Most fun class to twink (sans Monk)

So since I already have a level 56 Monk, I've been thinking about what my next class should be and have been wanting to make a 200k or so twink. Most people will say Monks are the most fun class to twink but since I already have one, what would you guys say is the 2nd best? Or maybe you have differing opinions and think there's a class that is funner to twink than a Monk anyways. I was thinking a lvl 1 Epic/Fungi Rogue.. but maybe someone can make a case otherwise for say Ranger, Pal, SK, War, Bard? Avoid suggesting casters. I know necro's are great at soloing, but I'm just not as interested in playing a caster and melee's benefit from early high-end gear anyways.

Server could use more group oriented bards.
Shadow Knight & Paladins always welcome in group if they work to pay their keep.
Smart Rangers are a boon.

If you have cash to drop though, a decked out Warrior would give you the best solo to group, fun ratio.

I'd recommend avoiding any no drop gear because that direction eliminates your future options. Jboots are cheap enough to write off, but even there SoW potions are probably a better choice. If you buy all droppables, you can easily change your mind.

I've been down this route myself a few times, both here and on live. I really enjoyed twinked warrior, ranger, and monk. Rogue and shadowknight were not quite as enjoyable for me, but still pretty fun. I've tried paladin on two different occasions and I just don't get it. Bad race choices and lousy damage, plus who wants to have to take a break so the tank can med in order to hold aggro?!

With your big budget, I think you're going to have a good time with whatever you choose, but one final caveat: you will have trouble getting groups if you pick ranger.

I'd say Ranger. They have all kinds of really fun tools, but they're just so bland without some great weapons and gear. Twinking them alters that a bit.

Twinking casters - for the most part - is kind of boring.

Deck out a warrior, fungi + nice haste + weapons gg. You can solo for a ways then when you start grouping it will make the entire group mechanic easier due to being able to hold agro and tank well.

Usually a high need for tanks in groups also.

A really well geared ranger isn't the kind of ranger that is going to die easy.....

Just saying (I was a ranger back when velious came out)

I say war..very fun to twink unless you are wanting something different from pure melee..then id go sk or ranger

epic/tstaff/cof/fungi/rotwf....that was pretty fun

I agree with this. Nothing like face rolling npcs as a twinked warrior at lvls 1-30ish.
