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

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.

Oh man I mailed a Human Warrior back from soon after launch till about 2004ish. It took me so long leveling (partially because I didn’t know what I was doing) that it was like 5 months before I even made an alt. I remember being stunned at all the stuff casters could do that I couldn’t lol

I think I'm locked into Ranger, but may last minute waffle to Paladin or SK.

WE Ranger or HE Paladin seem like they'd have a good starting path with infravision and easy access to Crushbone, Unrest and Mistmoore, but Human Ranger or Erudite Paladin are just sweet--not to mention I've never done Blackburrow before. On the other hand, the nightblindness of the beta does scare me off a bit.

For SK I was thinking Ogre, but unfortunately, I've done Oasis/Upper Guk to death. So there's less novelty in leveling path. I'm mainly drawn to the dead simple tanking, QoL features, and the fact I've never played an FD class before.

My main goal is really to level in Cazic-Thule and grab some Rubicite and maybe a DE mask.

Both SK and Ranger seem a lot more convenient than Paladin, but something about stunning caster mobs gets me really excited.

I'm surprised wizzy only has 19 votes so far.
Wizard nukes are in high demand during classic and kunark.

I have to strongly recommend not going high elf paladin unless you already know what you're in for. With a base strength of fucking 65, it's a nightmare. A set of small bronze armor weighs 64.7. Ghoulbane is 9.5. Mithril 2h is 8.5. You'd need to pour all your points into strength in order to even carry your gear+bags, and you won't be able to loot anything. It's a terrible idea for a first char on a fresh server. I mean borderline unplayable. If you really want Tunare and infravision, go half-elf and save yourself months of agony and regret. High elf paladin is the kind of thing you can do as a twink alt a year down the line.

High Elf Paladin is fine if you put your bonus points into STR and STA.

^This.

Plus half-elves get a sweet mask of Inny once PoH is released.
Just sayin'

While I do agree with you, I have to play devil's advocate here. I rolled an erudite paladin on Red99 when it first went live and it was incredibly fun. I was the only tank in my guild, and for me twinking just absolutely kills this game. I love doing everything on one character. Making friends, joining a guild and playing from 1-50 with no help from high-level alts is what Everquest is all about for me. Playing an erudite paladin on red was a tough climb, but it was 100% worth it.

So, I say play what you want. You'll have a lot more fun than grinding from 1-50 with a class you don't really like just so you can come back and play the class you really want to play later.

I am close of playing a wizzi and not an SK.

Can't stand it, i love them so much.
Hard to decide.
I need 2 lives and 48 hour days.

An SK would mean more action...
Wizzi is nice to port and good support for a group.

Damn!

[CHusk2]

Primordial Ooze: I say I roll a human rogue & you roll an Erudite cleric. We'll rule the world!

Or maybe we'll get slapped around, but it'll be fun either way.

Surprised about the apparent lack of wizards. I realize it's not the best class for grouping or solo, but it's desired in raids, it's not gear-dependent, and having ports in classic is a huge luxury. Why would this class be among the least played?
