Antonia and Lucan classes ? :)

[Milamber_le_mage]

<div>In your opinion, which classes are antonia and lucan ? and why</div><div> </div><div>Antonia : a wizard . She is wearing clothes who seems to be cloth armor and she is powerful.</div><div> </div><div>Lucan : a shadowknight . the more evil class for me :smileywink:</div>

[Delameko Stone]

Antonia is a leader <span>:smileywink:</span>Lucan is a Fallen Paladin.p.s. I think this thread will be moved...

[Wargod1968]

<div></div><div></div><p>Lucan's old class is not up for debate. He is in EQ lore, a former Paladin turned most-likely, into (my guess) a Shadowknight.</p><p>Antonia.. good question. I'd go with a Wizard, too - since she seems to be big on blasting things, is good, and doesn't apparantly rely on pets, and I've never caught her using disease or poision based spell effects to my knowledge.</p><p>Message Edited by Wargod1968 on <span class="date_text">04-05-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:54 AM</span></p>

But I almost think that Lucan is beyond a single class definition. He's a 500+ year old lich who's had a lot of time to refine his techniques and talents.In my opinion Lucan is working towards becoming a demi-god. He has a carefully designed cult, followers, immortality and a mystique that only a handful of characters that still walk in Norrath can touch. His sense of drama and theatrics (like the talking statues, and "in your face" floating fortress) lends a legendary aura to a person who is so much a part of Freeportian's everyday lives, but isn't seen in the flesh.</span></div>

[Themaginator]

first thing you need to realize to answer this question is that not everyone in the lore has a class it is possible to practice magic created by ones self or combine magics of different proffesions if your powerful enough (heck my character, a Conjurer, has the ability to weild blades because he was taught by his Pally father in the story im writing).  thinking of that though Lucan is deffinately a Lich hes a fallen Pally and is cursed/immortal Antonia hmmm id say maybe some Druid some Pally maybe<div></div>

In the lore leading up to EQLive he was however, but by the time players enter Norrtah, his powers had already been stripped by Mithanial Marr. His class in the actual game wasn't clear.Soulfire was the Paladin Epic 1 weapon and was exclusive to paladins in EQLive, but the EQ2 lore about Soulfire says that Shadowknights claim the blade as their own too so the "class specific" nature of the weapon was a game mechanics issue more than a lore one.The Combine Empire's mage, Grieg, who later went insane on the moon of Luclin also studied geomancy. Geomancy literally means "earth magic" in relation to dealing with elements and the planet's own power. It can be argued that EQLive's mages practiced a watered down version of geomancy with their elemental magic. Over time, magicians could've augmented different schools of magic to the core geomancy to make it more well rounded, such as summoning.I still feel if Lucan were to have to be classified, he's more shadowknight than anything. But I think he's a unique hybrid class.</span></div>

<div></div><p>It is impossible to pin a class on either of these ultra-uber humans.  They both wield items and powers that condradict any one class, or even a combo of similar classes.  Either one would dessimate an opponent just as easily and handily using their weapons, or any type of magic they chose, or just with their bare hands.  Think about it... Lucan has had 500+ years to delve into any and all of the abilities and intricasies of all of the classes and in the process, add some uniquely his own.  Antonia, on the other hand, is from a long line of royalty with plat and power to burn, giving her nearly unlimited resources for her own study and acquisition of skills and objects of power.</p><p>They are both a conglomerate of the best of all classes with some added flavor not of any class, but Antonia's mix leans toward the good while Lucan's toward the evil.  It wouldn't surprize me to find somewhere, hidden deep within the tomes of lore, that the two of them are actually from the same bloodline (<em>Listen to the DarkSide Antonia, for I am your great-grandfather... NOOOOOOO!!!! - just had to do that. :mantongue: </em>)</p>

<div></div><p>im pretty positive on one thing that lucan is just an unber powerful sk</p><p>In eq 1 he was the leader of the warriorm guild ironicly but if you ought him he would die turn into an sk and would ht you now cross that out for now we got 500 years on him hes freaken smart and freaken old and by now probobly knows more than a necro and a sweet combat fighter which pretty much is what a sk and necro/war mix,</p><p> </p><p>antonia yeah im pretty sure as stupid as that monk thing is its very very possable</p><p>dev noted that she holds a pretty powerful item if he was refering to the staff then we now know she is currently the owner of two powerful items. The staff of uberness and the quenos claymore (i spelled it wrong big deal) both whitch may have a unknown amount of og physicly and mentaly imbueing propertys the monk buisness makes since becuase if i beleive correctly she was born in that island in the ocean of tears whitch was full of really bad [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] monk chicks (thats hot think about it limber.....) anyway it could be assumed that maybe Antonia really could kick your but up and down the street but hey lucan still looks more intemidating</p>
