Reading posts on their boards indicated that you even might start needing real tanks and clerics for PoP stuff.

We needed a real tank for AoW when me alex and beastmode did it. Alex stepped up with defensive and won the day.

It was kind of messy, but we did it. I'll be a lot easier with levels, AA, and actual hate weapons, lol. Looks like I'll have to farm him for BoCs.

There's a 2 hander outta Time or somewhere that was so tits back in the day for hate! Now I wanna roll a warrior!! but dealing with hate, when a pet sounds so easy...

Got my War twink to 65 a few days ago. He is twinked with a DBoW from Time and a few Vulak / Velious loots. Need another couple hundred AA farmed to get defensive stuff though.

Sadly, I am moving country and my desktop is getting packed out this week. It's all going on a slow boat overseas. So, I need to learn how to play on my crappy little 13" Dell.

Might not see me around much in the next few weeks.

Warrior - Love all the weapons/toys, and the need for tanks on higher content is pretty cool.
Shaman - Love all the utility, and with slows + beefed up pets, a lot of solo capabilities.
Enchanter - Charm is OP. CC is OP. Nuff said.

That's my short list at the moment. Can't decide.

Enchanters are awesome if you like them, add a druid, cleric or sham and you're good for a long time. As always warrior is best but you can do the same/better depending on the fight or tier with sk/paly.

I go solo but at some point the boxers will leap ahead and you will fall behind. I like seeing what I can do with the last 1% hp and shit like that. Just so sick of a heal/tank box for the last 18 years.

Just really depends on what you want to do, we will be here to help.

I say enchanter or mage/sk/war/nec/NOT RANGER

I think I've got a buddy that wants to make a tank. He was thinking Ranger, but told him not to do it! lol

I'll probably roll Enchanter for this first time, and then with how fast experience is, making twinks isn't a bad idea.

I was fine solo til like 40s-50 but it became very noticeable how much weaker you are after that. Rocking MNK/SHM now and it's a lot of fun.

Brikker Brikker Got some guild haters trying to train you in PoFear, but last I heard he coulnd't kill you. Puma on your monk was killing too much shit too fast. hahaha

First night in with a buddy and we're level 15 now. Figure we might hit UGuk, Unrest, or LOIO. Not sure which yet.

Warrior/Shaman is a pretty sweet combo for now, and the auto grant of spells and skills is amazing!

Velious has been a pretty big step up in terms of how much damage raid mobs do compared to Kunark. Single shaman as a healer won't be able to keep up on most things especially with a lot more unslowable mobs.

Is cool, mostly just testing the limits of MQ2 as a new user. Some free AA out of playing with it doesn't hurt!

It's cool, I don't really mind. Was toying with KA; it seems kinda limited in that I don't think it would work great in zones with a lot of obstacles, etc.

What I really need to figure out is how to use it to automate my SHM box while still having the SHM /stick to me as I move around zones...

I got mine going pretty good automated but you'll want to have some /mqp macros because it sucks when it target locks/casts while you're wanting to do other stuff.

This is true, however my Necro / Shm combo can do all of Velious sans KT / AoW due to being unslowable flurry machines. The Nec pet being the issue, not so much the Shaman. Shaman has such baller mana regen abilities that I have yet to ever run out of mana on him. You simply start needing real tanks with gear and heavy AA heading towards end game. Hell, we had a monk tanking AoW for my flags.

If you guys are hitting walls of difficulty, you need to start faming levels / AA. It's a massive difference.

Also, Infected Paw is live here. Some out of era loot and everything is even, yellow, or red to 65s. Great place to AA farm and gear some non-vis item slots. For example, one of the bracers I found has 3hp /3mana regen and one piece for my War twink has Cleave II on it. Decent place to shore up gear before hitting Luclin + PoP.
