Humor an EQ2 Noob.
I've got a couple of questions regarding EQ2, in terms of race/class distribution. I've tried to find information on what "cookie cutter" or "you can't really go wrong" races that would be applicable to certain classes. I keep reading things like "It doesn't matter what race you pick, anything works, nothing is game breaking." That may be the case, but is there a post I haven't seen for a pro/con of different races for classes? Are there certain races that do better for end game for the respective classes?
I'm leaning towards a few class/race combos:
Necromancer (Iskar)
Shadow Knight (Iskar, or Sarnak)
Paladin (Human, Barbarian, Kerran or High Elf) *rather confused on this one
Dirge (Wood elf/Dark elf)
Fury or Warden (Wood elf/High elf?)
A buddy of mine is leaning towards: Monk/Bruiser (isn't sure if he wants to be good/evil yet), and possibly Swashbuckler. Are there better options to accompany him? I tend to solo a lot, hating the constant reliance of others to play a game if I wanna play, but would hate to play a class that doesn't really bring anything to accompany a small group.
Not really looking for anything huge in terms of raiding or anything like that. I had my fill from WoW, Illidan really wasn't all that spectacular, and having to listen to 24 other idiots bitch about something got really old. I don't mind solo'ing, or duo'ing, or small parties, and would rather prefer to keep my game play in that route. Am I going in the right direction?
Thank you in advance.
