Just a FYI if you plan on only doing your group once a week it's gonna take you like a month atleast to get to 15 as a group.

That will balance out with the fact that when we all log in we'll have a full group of course and we'll probably be parked right at the exp spot. At least we won't waste time.

When you play a race that sucks for a particular class at least you get the added benefit of being unique. Back in the day I was a half elf druid for example and I never once saw another one.

When it comes to the bard or enchanter I think we're locked in with humans. I believe it's an anatomical thing for my sister because even in WoW on horde she played a female troll and orc which are probably the most human like horde races especially as female.

After all this advice I just need to debate if qeynos is really worth narrowing our race selection. And if you we don't roll in qeynos I might be a dark elf sk or human sk instead. Paladin and sk seem fairly even in their own ways and both I know are more fun than a warrior. I also figure that if I'm not going to be a large race then a non-large hybrid seems to be more powerful than a non-large warrior.

Overthinking all of this is probably the most fun I'll have with this group =).

I think its more accurate to say that humans make OK enchanters, as opposed to being horrible at every other int class (sorry Snackies).

I'm actually pretty happy with my gnome enchanter; I just wish I'd gone 25 cha/5int rather than the reverse.

If going to start in Qeynos or around that area, I'd go:

Human SK (tanking, aggro, FD pulls when needed)
Human Cleric (heals, rez and buffs)
Half Elf Bard (pulls, mana song, CC)
Human Enchanter (clarity, charming dps)
Half Elf Druid (ports, evacs, alternative dps)
Barbarian Rogue (dps, lockpicks, corpse recovery)

This group can do everything, and can go anywhere.
I would also strongly suggest that since you have a full group, to try different dungeons instead of the mainstream overcrowded zones. There is no one-groupable content that is out of your reach with this group!

This could easily be what our group ends up being and I do want to do some out of the way places like the Kunark dungeons that I never did. Places like Unrest, Befallen and lguk may be avoided if it's as crowded as I hear. I bet Najena and SolA are empty as always so we'll shoot for those.

If you're starting over new and you have control over six people, make a pet/caster group.

Do like

2 enchanters
2 mages
1 druid
1 necromancer

all dark elf except the druid, who is halfling. Rivervale -> Neriak is a short run.

BAM steamroll all content to 60. Ratio of enchanters:mages:necros doesn't really matter as long as there is at least 1 chanter, and you never have to worry about undergeared melees keeping you down.

Can replace something with a cleric for better functionality if you ever make it 45+, and better control of charm breaks.

If you guys go the Freeport route and you are unsure about the dark elf/human hybrids, be sure to consider Dwarf pally. Solid stats, small size for dungeons, Dwarf racial armor is awesome, and of course the Dwarf jump is OP.

[Cords]

Go Half Elf Bard you can choose to spawn in qeynos as a half elf. You have better stats then a Human, and I think plate armor looks better on a Half-elf then a Human :P
