How are the following classes in PoP? (Agnarr thread)

[Ella`Ella]

I play an Enchanter on Phinny and there is nothing more powerful for solo play. In Plane of Fire, I charm a Field 1 horse and destroy anything in Field 1, Jopal Island, etc... I can also solo any of the named that spawn there as long as I can land a slow.

In groups, I charm a F1 Horse and bring it to Castle and just have a cleric there for cheal. No tank can keep aggro from the pet since it triples for ~720.

In raids, Enchanters are boring as hell and most guilds just zerg content so even trying to CC is pointless.

My understanding is it will be very hard to zerg down the content of PoP if it was anything like live.

Honestly, it's pretty zergable. Not to the extent that content is here, but in a 72 man raid, 20 people can be clueless and them targets still melt.

There are a couple exceptions - people screwing up on Xegony and letting shit gate and Rathe Council.

What about not being using a clicky to refresh the GCD timer? Does it matter much to you?

I'm used to the fast-paced action on P99, and the 1.5 - 2.0 sec forced pause between each spell in live sounds so depressing.

Is the crafting completely modernized? That is to say, will there be things like modern Troll cultural armor? http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=3047

That's from a later expansion so I doubt it.

How does porting work there? I've heard of the travel getting broke from pok maybe? I never played then... but I would consider a Wizard partly for the travel.

Just don't play chain if you want elemental armor.

Unsure of which class to roll on Agnarr when it comes out.

How are enchanters? Are they as powerful as on p99? What about necros?

Rangers are good and will be my default choice. Monks are outshadowed by bards when it comes to pulling, right?

Are warriors fun to play?

Warriors: Fun only because the social aspect of being a raid tank. Boring class IMO. But if you like them, it is best to get them geared before Luclin launches. They need AAs from that point on to do their job well.

Necromancers are a DPS class and not a /twitch class on Agnarr. They are actually competitive for no. 1 DPS. It's not as easy to solo PoP as Kunark/Velious, but Necros can still do it (esp. with charm undead).

Rangers start to come in their own in Luclin with high bow damage discs. and crits. They out DPS every other class on some fights.

Monks and Bards are both needed. I think Bards are a little more needed at the very end. But that simplifies things down to "who pulls best in PoT?." Bards don't do good damage until Omens IMO. Monks do good damage, but are overshadowed by classes like Necromancer, Wizard, Ranger, and even well-geared Rogues.

so are wizards going to be shit outside of raids until luclin?
