What Class You'll Be

After reading about a few of the classes, I decided to be a human Priestess; although I will dabble in the other classes and races for fun.



This may be real ahead of the game, but what class and race do you folks plan on playing as your main?


Monk [65 Transcendent] Seniorita (Retired)

[Wester 42]

Leaning towards rogue or warrior. Probably a troll <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)">

Orc warrior, Undead something, (http://pub147.ezboard.com/fmonklybusiness43508frm29.showMessage?topicID=55.t opic) and probably a human warlock.

[spargen]

go shaman !


</p>

Tauren Hunter or maybe some kind of Warlock. The means of acquring pets for both of these classes sounds really fun. You probably will end up feeling kind of an attachment to them, which is pretty cool.


</p>

My first class will definately be a dwarven hunter specializing in firearms who blacksmiths, engineers, and mines <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> ... Hope tradeskills don't decimate my characters effectiveness, anyone know about that?



Edit: THANKS LENARDO!

tradeskills don't use the same "points" as combatskills except for if you have to "buy" a weaponskill



so no it doesn't effect you one iota

Female Human Rogue, Female NE Hunter, or an undead rogue, because at least from what i saw of alpha shots, all the male models looked super ghey, except for orcs.

Nightelf Druid... I'm dying to go shapeshifting! I seem to remember reading on one of Furors news posts that they can turn into a bird for traveling, rabbits and squirrels for scouting, bears etc <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">

You're a sick man Len... A lucky, lucky, sick man.



PS- You can play both alliance or horde right? I remember that they weren't sure they were going to allow that.


Homer (http://www.pusboil.com/magcman.wav)

http://www.angelfire.com/home/pearly/homer/homer_woo.jpg</p>

Rogue or Paladin.



Here is a list of what character abilities are most important to me when deciding what class to play in an MMOG. Most important ones are at the top of the list.



#1 Ability to AFK safely

#2 Survivability

#3 Independence

#4 Utility

#5 Healing (not primary, but has a form of healing)

#6 Group friendly and ability to help others

#7 Ability to get around fast

#8 Stealth

#9 Defensive ability

#10 Offensive ability

and you picked to play an eq monk? <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":b">



just joshin ya! haha, thats what they sound like now.. but they were pretty close to that before <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":(">


</p>

Probably a warrior, not sure of the race yet. I'll try them all though eventually <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/tongue.gif ALT=":p">



PS, how many chars can you have per account?

[Swiftfisted]

I'm seriously considering rogue because I think I'm a melee at heart, gonna try a shaman too though.

Elder Velp Er (http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=621436) - 65 Froggie Prophet of E'Ci</p>

Well, monks are no longer independent, and their defensive abilities are shot to hell. Before PoP, monks filled my list best, and druids came second until PoP came out. If the play style of the class differs from these lists too much, odds are I won’t enjoy the class as much. If the class fills my last list, odds are I will hate the class. The only thing I have encountered in an MMOG which really pissed me off was changing a play style I have loved for years into something I could not stand. I don’t want to reroll something I spent years of my life into making.





A list of things which I think are nice, but I don’t really need are the following



#1 Heavy nukes: I like blowing stuff up, but it is not top of my list

#2 Pets: I like having pets to help out, and maybe decoy when I’m in trouble, but don’t like to have my power split between me and the pet

#3 Advantage at trade skills: I like being good at trade skills, but most MMOG’s they are for profit rather then upgrading one self. In many other MMOG’s, players can upgrade past the best player mades. I think I will like WoW trade skills, so that is on the list.

#4 Teleports: although if traveling takes more then 15 minutes, I highly consider it due to limited play time

#5 Lots of MP: It’s nice to have, but I don’t want to have to depend on magic for everything

#6 Lots of HP’s: Honestly, I like lots of HP’s but I think it was from EQ which caused me to favor HP over many other stats. Preferably, I would rather have high AC/resists and actually have them mean something.





Things I really don’t care for when selecting an MMOG character are the following.



#1 Being forced to a specific play style

#2 Having my survival depend on others

#3 Lack of adaptability

#4 Being highly dependent on others

#5 Being primary healer all the time, or anything that may incorporate something as gay as a CH chain

#6 Being disadvantaged at traveling. (Think of warriors getting around in EQ before Luclin)

#7 Being extremely frail in combat

#8 Being high maintenance and needing to constantly restack items, or get buffs off others.

Alliance: Dwarf Hunter 1st and foremost. Will prolly try a human rogue as well.



Horde: Tauren Warrior and or Shaman



I just want boomsticks dammit ive been waiting foreva!


</p>

The safe Afking with rogues may not be AS safe as you might like since you can only FD once for each reagent you have and you can only have one at a time and they're fairly uncommon.



Stealth of course mitigates this quite a bit.



I think you can have 8 characters per account.

bah can't beleive i haven't posted here. I guess it was on my guild's boards where i replied.



I'm planning on being a warlock. Race depends on where the majority of my guild goes. Human or Undead i'm thinking.

Did they finish that bonus act? I played it for several hours and it abruptly ended, seemed like I remember seeing a "to be continued" or similiar message at the end. If they've patched the game and updated it, I need to go finish it. I agree, it was VERY fun.
