I was fine with pulling on Warrior because I could crowd control.
EDIT: Enchanter mana regen and haste stacked with Beastlord haste and mana regen. It was great. And with the haste of the Ench, the class with the best haste in the game, my Warrior and Beastlord were effectively DPS classes. At least the Beast was. The Beastlord also gets great haste for the Pet, and the pet is a powerhouse. Just because I did not have a DPS caster, my DPS was greater because of all my haste on my tanks and pet. The Cleric also gets a pet I used, which was good for DPS but could not tank.
Moderate, please do not ban me. At least just remove this section if you do not like this. I am honestly trying to help this person. I cannot name it by name, but if you wanted to start over, you should get on the private server, where you can 2 box. It is very easy to find groups, the noobie areas are thriving.
With that Anniversary Edition i had been thinking about rejoining EQ & attempting two-boxing. i remember when i played EQ years ago many players were doing so. Seems to progress in EQ though this might almost be necessary which is sad. To begin anew in EQ with the steep progression rate seems really daunting though. EQ used to be fun though! To bad it went the path of raid to survive. That harmed many casual players' chances for progress especially when the player population declined rapidly. If SOE ever enhanced the progression rate of EQ, at least compared to a few years ago, then i would really consider it, but i always hear conflicting results about that issue.
Does anyone know if it's possible to play two different EQ accounts per say for two-boxing on one Station All Access Account? What i mean is if i wanted to rejoin EQ trying to two-box different accounts but on the same Station All Access Account? Thanks to anyone that might know. i was just wondering since if SOE ever fixes Vanguard enough i would want to retry it as well.
One account would be all access for I think $29.95, you would pay $14.95 for the other. All access is for one account, I had one through Stormhammer when I played EQ. Man I miss that server, all adult server because of the $40.00 monthly fee.
I like Wiz, Wiz, Cleric, SK (or Warrior), or perhaps Warrior, Monk, Wiz, Cleric. I 3 boxed Cleric, Warrior, Enchanter and DPS is beyond pathetic. I don't see fights lasting long with 2 wizards pumping DPS so SK would be okay maybe even on bosses of significant power. Or you know Necromancer, Wizard, Warrior, Cleric would probably be the ultimate killer group with a few essense emeralds on the necormancer in case the cleric bites it. Necromancers can solo significantly powerful mobs solo is why they are a good addition, Warrior defensive is over-powered, and mana burn from the wizard burns mobs down (and you can't stack mana burn). Toss in lifeburn from the necromancer and a backstabbing pet and you got a sick DPS combo
I would say that the quad doesn't matter so much as long as your gear is alright. Don't forget that you want a toon that can port you around. Oh and don't forget to choose the coolest races!
Then again, the last time I played was POP. So I could be completely wrong.

I think you are making a big mistake in time and effort.
I used to quad, which was: Warrior, Cleric, Enchanter, and Beastlord. I thought it worked great.
Tank. Heal/Res/Buffs. CC/Haste/Slow. Buffs/Offtank/PetDps.

Boycott EA Games. RIP Sim City.
I think I'd throw a Shammy in there somewhere. Yeah, it'll take away from your dps, but will help with slow/healing/buffage.
This is so typical, you need to box multiple computers in everquest to be able to play it because people can't find groups anymore.
How pathetic is that.
Why not play a single player game then.
A bard is good with the songs you can have going. Maybe as a 4-boxer you might want a simple dps class if you're having to juggle too much.

Personally I would go, PAL, SHM, ENCH, DRU
I always liked that group make-up because you get alot.
Paladins can split pulls, hold good aggro, tank anything you can throw at them, heal, rez, buff.
Shamans for slow, buffs, DoTs, Regens (Torpor line ftw), extra little pet
Chanters for CC, buffs, buffs, buffs, charm for fun when you get bored
Druids for extra heals, nukes, ports, DAMAGE SHIELD (big one)
Or....
SK, BST, WIZ, CLR
Hrmph.... so many possibilities, lol. I wouldn't be able to make up my mind either.
My quad was:
Warrior, Enc, Cler, Necro/Wizard/Druid.
I would say that the quad doesn't matter so much as long as your gear is alright. Don't forget that you want a toon that can port you around. Oh and don't forget to choose the coolest races!

Ogre/Troll warrior... sooo cute.
All about the Erudite for wiz/enc/pure caster.
Dark Elf cleric is hawt.
Human druid ftw.
