eq2 pvp progression server

I still don't understand why good would be stacked if there is no advantage to being good?

betrayal is inconvenient because in order to betray you have to become exile, then do fation for the opposite side. It involves being ganked alot ( because alot of people will camp the betrayal quest givers) . So since the best pvp class probably is gonna be on q side (swash, pally possibly) most will roll there to avoid having to betray.

also its for some erason more popular to be on Q side. no idea why.

I remember being a dark elf paladin on a mount and I figured for me that was pretty much beating the game so I went to WoW because it actually had PvP servers.

if i said swash is shit I am retarded. Its definitly one of the top 3 best classes in pvp. Pally not so much, but since the class has changed alot fundamentally since launch, it could be alot better than it used to be.


In reality there isnt a best class to play. Only a class that performs better in pvp with ease, which people with less experience tend to flock to because its easy pvp success. Any good player can be successful in pvp with the class they like if they learn it.

paladins have viable group heals and good stuns for pvp, swash is great dps

all eq2 classes are viable its designed that way

it does sound like everything has a counter and is better balanced than eq1

... from reading discussions

which sounds promising

I have been reading up on it and it does seem like every class bitches about something, which usually points towards some balance.

One thing I have seen consistently is that shaman healers aren't ideal because of cast times and other classes having enough CC to shut them down with those longer cast times.

Another is that the bards have a pretty tough time but I think I'm still going to give them a shot.

Bards really don't come into their own until Echoes of Faydwer.

Swashbucklers are prob #1 til Ruins of Kunark which they fall off a bit but are still great. They'll be absolute monsters in Kingdom of Sky and Echoes.

the biggest problem with eq2 class balance is that alot of people can play eq2 and get away with not knowing how combat works 100%. so they complain and the developers listen to their customers, and end up breaking things as a result. also alot of class changes were made with only pve in mind and not pvp which ended up breaking pvp some. so its a mixed bag.


shamans will be stronger when they get AAs, and are still formidable in groups. just not till then.
