I want to try ones that I've never done before, so that rules out cleric and mage. I want to try out wizzy and rogue, although this will mean I will be constantly hunting for groups.

Rogue if you want to group.
Wiz if you want to solo.

Nothing else to it; both are in demand on raids.

Oh yea... to illustrate the enchanter soloing thing:

After some thought...

I think I've settled on:
Half Elf Rogue
Gnome Necro

It'd be nice to have one class mainly for groups and one class that's pretty much straight solo. I'm deciding on Necro because I'd like to have a class that's EVILLLL! since that's one of the things I loved back on Live. Being KOS to half of everything in each and every zone.

See you guys online, and thanks for the warm welcome and advice

[Coriolis]

Oh yea, welcome to the server!

[medievalerror]

TBH, I think you will find wizards quite difficult (some would rather say "challenging," but not me) on this server, just as they were in classic to some extent. When I first started on p99 I re-rolled my first main from live--a dark elf wizard. I immediately noticed that not only did I have trouble finding groups (because groups would rather have a mage who can both nuke AND provide a pet for extra DPS) but I also had trouble going solo (just like on EQ Live). I actually recently asked for people's advice on re-rolling a wizard (here is that thread: "How Well Can Wizards Solo?"). Wizards are particularly excellent for raids--the trouble is getting them a high enough level to raid (I think you will find that many guilds list wizards as a "high demand" class). In my experience, though, that is really the only place where there is demand for the class. I quickly gave in and ended up re-rolling my wizard as a mage.

Welcome to the server. Evil necro is always fun, mass kill guards/peons in all the good/weak cities [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] (excluding a few so you can sell and bank). Once your higher lvl on the necro you can afford some decent gear for your rogue as well, since necros can basically solo naked. If you need help getting research spells once your 16+ hit me up in game.

Some people are just min maxers and want the best possible group.... when in EQ .. you just want a fun/competent group.... which might mean your group make up is not amazing... *gasp*

[runlvlzero]

druid necro mage, once you solo or group those into your 50 range you will have plenty plat/time to make whatever u want

or enchanter for the brave of heart but they really need cha gear to be fun solo

[Dragonmist]

Rogues are wanted quite often,Wizards can port around making travel bearable.

Play whatever you enjoy that away you dont quit or burnout if you get bored of a certain character you can always create 7 more per account the rules are no boxing but doesnt say you can have 2-3 accounts and one of every class hehe Goodluck Login Have fun...
