What will be your starting race/class

JigawattsJigawatts Member UncommonPosts: 48
in EverQuest Next

Let's just say, for the sake of this thread, that they implement a class system in EQN. What do you plan to be your starting characters/main characters race and class, and why?

I will most likely be rolling a Wood Elf Druid...and hopefully not falling off the bridges of Kelethin :P

As for the why, if you can't tell from my avatar, I'm all about classes with versatility.

 

*this is not a thread to argue over the merits of a class based system vs a skill based system, it is merely for fun to discuss future hypothetical characters.

    Iksar Shadow Knight if possible, or Ratonga Enchanter or Troll Shaman.

    Dark Elf Necromancer or Warlock for the main and probably Barbarian Guardian for alt.

    Wife will probably go with Half Elf Druid and probably some offensive caster class for alt.

    If they have classes, and not a skill tree system, it would be a Dark Elf Necro, played one in EQ1 and was my favorite class ever, for class based systems.

    Never played Everquest but I would want to play some sort of Dark Elf, Death Knight type of class.  Something with Melee/Magic & Heavy Armor is always my preferred style of play.

    Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!

    Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!

    Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!

    I'm thinking I would probably go Dark Elf SK or Necro.....leaning more towards the Melee. I played a Paladin for years on EQ1 Emarr, time to spend quality time on the other side of the fence.

    You sir are looking for the Darkelf Shadow Knight, As for mine it would have to be a Human bard (starting in Qeynos) or a High elf enchanter.

    Definitely a Necro for me.  I'll wait to see how the faction system rolls out before I consider races.  I always found being KoS to be a bit hindering.

    I rember reading back in 2009 about how they were gonna make all races in eq playable in eqn including races like gnolls,centures,giants and goblins. If it is true i would love to be a ranger centaur or warrior sand giant lol.
  • DejoblueDejoblue Member UncommonPosts: 307

    Wood Elf Druid

    Dwarf Warrior or Guardian whatever tanks.

  • baphametbaphamet Member RarePosts: 3,311

    some sort of healer/support class like my ogre shaman i had back in the day.

    if they have ogre shamans, that's what i will likely be as long as i like the character model.

    i hope they keep the same kind of race and class combos, even if it is a sandbox game.

    not really a fan of skill based systems but if EQN has that, i will shape my character to be the best healer/support class he can be.
