    cool. yeah, its seems fun, with all those classes and races :P

    i have another question, whats the most "show off" class? cause i would like to have to some cool attacks, like the illusionists copying themself, and druid shapeshift , rogue stealthing ect ect..

    I really dig eq2, its fun and the stories dive you in for a ride, and i think the community is awesome. So if you do choose eq2 to play look me up im haggly on the bazaar server, my guild is order of storms, good times, good people, i have no true complaints about the game.

    playing eq2 and two worlds

    The coercer does have some illusion spells to turn players into ratongas and trolls and stuff... but i don't think they have that many.

    they can copy themselfs too right?

  • dalessitdalessit Member Posts: 17

    Coercers have 2 illusion spells they can cast on themselves, charmed pets or others in their group, ratonga and troll.

    Warlocks can cast illusions of Frog, Bat & Rat on same targets.

    Other classes have illusion spells as well, they don't do anything other than change the way you look.

    A few healer classes can tranform into various animals and faries that actually will give them some buffs.

    but i saw a video on EQ2.com, and there it said " coercers are the expert of weakminds (or something). They can even shapeshift!" you know whats that all about?

    It'll depend how old it is.  As they did a class revamp a while back.

    Not sure where that came from.  I have a 70 coercer on Lucan D'Lere server.

    What they do.

    Mez single targets

    Mez group targets

    Provide power regen for group

    Provide single target hate buff and single target melee dps buff.

    Class defining trait is charming mobs, which allows you to take control (somewhat) of an enemy.  The higher level you are the longer you can keep them under control lvl 61  charm = 30 mins.  The pets can break on their own sooner kind of random type thing.  With the right pet and highest quality charm spell I can out dps just about any class, without a pet I barely parse ahead of healers.

    IMO it is one of the most challenging classes to play in a non-raid setting because of having to use a pet that you control, you can't make it cast spells or melee, that is random, some pets have better "scripts" than others.

    In a raid scenario we are mana-bots and buffers, charm and mez are pretty much useless in raids.

    when you say raid, what do you mean? like in wow? many peoples going in a instances killing HARDE bosses?

  • dalessitdalessit Member Posts: 17

    Never played WoW but sounds similar.

    Raid = taking 24 of your friends into a zone to kill nasty bosses.

    There are a few other things to do besides raiding in end-game eq2 but not many.

    SWG (RIP) had the best endgame content

    Necromancer and Summoner are the only ones that have full time pets that do something.  Rangers in EQ2 get a bird pet but it is just a fluff spell it doesn't do anything.

    Necro's are on the "evil" side Conj's are on the "good side"  there are a few differences between the classes but both do good dps and are excellent soloer's as well if that is your thing.

    You can have up to 6 toons with the normal EQ2 subscription so you can have a few classes going at the same time to see which one you like more.

    6 toons on the whole game? or just on one server? whole game i guess... anyways.... assains, can they like "stealth" in the middle of a fight? and run away or do a more damagin attack...

    Whole game, 10 if you get station access which gives you access to SWG(RIP) matrix and other soe stuff.

    Most scout types have stealth based attacks, it doesn't let them run away though any better than the rest of the classes.

    but wont they be harder to detect then? and against NPC, wont the remove the aggro?

  • lomillerlomiller Member Posts: 1,810

    In addition to their fun spell Rangers also get a limited bird pet at level 65 that drains aggro from non fighters in the rangers group.  Limited pets can’t be controlled the way a normal pet can, and disappear as soon as their target dies but in some cases they can be used to hold aggro and most are an effective long term DoT. 

    All scouts get an evac, which removes the group from the fight they are in and teleports them to a safe place in the zone.  Wizards and Wardens get an evac as well. 

    Stealth itself doesn’t remove aggro, but most scout classes do have abilities that reduce aggro.  They all have an ability called elude and some, like assassins have abilities that transfer hate towards the assassin into hate for someone else in their group, usually the main tank.

    about how much does the KOS game that includes the origanal EQ2 game cost?

    is there fun/good pvp?

    is there a trial when i buy KOS(the one with EQ2 too) ? how many days does the trial include? do i need a CC for the trial( the one with the originale game, not the internett one) ?

    EQ and EQ2?  Until SOE sells the games or is bought out, my choice is WoW.

    Which just goes to show you there’s no accounting for bad taste.
