first character tank - should I even bother? - Page 3

Kunark is around the corner. Whenever a new expansion comes out people get upgrades. When they get their upgrades they sell their old gear. The market floods, prices drop like a rock. You will be able to twink yourself for the modest amount you can make on your first toon.

Have fun.

if you wanna play a tank, no other role will fill that desire.

unless you want to tank by proxy and then play a mage or necro...

If you want to tank, play a tank, my first character on this server and still my only character is an Erudite SK, I may not level fast but I enjoy playing my character.

As stated before, if you are going to roll a gear dependent class as your first character there is no better time to do it than right after a new expansion comes out. I remember having things just given to me on live that people charge 300 platinum for here, and these were considered solid non-planar armor pieces in classic.

I'm a bit confused...

So do players share the xp penalties now of the others in the group, or is that just a thing of the past?

One of the problems with the server is that it is overrun with pet classes. Be a hero. Roll a paladin.

Blahh.. Warrior all the way. I do have to admit it was my 1st toon ever on eq and it was tough with no gear. Try hard, listen to peeps and be a good friend in game to as many clerics and Druids as u can.. I have no regrets.. Though drunk tanks in planes catch a ton of shit from guildys.

They do, and RARELY you will find someone that really cares.....My first char on p99 was a bard, and I think I grp'd with a warrior maybe once or twice leveling up, rest of the groups tanks would always be SK with a occasional Pally....it was very rare that grps complained about the xp penalty they were getting from having a bard AND sk in grp.

SK's and Paladin's hold agro amazingly compared to warriors at low lvls...not to mention they're agro is not gear dependant, 90% of the groups out there prefer this safety to getting around the xp penalty.
