Class Discussion

[Groz]

Hello all, I have created a website called EQ2explorer.wordpress.com.  My plan for this site is to chronicle my journey in EQ2 through the life of a new character.  I want to chronicle the life of a new toon from level one trough level seventy.  I played EQ2 at launch for about six months; recently starting again with the addition of Echoes of Faydwer.  I currently have the following characters: 1.   26 conjuror 2.   22 swashbuckler 3.   17 monk 4.   16 warden I love playing all of these toons, and think that conjuror would be a great class to use for this journey.  However, I kind of don't want to start a new character for a class that I already have.  What class do you think would be interesting for this website?  Please note that I play on a pvp server, nagafen, and that I would like to be a fast, effective soloer. Thank you for your guidance.  I hope that you check out my website once the journey begins. Regards, Fred

<p>Hi!</p><p> Sounds like an interesting idea, but need a bit more information.</p><p> How do you plan on getting to 70?  Purely solo? Through quests? Groups? A mixture of all?  Knowing that will let you narrow down choices a bit as some are much more group oriented than solo and would make the journey differently.</p><p>Do you plan to raid and chronicle some of that as well?</p><p>Ultimately, the choice is the one you like best.  A 20s conjurer is not really all that high level anymore and you could get back to that point in a day if you are hardcore, about a week otherwise, so if you like that best, don't be afraid to reroll!</p>

Assassin? Could be an interesting read if you like to roleplay one... But since all your characters are from Qeynos... How about a bard (Troubadour/Dirge) who would write the ballad of his travels?

You should make at least 1 Freeport class to spice things up, Qeynos ones tend to be more cookie-cutter, where FP's sway to different ends of the DPS/Squishy scale. Maybe a Bruiser or Brigand? <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Any other thoughts?

<p>Be a pirate, choose swashbuckler <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p> I had really fun leveling up my swashy to level 70.</p>

<p> I think this is great idea and it would really work with any class you could choose. From a purely PVP standpoint, a Fury would really fit the Lone Wolf soloer bill I would think. A couple of things I would consider if doing this. </p><p>What type of chronicle are you keeping? Narrative? Diary?  1st person or 3rd person?</p><p>Are you keeping with the lore of EQ2?  Are you embellishing storylines or sticking strictly with what this character does on his journeys?</p><p>Are you researching the character class and possible personalities types to go along with this class?</p><p> The possibilties are endless, but to make it a good read, you need to do some background work, develop the idea and have some exciting PVP battles.  I am looking forward to following your progress. Good Luck and Have fun writing.</p>

Can't go wrong rolling a fury on a pvp server IMO.

[Novusod]

I would recommend a warden because they will usually beat equally geared furies in PvP and are very good questers.

Does this concept of a website interest you? Some of my ideas so far as to show the characters experiences as he levels.  I am not planning on this being a roleplay discussion.  More an exploration of the game itself where I review different zones, critique game play, suggest things for people to try, discuss game mechanics including pvp mechanics, etc. I also thought that I would ask the readers what I should do next.  You can help direct the live of this toon.

Which ever class you choose I suggest going thru exile with it.  Should make for some interesting stories there being on Nagafen and all.
