Bards are even sometimes asked to pull for groups. Bards can crowd control like an enchanter, and even charm. Much of the complexity is now handled by the UI. Though nowhere near the complexity of "twisting" songs in the past, Bards still use multiple songs at once to string together various buffs for their groups. Bardīards buff a group and debuff the enemy through use of songs. Charming a pet can yield some of the highest damage in a group, so you WILL be expected to charm a pet at all times. Though harder to play for a newbie, the Enchanter is a powerful class in the hands of someone good at multitasking. They have clarity, which is the best mana regen group buff. They can mez (which renders enemy monsters unable to take action as long as they aren't damaged), charm (take an enemy as a pet), debuff, and buff. EnchanterĮnchanters are the kings of crowd control. Rangers can serve as a tank in a pinch during leveling zones, and even pullers. Rangers are a melee class during vanilla EQ, and gain access to Druid spells but lagged a few tiers behind. Though not as pathetic as they once were at the start of the game, Rangers are still a fairly weak class until later expansions. If you like being a late bloomer and prefer to be sneaky, a Rogue could be good. They're purely melee dps with few abilities, but decent damage. Rogues are much simpler in EverQuest than newer MMOs. Rogues are a very simple class early on, and due don't really come into their own for couple expansions. They can use blunt weapons as well, so be sure you're raising those skills. Due to broken hand-to-hand combat damage tables, Monks do significantly more damage they they really should for quite some time. Having the ability to feign death helps greatly for pulling. Groups will rely on you to go out and bring back monsters to the group. Monks are the "pulling" class in EverQuest. Due to their undead nukes, they're also very welcome in two of the best leveling spots in the entire game during the first 50 levels. Necromancers are arguably the best solo class in the game. This provide a huge boon to their solo ability. They can feign death, thus making an enemy think they are dead. Necromancers get a pet which does less damage than a Magician's, but still a significant damage source. One of the most dynamic classes in the game. Later on they get a spell to summon players in a raid and are jokingly brought along simply for this spell. Mages can nuke well, and are always welcome in a group. Early on, your pet will be a huge part of your damage but will always remains a nice source of dps even at later levels. Wizards, like Druids, can teleport around the world. Early on they are tough to solo with due to mana problems and having to keep monsters at a distance, but later on they can quad kite. If you enjoy simply nuking monsters, then a Wizard is a good choice. Wizards are the truest glass cannon in the game. They can off-heal well, buff the group, and even debuff monsters with an attack speed decrease debuff and magic resist debuff that every group will insist you use. Lastly, Druids get teleport spells which makes traveling (and having others tip you for a port) very easy. A good Druid can effectively "quad kite" which means kite four mobs at a time solo. Druids won't get groups as easy as a pure caster dps or a cleric, but that doesn't mean their value in a group isn't recognizable. While they dabble in everything, they specialize in nothing. They can heal, nuke, dot, buff, solo, and group.
Druidĭruids are one of the few truly 'jack-of-all-trade' classes. Clerics have access to a myriad of healing spells, buffs, and minor utility spells. The only pure healer, and by far the best healer in the game. They get a weak (nearly worthless) pet, and several abilities which help to hold aggro very well. Shadow Knights can access necromancer spells, but they lag behind in spell tiers as well. One of their best abilities is Lay on Hands which acts as a massive heal.
Paladins are great tanks early and later in the game. Paladins can even user weaker resurrect spells. Paladins can access the cleric line of spells, but they lag behind by several tiers. Solid class for anyone who enjoys tanking. Warriors can be tough to start because they lack the "snap aggro" abilities that a Paladin or Shadow Knight have, but they quickly (mid-late 20's) come into their own. The most straight forward tank of them all. For that reason, I'm going to go into a little more depth on each class to provide insights into their gameplay. Some classes listed as DPS become significantly more about Utility, and some listed as Utility can easily be the best DPS. The lists above don't paint a completely accurate picture.
