shaman best option

But, as always, play the class you enjoy playing, and can see yourself playing for more than a year. If being in a group and only staring at life bars, or only casting stat buffs and slows isnt appealing, don't make one of those classes. A warrior and enchanter, while not great, can get some xp together, especially in the lower levels, and will be pretty easy to get groups.

This is very good advice. When I came to this server, I told my cousin not to make a druid just because they are convenient-- because I knew he wouldn't like them endgame. Sure enough...
If you find a shaman, druid, or cleric...you're in pretty good shape for a trio. There are lots of groups going on all the time on the server. Self-sufficiency in EQ is very overrated. You need to make connections with other players to truly advance anyway.

I would choose cleric because they are hard to lvl solo. Both enchanter and shaman can solo well. If your gonna be grouped 100% of the time then the choice is cleric.

You'll need a guild sooner or later. If you don't group at all its hard to get anyone to vouch for you or say "oh yeah Soandso, we grouped in Mistmoore I remember him, he knows his stuff" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Play what you want. Obviously, shaman or cleric would make a solid duo partner with a warrior. I like shaman, it's an interesting class for sure and is very versatile. If shaman, go troll for da regen, especially if you are duoing. The conplete heal and rez capabilities from a cleric will be really nice though.

There is also something to be said of ench/warr. You will be loved in groups! And enchanters are extremely powerful.

shaman are pretty much the ultimate duo class, can never go wrong with one. Warrior dps is not good, so the shaman dots will help.

I don't really understand some of these comments. Sure Shaman/Warrior is better than Enchanter/Warrior . . . . if you never group with anyone else. Which is the whole point of EQ. A solid Enchanter and Warrior can be the core of any number of groups; just find a healer and go.

It's normally easier to find an enchanter than a healer in my experience.
