Getting started?

[Serendia]

Hey all,I'm new to EQ2 and have been looking around the forums for ideas on what to make in terms of a character.  I played a cleric on EQ1 for 6 years and decided I needed something a little less stressful and a little more fun (don't get me wrong, I had fun, but I'm just tired of healing!).  I think I've settled on swashbuckler as a class / gnome as a race (I LOVE gnomes, no jokes!).  Is there any advice / basic information you guys can give me to get me started on my way?Thanks!<div></div>

didn't create my character yet, at work reading the boards and such whenever I can, can't wait to go home and do just that, jump right in!I was looking around, probably going to join Najena since I know one or two people on it, not many and I don't know how much they play, but its a start.What is the primary stat for scout classes? Agi? And is that the only one I really need worry about? I know stats mean different things in EQ2 than they did in EQ1 so its still a bit of a learning curve!

u need agi for increasing power and increasing ur ability to dodge melee. After that i would suggest sta for more hit points. cause more health is always a good choice.<div></div>
