    Heya everyone!.

    When EQ2 launched, I played for just a couple months (I blame WoW). So i could only lvl an illusionist and a paladin to around 30ish.

    Now I'm really in the mood of giving this game another try but I'm completly lost so I'd like to ask a few questions in the hope of not starting 100% clueless.

    1- I've seen you get a char boost if you buy the last expansion or if you pay coins. Should i do it? or just play the game from 0 and experience all of it?

    2- I guess I'll mostly be playing alone for now, untill I find a guild or ppl to play with. So I'm not sure what class should i play.
    I'm experienced with all roles as I've been a mmo player for soooo many years. But reading a bit about descriptions and player opinions ... I think I'd like to roll either a Necro in the dps role, or any healer who is capable of soloing and grouping (not looking for raids atm, so I wouldnt choose based on raids).

    What healer would you guys recomend?

    Can Necro find groups if i decide to go the full dps route instead?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.:)

    Necros can for sure. A good solo healer would be fury snd warden, as they do the *most* dps of healers and have HoTs and heal procs.

    healer --> shaman

    necro are in a good spot, so are conjurers

    better boost a DPS to lvl 100 a go from there, but maybe also level another toon just to get the feeling. getting a toon to lvl 100 when u aren't used to the game may be a bit overwhelming

    Up until level 100 druids are the best... Shamans are only really good once in endgame. I'd recommend boosting the necro and playing through with a warden.

    Thanks a lot for your advice.

    I think ill start leveling a Warden from scratch and save the char boost for a few weeks and see how things go.

    Welcome back!

    Just a little heads-up: If you are planning to do any of the Kunark Ascension / Epic 2.0 stuff, rolling a new lvl 95/100 will have to do a LOT of old content. Personally, I prefer to run and experience it from the beginning. Hope you enjoy the Warden. I have to admit to being partial to Druids, myself. :)
