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

Sure. I more mean proc weapons for added aggro. Nothing like resisted rubbish procs to piss something off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Gnoll hide lariat takes some levelling to get the proc for though.

Then again maybe buffs are seen as threat just as cleric heals are? Dunno

I think certain buffs are. Maybe just the ones that increase HP and therefore count as a heal threat-wise? I've definitely been aggroed after casting a Skin spell on my Druid.

I'm torn between Bard, Monk, and Shaman. I know there will be a lot of other Shamans around, but I enjoy that class from what I've seen of it, and I've only gotten one up to mid 30s.

I've played many Monks over the years and always had fun, plus I know it will be a relatively nice pick for classic without any gear. Bards are awesome and I'd like to try it, but the idea of constantly twisting does seem like it might get annoying.

So many choices, so little time.

I've been all over the place on this question. Having experienced the raid scene on Blue, I have no interest in subjecting myself to that ever again. Hence I really don't care if my choice is good on raids. I've also played my fair share of relatively under-powered or boring classes (namely wizard), and wouldn't mind being a little closer to OP this time around.

Best I can come up with is shaman for excellent group and solo focused gameplay that's significantly different than what I've played before. Enchanter could also be fun, but I am not sure I've got the skill under pressure to handle charm breaks or difficult camps. Druid may be an option for super easy solo play, some decent group opportunities at low level, and the convenience of ports. Ahhh, can't decide.

Voted shaman for now. Probably a troll.

Definitely Shaman for what you’re describing

I'm leaning towards making a Bard, probably for entirely different reasons than most people.

-My main has always been a Monk, so this seems similar yet different.
-I'm interested in adding more tools to my belt, but hate medding.
-Learning to master situational song twisting will be a fresh new challenge.
-Gearing up sounds fun and relatively relaxed. I love the look of full Bronze plate and will make that one of my first goals.
-Diving into the world of 1HS weapons will be a nice change of pace, coming from a Monk. Dual wielding with haste song will be another milestone to motivate me.
-Having speed song sounds amazing for traveling.

I should also say that my play style is much more focused on enjoying the low to mid level range, with little chance I'll see end-game content.

My first toon ever was a Mage back in late 99 & haven't played one since then.

Will be rolling a Warrior very soon after that though. Can't wait to quest hard for some crafted and get some dual wield YAKS baby.

Someone make me feel better about going Erudite cleric for my main. I've always wanted to roll one but I'm afraid I'm gonna be blind and bored af.

I was perusing the classic-era Legacy of Steel screenshots linked in this thread and came upon this one from the height of Velious: http://www.legacyofsteel.net/gallery.../groupshot.jpg

Notice anything?

No Iksar Monks! No Iksars at all!

When you're on the bleeding edge of raid competition with the classic release schedule (only 7 months of Kunark before Velious!) there simply isn't going to be time to level and gear up an Iksar character. Kunark on Green is going to be a full-out sprint to get everyone to 60 and keyed for VP. Any guild that stops and decides that powerleveling Iksar Monks is a productive use of its time is going to be left in the dust. It goes back to what I said earlier: if you want to play a raiding Monk on Green, don't think that waiting for Iksar is the smart move. You will put yourself in a major hole compared to the level 50 Human Monks who will be sprinting out the gate at Kunark release with full Fear and Sky gear, ready to proc their new T-staffs from day one.

On classic, I played Alkaiser the Erudite cleric on E'ci. On P99 blue I played Alkaiser the Erudite cleric. On red I played Alhazad the Erudite paladin. I've always loved Erudites and I find it difficult to break away from that race as my main choice.

However, I do want to play a rogue. I'm thinking I'll take the leap and play either a human warrior or human rogue.

Though, I may go with a bard.

I mained a human rogue on blue. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
