don't xp with less than 6 characters. SK/bard is totally fine because if you are killing for xp with a group of 2 you are already horribly wrong, and if you can't get people to group with you that problem needs to be fixed first and your class makeup is less important!

While interesting to read this derail really just illustrates what I was trying to say. In an ideal theorycrafted setting like duoing chardok royals, the enc clr duo seems great. Seems best or close to best even. Certainly ahead of sk shm! In an actual I played the game and went to chardok...

If someone comes to a forum and asks for recommendations, what else is there to go with? The people I consider the most skilled in eq who box go with bards. I can make this comment because I just did the enc/clr duo on rizlona, originally +mage and now also +ranger. There are places mostly off...

If you cannot be convinced that sk/shm is the best basis and not clr/enc than why even argue it? You've already made up your mind based on theory crafting even though almost every tlp veteran who boxes goes a very different route. Enchanters are god tier for leveling. They are not god tier for...

Does it matter? Enchanters constantly quit. Guilds are lucky to have ONE come oow. Why would you make one instead of a bard if clearly nobody enjoys playing them?

I really don't think this era of hundreds and hundreds of people in a single guild is going to end unless they do something to restrict instance creation by guildtag. People were 3 digit zerging pop raid mobs in era because they could; people are mass zerging ow and low man splitting dzs now...

Find better druids. Their charm in there is fine, and necro tools are not needed in a zone with some of the worst pathing in eq such that you can move 5ft and be 2 minutes further away. A goon is a better pet by only a small margin, whereas druid nukes shit on necros who can't get real value...

In classic necros can charm in lguk and druids in solb. Neither usefully in oot. Both can charm in chardok for 51-60. The problem is not access, the problem is people deciding not to charm.

A druid that charms is gonna be #1 dps. The issue in classic is access to good charm spots. They aren't even too bad without charm against higher cons because their revamped dots are good and have resist mods. They're only weak if you are trying to just be a healer.

Enchanters are beasts while leveling. They are not always ideal when at the cap and established. They fall off pretty hard if you stick it out long term. The idea behind sk is its always a decent tank and sometimes amazing, never bad. The bard is always a decent support and usually amazing...

Different classes require more work than others. If you box multiple melee it's a nightmare unless you use 3rd party and then its the easiest. Bard is probably the simplest box to set and forget and almost never either bad or a pain to add. If you go monk and shaman, your top 2, adding your #3...

If you aint lich dyin you aint even tryin

People get carried away. Even non undead, cleric nukes on camps with staggered pulls should often crush melee during a launch. You'd need near constant uptime on autoattack to beat out most any caster. That shit obviously changes eventually. But... wizards are good casters, they're not losing to...

Snare neck isn't THAT good because of the cast time.

Why not neither

frogs have the best origin by far if thats your deal. Also the best looks unless you're an ingrate.
