How EQ PvP really was - No bullshit guide

[Lasher]

Most of this guide is geared toward kunark era, so maybe come back in a year or so and read it

A good post for the most part - you played a warrior/ranger/monk/sk/paladin didn't you? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Some differences in opinion.

Warrior/Ranger/Monk/SK/Paladin: Pretty much good, but paladins and especially SKs had an advantage here.

Rogue: Spot on.

Druid: Looks good.

Mage: Looks good - pets could be poofed back in the day though so they had a lot of trouble with bards.

Shaman: Did not use ebolt, what a huge waste of mana. Shamans had manaless damage in the form of a pet and melee. They were about attrition.

Bard: Definitely capable of "killing" people in the sense that if they wanted the area you were in, they got it. You couldn't kill them and they could slowly do damage to you. They were all about the mind games.

Cleric: Yup!

Enchanter: Mass pvp, annoying as hell. Rapture and pillage made them high priority targets.

Wizards: Levitate? Golem wands won't allow those shenanigans. Everything else looks good.

Necro: 100% wrong here. Necros were an attrition class that focused on pet dps and their own survivability. They were great at 1v1 and large scale pvp. If you focused on the necro, they would kite you, if you focus on their pet, they just dispel any cc you land or dot/deflux you.

Never heard of you and was even in Holocaust, the guild in your sig. Was Fraud <Ruin> on SZ. You must be new to the internet and didn't play till TZVZ box 8.0. I would recommend some thorazine for your apparent mental problems/rage posts though.

Mental rage at stupid fucking threads. You post a list of shit that has nothing to do with classic EQ pvp. SZ was open to velious bro, grats on all that old world pvp experience for a game and server that included 2 expansions by that time. Please move along, no one cares about your 2 sentence synopsis on every class for a mixture of oldworld+kunark+velious issues. You have been relieved of your posting rights and may god have mercy on your soul.

edit: I mean seriously dude, this is some DEEP shit you thought about..

Cleric: Basically a healing only class. Two DA's so it's really hard to die. Stuns and blinds never land on well geared people. If you try nuking someone with over 100MR, you'll be lucky to do 25-50% of their HP after blowing your entire mana bar.

Bravo, you sure gave those bluebies a useful guide to that class. Thanks dawg, everyone so much smarter now that you've created this guide. Sticky this shit!

Not after Kunark opens. Warriors using mightystrike while berserk with dual wield stuns each hit and does big damage. It's just as dangerous as a Tstaff monk using disc. On EQ live, they are all very well balanced against each other in Kunark so hopefully they won't screw anything up to change that balance. They all have their pluses and minuses without one really standing out above the others.

I dunno what server you played on but shamans rarely attempted to melee against tstaff wielding monks, ragebringer rogues, or even warriors.

There's nothing wrong in my necro post. It doesn't even say anything except positives and negatives for dots. You can play a necro several different ways anyway. Some people just cast a few dots then try to channel lifetap down the melee attacking them since many people don't even dispel/cure. It all depends who you're fighting.

So my post makes you mad, awesome. It's fun having 12 year old kids on the msg board raging mad at you, especially when they discover they have 0 chance of killing you in game.

I am confused on why you even decided to include kunark stuff in your post when you knew this was going to be just classic for a while.

agree op "guide" is pretty off base

[Scribbles]

tho granted anyone reading some random newbies "class guide" on the p99 forums and using it to decide which class to play is pretty much guaranteed to be fodder (regardless of which they choose)
