If the dude is stoned out of his mind and takes 50% of the mobs HP to send his pet... I rather he just be a bard playing songs AFK.

It really comes down to how lazy we talking. Mobs die pretty fast. Are you reacting fast enough to each mob to be contributing what your class should be contributing. Obviously people invite a pet class and they will expect that pet to be on the mob pretty fast.

I am a highly functioning stoner. Mostly sativa.

I like the idea of soloing and going afk when I want. So necro has some appeal. I enjoyed monk and it was good for a lot of what I wanted but I want to do something different. Really just a choice between necro because of the soloing/fd and shaman.

yah if you're actually there paying attention, I agree, Necro would be great. I love having FD on TLPs. You wont really want to solo for exp often, but soloing camps as a necro is easy and being able to FD off trains is great. Both ones you make and others make lol.

If you get chardok faction in Kunark, you can snipe a lot of named in there with a necro.

Shaman is good, but a little busier if you're the main healer as well. Most of the dps classes are not really sought after except to fill out the group. Nobody is in General asking for a necro in particular, so if you're looking for a desired group member you'd prob be better with a cleric or tank. Shadowknight might fit the bill, since tanking is mostly just throwing clinging darkness on things through the leveling process.

I don't think you even need the /stand part.

/assist main
/pet attack
/cast 1 (or whatever)
/pause 50 (or whatever)
/sit

May need a pause before the cast to account for aggro, but otherwise should work. Will stand automatically on the cast. Could probably string two nukes into this hotkey if aggro isn't an issue (or with a large enough pause beforehand). Then you're literally pressing one key per fight. Just need to press it right away in fights so you don't lose pet DPS.
Not standing is a death sentence for mages

I don't know what you all are smoking but wizard is THE lazy class to the point where it used to have an awful rep and many discussions about things like mana bar visibility would reference wizard afkability. Having to get into melee or send a pet every mob is anti lazy if lazy means you are browsing pornhub or whatever. Wizard is the only class that doesn't need to send in a pet and doesn't have to watch health bars. It's the best option and nothing else comes close.

Again, he wants to contribute, but do it in an easy way, not scam some group into letting him in while he goes and fucks off for 2 hours.

I had a Grieg's group with an AFK bard that claimed to have Cerebral Palsy to explain why he never hit anything and just sat there playing songs.

Pretty sure it was just someones box they wanted to get free levels on.
Yo i make up bullshit like this when i wanna ditch pugs.

On Aradune i once left a pug by typing "HOLY SHIT MY CAT IS ON FIRE GTG" then /Qed.

Next day ended up in a group with the same Cleric and he asked me if my Cat was okay.:trump:

Also, who the hell told Atabishi to let things go and ignore what is being said? He apparently listened and this thread isn't as fun, now.

Lol you guys have already flattered me enough though. I mean, people here made me in to a raid boss essentially. Most of the people posting and pushing for more and more posts in here or on discord are just a collection of people who have lost to me in some form or another across the TLP's or lost to TEB on aradune. People couldn't beat me in game, so they formed the equivalent of a SJW twitter mob to attempt to raid me on here. They had to go basically recruit a "guild" of forum warriors out of a collection of losers, and when there has been so many of them it's easy to find em. Trust me, I'm not saying I've never lost or will never lose. I've been playing online games for 26 years and losing is a part of gaming. I've played league for 9 years, trust me I'm used to losing. It'll be ok.

The obsession is truly flattering but I feel sorry for several of you. I'm a singular person. It wouldn't matter how much shit I talk or how much shit you think I talk, I'm one person. It could never match the levels of combined insane obsession you guys have of me and always have had of me. One of my first posts on this forum years ago was literally by request because people on here couldn't stop talking about me. It's always been that way. You can post as many PM conversations as you want, it's never bothered me in the least bit. I know and the people posting them know that prior to posting them they go through and delete/edit all incriminating messages that could be used against them or to delete context from a conversation. That's good enough for me that they know. You can make as many claims as you want about me lol and it will never bother me. This is the internet. If your egos are being hurt so bad by something you can literally turn off at any point in time you want, I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry that you are obsessed with me.

I still think bard is the way to go. "Hey guys, I'm new to the class and a terrible puller and will probably just get you killed. Is it OK if I just sing songs and do a little damage for you guys?"

Necro can be a pseudo mage, but if you're really wanting to be a good necro it's pretty high effort since you'll be charming, CCing etc.

I'll be a necro (and sometimes two necros). Pray for me

Also accepting any 1-50 necro advice. Have a pretty good concept of what spells to use when as far as farming/DPS goes, but I could use more knowledge of the intricacies.

Is this you finally admitting that you lost that fight against 3 navy seals? Because I can't take anything you ever say seriously with that claim on record still.

I just want something that contributes but I don't need to be a 13year old spaz to play well. I don't want to get carried, I just want to be able to smoke a joint or two while I play.

This is why I think I may end up with a necro. I am going to miss FD too much.
Bro, have you never played EQ before? There's not a single fucking class the requires you to play like a spaz. EQ is and always has been the ultimate boomer game.

Sure, there are some classes that are a little "sweatier" than others, but in a full group? Pretty much every class is chill as shit. Main puller and MT can be tough to go AFK with, but by no means is it sweaty.

Main puller monks are literally the best afk class for short afk bursts. Noone expects you to actually dps, so you pull 40 mobs and feign, smoke a cig, come back do it again. Ezpz

If you got a good group going hard, ench and cleric can be sweaty. In any normal grouping situation most classes are easy as shit.

Yeah, bard and enchanter always seemed spaz to me. Maybe bard not so much with melody now. I did cleric through Kunark and then played mostly monk through GoD. Both were pretty chill. I'm not looking to slack but I never really played any other classes than those two, so was curious if there was better choices than necro or shaman for something useful but laid back, while at the same time being able to solo reasonably well when I'm not feeling social.

I appreciate all the feedback.
