, the geared lower level characters made specifically to destroy other low level players exist, but it is not a big issue. In the last two weeks I leveled a Shaman to 46 without any issues at all. Play whatever you want.

Worst case scenario, play a class that can easily make some plat and then gear up your own hybrid twink?

Thanks for all the replies. I'm gonna stick to blue and other games, red seems like a waste of time. Maybe if a fresh server came out that disabled MQ I'd try it out.

Give red another thought, imo. In many ways, this server feels much more like a "classic experience" than blue does. Lower pop and occasional ganks? Yes. But group xp bonus and lots of players starting fresh and the server not as old means you have groups of people leveling up with fine steel weapons and 160 int and unable to afford all of their spells and stuff. It's fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I decided to give it another chance, leveling up a Halfling Cleric, shelfing my Troll SK.

Nice!

Remember that even though you're a cleric, sometimes you won't have people sending you a tell asking you to come heal them. Make a friends list, and don't be afraid to put together a group yourself. Also, if you want to, you can get some xp soloing undead. I actually preferred solo to group from like 25-40 because unrest is great and hags go down quick, especially once you get the new nuke at 34.
