What are the character classes of the Ethernauts?

[jasonwade]

<p>This question has been bothering me lately - especially during my last visit to Palace of Ferzhul when I was given the chance to meet the Ethernauts in person.  Several of the classes are pretty self explanatory - but a few seem vague to me (or maybe I just haven't read the right in-game lore yet).  Any insight into this?  Best guesses or a list matching names to classes? </p>

<p>Bayle - Warrior</p><p>Kruzz - Warrior for what we can assume. He only swung his cleaver once or twice.</p><p>Nurgg - Brawler if only for the fact that he prefered to use fists, though ogres never practiced anything close to his style in their entire existance.</p><p>Kaltuk - Cleric, obviously</p><p>Twiddy - Never specified as he never fights</p><p>Fiddlewiz - Ditto</p><p>Asharae - Wizard</p><p>Illisia - Ranger, despite the Barbarians never showing interest in it either.</p><p>Eylee - Bard</p><p>Roadyle - Miragul himself, who has completely mastery over Necromancy, Sorcery, Conjuration, and Phantasmagoria. (Necro, Wizard, Mage, Enchanter)</p>

<p>judging from Kruzz's general lore, I'd say he's closest to a shaman. lots of fetishes, very superstitious. and you might consider his 'cooking' in many cases to be closer to 'potion making' then anything else.</p><p>Twiddy and Fiddle mostly seemed to just be crafters. Twiddy being a carpenter/woodworker and Fiddle being a tinkerer.</p>

<p>Doesn't Miragul understand Geomancy as well?</p><p>Fiddlewiz is obviously a tinkerer! (which is an EQ1 racial ability)</p><p>Most of the Ethernaughts don't fit nicely into a single class, EQ1 or EQ2. Like most literary works the characters do what they do, not what a class in game would be like.</p>

[Cusashorn]

<p>Yeah but she's still a Barbarian. You could probably call her a proto-ranger too.</p>

<p>One thing that is consistant with EQ NPC's is that they usually don't fall into the same class categories PC characters are forced into.  So, trying to guess which classes they are is often a difficult thing, since they don't follow our rules.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

NPC's that had special abilities like raid bosses and stuff were still a warrior, cleric, monk, enchanter, druid, or any of the other classes by design.</p><p>This really isn't relevant to anything, I'm just making mention of it.</p>
