I am definately looking forward to playing an Iksar BL.

It's a shame really, my SK is finally on the home stretch and I"m already planning to retire it.

I am absolutely amazed people can say with a straight face that BLs will be overpowered. Nobody knows what they'll be. Ok, they're tier 1 DPS. They're going to have to be good at SOMETHING. Did you think they'd intentionally make a class which was second rate at everything (they often do it unintentionally but not intentionally)? I'd love to have a DPS class and I hate the assassin. In fact I hate all the scouts. It'll be a nice change.

They biggest thing I remember about the BL in EQ1 was they were decent soloers in a game where soloing was virtually nonexistent. At the time I was playing (pre-PoP) if you could solo at all above 30 you were doing pretty well. I guess it got easier later but I wasn't playing then. Obviously that won't be enough in EQ2 where everyone can solo. I knew one guy in EQ1 who killed the same two trolls over and over again for something like 5 levels because they were about the only thing he could find which he could solo at those levels. It's hard to believe we put up with that.
