Your opinions: class preference to each race

[Topgunben]

outside of spells, do SK and Paladin melee and mitigate damage the same?

thank you for all your responses BTW. this has been extremely helpful

Humans and Half-Elves are strongest when mixed with classes that add skills to races that don't come with skills, just as adding races that come with skills to skillless classes is useful. In that consideration, Humans make great Rangers and Bards especially, since the other races don't give them anything extra. They are almost perfect as a rogue, but barbarians add a bash and wood elves a 50 forage that rogues wouldn't otherwise have. Humans also are a robe race, which is nice for rare endgame fashion. Some clickies get ruined by some selections, such as picking a Dark Elf rogue you lose out on a guise, since you could have went Dark Elf mode anyway.

I actually think Humans are the best Ranger race and bard race specifically.

The 2 playable races are Iksar and Dark elf.

Iksar: Shaman/Monk

Dark elf: everything else


If your class can't be one of these (or illusion to one of these) it's not worth playing.

It's difficult for me to understand why anyone would roll a human monk. No regen or extra AC, lol no thanks. Humans can get to 60 faster in groups I guess, but iksars can solo to 60. Humans have a terrible kick animation and FD on iksars are hilarious and very dramatic, easily the greatest. Sometimes I just sit in EC tunnel and FD for hours because of how cool they look doing it, I think it makes the humans jealous. Lastly, everyone knows iksars win fashion quest, what do humans have? An eye patch? Gross.

Min/max races are most overrated thing on this server. Nobody really cares if you're an iksar/human. Play what you like staring at the most IMO.

Human monks are the superior monk due to fashion quest. Sorry you rolled lizard.

Solo arguments on P99 are meaningless to me because if you are playing EQ solo you are playing EQ wrong (duo/trio 4tw)

I think humans are ugly and more times then not the player on the other side of the screen share some of the same characteristics as their avatar in game. Weak, Slimy, and mediocre

This guy speaks the truth.

[elwing]

Human: sk
Erudite: sk
Troll: sk
Ogre: sk
Barbarian: no good classes, avoid
Dark elf: sk
Halfling: no good class, avoid
Dwarf: no good class, avoid
Gnomes: no good class on p99 timeline, avoid on p99
High elf: avoid
Wood elf: avoid
Half elf: avoid
Iksar: sk

Easy

I am curious what you guys think about which class is the most quintessential for each race. I hate to use big words like the aforementioned, but there isn't a better one. This doesn't have to be min/max, just tell me what combinations you think fit best together.

Here's my list

Barbarian = shaman
Dwarf = cleric
Dark elf = necromancer
Erudite = wizard
Gnome = magician
Halfling = rogue
Half elf = bard
High elf = enchanter
Iksar = monk
Human = Paladin/ranger
Ogre = warrior
Troll = Shadow knight
Wood elf = druid

Hey, this is really good! You only made a few mistakes.

Human = Bard
Half Elf = Ranger
Dwarf = Paladin
