The spell/item click for “identify sometimes says weird stuff. This one says “class 3”.

Regardless I recharge with one on an alt. 7 gold and not needing a box of the void is worth a camp-out

If players really feel this way then the people they are playing with are actually really bad at the game. Root costs 30 mana and gives warrior aggro. By the time it wears off, assuming the mob is still alive, aggro is no longer an issue.

When I play my shaman I will duo with a warrior over almost any other class because they are easier to heal than a Monk for the content we do, and they have very respectable DPS. When I duo with monk I feel like I have a lot more clutch moments where they suddenly almost die, and when I duo with a paladin or sk the mobs don’t die fast enough for the camp to feel good.

It’s just weird how many people complain about warrior aggro because if the players in your group aren’t rooting the mobs then they are bad at the game I don’t feel bad for saying this.

Even when I’m playing on my Enchanter I notice that most clerics are skilled enough to root mobs before I even mez them.

Yeah so any class that can't do its basic function without help is a bad class imo

Warriors need to hold aggro and that's like the 1 thing they can't do reliably

You auto attack
Press kick
Hope you proc or someone roots the mob for you

You ensure you are appropriately geared
You take less damage than every other class
You have overpowered disciplines
You actually accomplish the job while putting out admirable dps
You don’t really have aggro problems
Fixed that for you.

The above was always my experience as a warrior.

By this same logic clerics are a shitty class too.

but yes, if your healers aren't capable of rooting mobs then they are actually bad.

when i heal in KC i usually dont get the luxury of having an enchanter mez, the only CC we have is root lmao. I dont care if youre a paladin or an SK, Im slowing the mob and immediately rooting it so I can sit down without the mob punching me in the face. its really not that hard.

also when it comes to solo'ing as a warrior, you dont need to use procs, you can use a wurmslayer and scimitar of the emerald dawn for insane damage. two warriors in our guild literally just did 1-40 in a couple of nights of playing with good weapons, haste item, and a fungus tunic. no matter how much money you spend twinking an actual op class like enchanter, they aint leveling that fast.

i guess rogue would actually be the best example. class is pretty bad. not great at solo'ing. i dont really like duo'ing with them because they aren't tanky and need to be behind the mobs to really deal great damage. just a really bad class for 90% of the content.

In reality at high level though i love having them in my group and they are top dps in raids. like on paper any class can be really bad lol.

What do you mean not tanky?

They get unlimited AC returns and tank just fine.

Shit warriors will tank almost the same as shit rogues. There's very little difference in it.
true af, truly classic is rogue tanks who solo just fine

even without gear [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

P99 is a custom game based on EverQuest. Rogue tanking is overpowered. It’s very good. It shouldn’t be this good. It is.

That’s the facts, people’s feelings and desires for classic mean nothing compared to the facts.

They’re not as good as monks, they’re as good as knights and warriors AC for AC. Most rogues gear for str/MR/HP. Not AC. Put some AC on or get to the point where you have no choice but to stack AC anyway and only a few small decisions matter (earring 2, range slot etc) at BIS levels.
Rogues tank really good in normal content, ie: juggs. I've had rogue tanks for low lvl stuff lot of times. People weird thinking they can't tank.

I actually agree with you. I had a level 60 rogue. Gave it to a friend when I quit EQ. He swore he wouldn’t change the password. Months later I try to log in and the password is changed. Turns out he sacrificed my rogue as low as he could, and then gave the account to some rando.

I called Sony and got my password reset. Anything of value was stripped, but I had all of my no drop stuff. Full sky shrine, jboots, epic, etc. remember being shocked when I logged in and made a thread on the forum and finding out what happened. My “friend” sac’d my char as low as he could, and then gave it to a rando who intentionally deleveled my rogue it to level 6 if I recall. I tried to find the silver lining. I was super low level, but I had a ragebringer and full skyshrine, so at least I could have some fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I went into Crushbone expecting to be unstoppable, but still routinely died to orc legionaires [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] like I wasn’t this Uber tank slaughtering mobs, I still felt relatively weak and wasn’t really able to solo at any level on my quest back to 60+

Meanwhile on p99 I can take a rogue with banded armor and a trak tooth and slaughter all of crushbine at low level [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I’m not bashing p99, it’s my fav game on the market by far, but I know some of this isn’t truly classic,lol.
