New Coercer - Solo?

[hondo]

I am new to EQ2 and I am considering creating a Coercer. The catch is that I solo 99% of the time. How does a coercer do solo? <div></div>

[Cer]

I solo 99% of the time and I LOVE my coercer. He is great solo/duo and so much fun. I love looking for new pets and trying them out. You get better at it as you go up in level.

<P>IMO coercers r the strongest solo class, but also one of the, if not the, most difficult classes to play.</P> <P>Sometimes you will even draw a crowd while soloing, as alot of people are unfamiliar with the coercer and are amazed at the mobs we can solo.</P>

Thats good to hear. What are the main attributes for a coercer? Int? <div></div>

The possibilities are endless with a Coercer, but like Rell said, they are the hardest class to play, know your spells and know their limitations before trying anything difficult.</P> <P>Yes, INT is the stat you need, try to keep it as close to cap as possible (7 times level plus racial start)</P><p>Message Edited by Galn on <span class=date_text>06-27-2006</span> <span class=time_text>12:35 PM</span>

Coercers generally deal very poor dps and are useless if dead. My Coercer is based on Sta/hp,6k+ to all resists all the time, then Int.With my build, with a potion, I hit 520 Int exact and have every resist 6K+, mental and magic are like 8500ish.Coercers can solo mobs other players can't, it just takes us 25minutes to do so.Overall now, I love my Coercer alot more since LU24. They just have to fix the dam flickering icons.</div>

Talk about soloing, I just solo'd the Zan Fi instance (you know the small little zone with a ring event one) twice now... must say... coercers kick [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] soloing... First time got a bad [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] 2 hander, 2nd time I solo'd it i got a bad [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] 24 int ring <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>
