Quick, Reader's Digest version of my background/situation: Veteran MMO player Played EQ from 2000-2005 Coming back to the game, have two Heroic characters Used one to make a Shaman (was what I played back in the day) Have one left (unused at this time) Like to solo and group - want to be viable at both Have only played the Heroic Shammy for one day but he seems waaaay more squishy than in the past. Fought dark blues and whites. Mostly not too bad but when I got an add or Root broke my health dropped rather quickly. Pet was useless and died in about 4 hits. When I played in early 2000's he wasn't that way. Not sure if this is because I only have the heroic gear right now or not but it hasn't been nearly as fun as I remember it. I'm not giving up on him yet but it's got me thinking about my other unused Heroic. I'm looking for some insight on another class to play. I'm interested in the following: Magician (played one to about 50 back when I originally played) Beastlord Necromancer See the trend there.... LOL So questions/insight: Which is strongest soloer? Which is safest soloer (dealing with adds, multi-pulls, etc.)? Which is most desired in groups? Do Beastlords get a Feign Death like Monks do since they are hybrids? Is a Necro's way of soloing solely involve fear kiting or is Root rot viable? For Beastlords, is it basically tank -n- spank alongside your pet or is it more subtle than that? Thanks so much in advance for any info or insights you guys can provide. Safe hunting to all.
