I'm jumping back in...

<DIV>I've been out of the EQ2 world for almost a year.  When I left, I had just hit level 70 swash and 64-65 weaponsmith.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is... what's changed?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Any advice on what to cut my teeth on to get back in the game?  I just got EoF, so I'll install that and obviously want to check it out, but anything else I should know?  Have they made any major modifications to the way we play our class?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks!</DIV>

<div></div>Lots. I only play my Paladin on raids now, as I love my swashie alt.We're top tier DPS with the new AA changes.We're 2nd rate tanks. (for a rogue, that's freaking impressive)We're fun to play and seem to have the best demeanor out of every class in the game. (other classes are whiney, disgruntled, and jealous)(Maybe it's just coming from a strictly raiding Paladin that makes me feel this way, and please bear in mind that I'm only lvl 46.)My feeling from a long time ago was Swashbucklers were good-aligned rogues who dual-wielded and battled with aggro issues.Now I see Swashbucklers carrying 1-handed weapons, offering to tank for groups, and using more /flirt emotes than is necessary. It seems that Swashies are the Metrosexuals of Norrath. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>(wanted to add that at 46, I'm doing 270-300 dps, which is usually about 2x as much as 2nd place, and about 3x as much as the other members in the group)<p>Message Edited by kellan123 on <span class=date_text>01-19-2007</span> <span class=time_text>01:38 PM</span>
