EQ2 is relatively balanced. Your ideal raid comp contains about 3/4th of the classes available in the game.

There's also this 'caster-vs-melee' buff system they have going on with Dirges, Troubadours, Coercers, and Illusionists. Dirges and Coercers buff melee classes, Illusionists and Troubadours buff mage DPS.

Traditionally, your melee group will be something like:
Dirge, Brigand, Inquisitor/Mystic, Coercer, <filler dps or healer>, <filler dps>

Your mage group will be something like:
Illusionist, Troubadour, Fury/Defiler, Necromancer, <filler dps>, <filler dps>

Your best bet for MT group is going to be something like:
Guardian/Paladin/Zerker, Coercer, Templar/Inquisitor, Dirge, Mystic/Defiler, <threat transfer dps class>

In terms of uselessness, I'd say Conjy/Wizard are pretty high up there in uselessness in classic EQ2.

I'd say that Monks/Bruisers still have a chance in early EQ2 due to stat inflation and could probably fill in the tank role without any changes, the game is abysmally easy if they don't make the Prismatic raid line bosses harder to begin with. Especially with stat inflation, too early to tell. Avoidance based tanks will have problems if AAs aren't in to start.
Best tank at start of game will be paladin due to amends + heal changes. Inquis will be better than templar because reuse buff and dps mod buff. Conj's are gonna be really good if the swarm pet change stays on servers. Bards are always good, same with chanters. Fury will be good because primal fury will matter again, mystic/defiler are obvi gonna be really good. Also in an interview Holly confirmed that there will be no beastlords/channelers.

Excited for this. I'm pretty casual nowadays, around 10-15 hours a week, but will be starting a coercer on the pve server. Have they stated when it launches? Beta starts today yeah?

If beta goes well I might in a moment of boredom and insanity make a wizard or warlock on PVE. I have no idea which is less annoying/most useful to play.

In my experience with EQ2 I'd always get stuck in groups without any top tier dps and it sucked balls.

Hotbar will just be a bank of macros for different resists.

Still better than being a scout and keeping up poisons.

That shit won't be the case. You'll still be playing the current game, even if they just buff up hp pools or whatever. You aren't playing the launch game.

Server still down? Getting the error that my client doesn't match the server's. Nevermind, just saw a post from Holly stating around 4pm now as eta.

New estimate is 4PM PDT.

So, #EQ2 Beta is patching now. Normally it takes a couple of hours (which is why I keep giving 2hr estimates). If all goes well...4pm-ish?
