I made a paladin on Phinny and hated it so bad. 1-50 is a blast, you always have a group. Farming planes is ok, there are usually few paladins so you fill up on loot pretty quickly. But raiding blows, soloing anything is either stupid slow, or flat out impossible. I mean, they get their shine time starting in Velious, but man it's a long wait until then. SK is the only tank I'd consider these days.

Well, I rerolled a troll shaman. God, leveling is slow solo. Think it took me 4 hours to get to level 5 (plus getting used to the game again after 2-3 years). I forgot how annoying they made Innothul and the Feerrott with mixing difficulties. I might try rolling a halfling cleric next to see how that goes once I get to level 9 on the shaman (Gotta have SoW first)
A bunch of people want to do shaman already, so I might go cleric since no one has volunteered for it yet

Leveling is odd. The very first few levels are just miserable. When you are level 3 and punching level 1 snakes the exp is horrible. Leveling actually speeds up for a time once you finish the initial slog. It is a big part of why organized grouping is so helpful. Stabbing an endless sea of yellows with a group is so much better you can hardly believe it.

Pretty much, it's a level or 2 of punching whites and yellows until you can get burst of flame. Then you run to the Feerrott to kill Lizards for quick gold from weapons to buy some bags and spells. Once you have some spells and gate, it starts to pick up, but the first few levels are terrible.
Once you get Frost, you can one shot half the blues, but the Feerrott has a crap ton of stuff to jump you that's yellow+ while you're trying to get the gold in.
That's also my first time leveling from scratch in that area in like 15 years too. I'm sure I can do it twice as fast as that the second time around anyway

Wizards are amazing in classic and velious and luclin, good in PoP too, but kunark is fucking awful as a wizard.

The best mage tricks from live that I am sure wont work anymore...
Bolt spells hitting twice by standing at a certain elevation, talk about dps.
Low level earth pets could root any mob in the game for a time, even raid bosses. I used to CC some shit in PoP. You could also single pull pretty much anything by SoWing a low lvl pet and attack/back off until it cast on it from range.
I used to have a clay bracelet from a sol ro temple quest, it had instant click Eye of Zomm. Pretty innocuous but they caused so many bugs. The best was they had it programmed to count as a pet for a while. You could summon a mage pet, then click zomm, mele kill the eye, and the server would think your pet was dead so you could summon another. I think I could summon about 40 before my fps was shit. Some great late night farming there when noone was around.

I had only played on Sleeper prior to RF/LJ and Sleeper and Sleeper wasn't anything like RF/LJ. At all. Were Mages also commoditized slave labor on the other prog servers? Not only did we get super boxers (40+ types) eating up raid content and warping the economy but tons and tons of people had squads that they used for farming and PLing.

People used mages for different purposes, mine mainly was to lock down Drusella Sathir in Kunark for the expansion. Most of the 40 box guys on Ragefire were RMTing I would guess.
It's not an issue on Phinny much and wont be on Agnarr. The true box code does a decent job but can still very easily be circumvented with VM Ware.
