What Race/Class are you planning on playing?

Cantino · #1 10-19-2004, 03:56 PM

So the name of the thread really says it all... Essentially I'm curious as to what everyone is thinking of in terms of their own characters. I've found the hardest thing to do in new MMORPG's has been to find that friends base that I had back in EQ, thought I'd better start posting and saying hi in interesting ways pretty quick.

In EverQuest (when I used to play) I was a Dark Elf Enchanter and found how much I love it! Nothing better than zoning in and having groups yelling at you to join. Plus I used to be pretty decent...

In EQ2?? My main will be a Dark Elf Enchanter named Sariig. I'm leaning towards Illusionist personally but of course I'm not in beta so dont know as much about the types of enchanters as I'd like. As Illusionist trainer is apparently a "good" trainer and Dark Elf starts out in Freeport we'll see if I stick with it. Coercer could be fun though... We'll see what happens.

As for an alt I'm leaning towards Wood Elf Ranger named Falash.

And you all??

Still undecided really.... been thinking of trying a DE Assassin for a main, that or Shadow Knight. Until I actually try them out for myself though, I really don't know what I will like. The first few weeks after release (unless I get into beta) I will probably be just testing out different things to see how it goes.

Main :

Esperant - Erudite - Conjurer

Alts:

Acknar - Dwarf - Warden
Sweetleaf - Wood Elf - Troubador
Odin - Barbarian - Monk

Planning to be a Ogre Shaman / Defiler named Grizsmasher dunno about alts though.

Sir Taleisin The Seer · #5 10-19-2004, 07:23 PM

Barbarian/Mage - Summoner - Necromancer

and my secondary will probably be a

Ogre/ ? - ? - Bard

Definate: Character will be a kerra

Unsure: Leaning to scout possibly a priest (druid type or Shaman type).

Just the thought of a Ogre bard brings such joy to my day. LOL what a sight that would be...

broken english speaking ogre with slight ebonics singing a tune for us all with his trusty banjo.

hmmm, I'm having trouble deciding, heh.

I see my self staring at the creation screen just zoning out for a bit.

Class? Maybe a fighter. Race? Most likely a rat, just cause I like the non-humanoid forms.

haec to stick to druid since been one forever so wood elf druid with a rat rouge or sk not sure as of yet since not in beta

Cantino · #11 10-20-2004, 11:19 AM

It took me forever to find a character that suited me in EQ1. I played a wood elf Ranger for about 35 levels before I finally figured that wasn't my true EQ calling. I tried about 10 different characters and then finally settled on Enchanter after that. I'd never had so much fun. =)

Wood Elf Assassin would be interesting for Alt but Falash is just too good a person to betray Qeynos.. I've always pictured him as the perfect chaotic good character, doing whatever he feels needs to be done for good. Sariig however... He's the puppeteer.

Esperant · #12 10-20-2004, 11:47 AM

well back in the day when I used to play EQ lol... before the horde of expansions came out. The ranger was the worst class hands down in the game. They were hybrid of WAY too many classes which just about made them worthless. But I heard they've really beefed up the ranger these days.

After about the second expansion I quite because I started seing things that I dont like in MMO's. Specificly robes that I remember used to cost 18kp going for 1kp. Then a swarm of newbs comming on late reaping the benefits and leveling without the fun it took for every battle being a serious challenge without all the fat loot.

Yeah, thats right, I'm an elitest...

cdog1388 · #13 10-21-2004, 01:13 AM

Maybe some type of a tank, I started playing one on EQ for the first time and really enjoyed busting heads. I did miss casting though. I don't know I am so excited to try everything!!

Esperant · #14 10-21-2004, 01:55 AM

luckily this game makes up spells with lots of skills and combos!

Cantino · #15 10-21-2004, 03:12 AM

You're a man after my own heart Esperant! I had to quit EQ after Velious came out. Just started to get diluted to the whole experience. Still, I made it to level 53 on my own, I was happy with that. As far as the cap thing goes? I suggest playing what you like. We've all heard an endless wave of crap about this class/race doing better than that class/race... Even the Ranger thing at the beginning of EQ? My Ranger rocked, I could do some badass stuff near the opening of the game when they weren't all that great. It's all about what you enjoy. The "worst" Class/Race combo can be the best just so long as you love playing it. =)

Esperant · #16 10-21-2004, 04:49 AM

valid and very true at that Cantino. I'll probably stick with erudites. They look awsome in my humble opinion

scottishpaladin · #17 10-21-2004, 12:12 PM

Human Paladin for me surprise

sithlord111 · #19 10-21-2004, 07:08 PM

I'm all about being a Dwarven Berserker! My friend is going to be a gnome Warrior

lol and another of my friends is going to be a dwarven fury!

Fear the wee people!

TroyT · #20 10-21-2004, 07:15 PM

Rat - Warlock or High Elf Priest

Tinr · #21 10-21-2004, 08:56 PM

Going to start of with DE SK was my main in EQlive and I very much enjoyed him.

tweakfreak · #22 10-21-2004, 09:49 PM

My main will probably be a woodelf caster, not sure which apth I'll take form there, but I suppose I'll just go as the wind blows. My first alt'll probably be a DE Necro, just cause sometimes it's fun to be evil.....
