Which class of the Dwarven kin besides cleric will be easily group-able or able to snag a group easily? I'm heavily leaning towards the Warrior & possibly Rogue but I'm curious to hear from EQ Fans
Paladin. There will be few tanks. A Pally will be welcome in any pickup group. They aren't that useful as a raider though.
In order of increasing difficulty (to get a group): Cleric Paladin Warrior Rogue However, it should be noted that a cleric is a 1/10 difficult (easy) finding a group and a rogue is only about a 6 (medium), so it won't be difficult for any of them. Rogue is probably going to be the toughest because DPS classes are everywhere on progression servers.
Rogue is also the most gear dependent of all "dps" classes in classic. Leveling up with a giant snake fang is painful.
Rogue main, I would not do rogue until kunark. It's horrifying and no one wants you in groups for good reason. unless you are addicted to rogue and an extreme masochist, just don't do it. Once Norrath is invaded by lizard men, your prospects for roguery greatly increase.
Sure paladins are useful in raids. Do you have any idea how many death touches I have eaten on islands 4, 5, 6, and 7? Including the Noble?
We primarily use ours to rez people so that our clerics aren't distracted. That seems to be about it. In groups they are pretty baller though.
