Okay I am sure some of you will tell me I should read other threads on this, but after being on numerous forums and reading tons of threads I am still kinda lost. That being said my issue is simple enough... I cant decide what class to be!

I played eq1 for years with a lvl 80 pali and a warrior. I tried the cleric thing too but I wasnt thrilled with it. I really like being able to inflict and take damage while casting too. I hear that the pali on eq2 is different than eq1. I was thinking maybe a Shadowknight since that seems to be the most similiar to the style I enjoy.

At the same time though I dont want to be a me too class and have a hard time grouping. I am playing on the permafrost server. So anymore info on the pali or shadowknight would be appreciated. Any other suggestions would be great too.

I just want to get back to a game I can truly enjoy!

hmmm, theres only 1 real suggestion to this, and thats try them all. You seem to like doing damage and taking hits and casting, so a SK/Pally does seem best, but maybe you could consider a monk/bruiser, they dont really cast, its more button bashing, but fun to play.

As i said above, cant really help you with this, its just a case of try them all, you have 7 character slots, use them

Have you considered Inquisitor or warden? They are healer classes, which makes it easier to group, but they have AA lines that give them massive melee bonuses and turn their damage spells into CAs so you have your choice anytime you want to get in there and mix it up, or hang back and nuke. By what you are saying I'd lean inquisitor cuz of the plate armor but I'd suggest trying that on for size too.

But yeah, judging by what you are saying I'd say SK or Pally would be your best bet, and I would try SK first.
