SK/Monk or Rogue/Cleric does sound fun. Is War/Monk or Rogue/Cleric pretty viable? I know losing some of the SK's utility would be a potential downside. I have no idea how most of these AAs play out post-PoP. Furthermore, I'm guessing monk would be more for later expacs as they get better.

I definitely want to solo, or have the capability. I'm also leaning towards no pet classes.

I REALLY like rogue in most builds because it offers so much. Super sneak/hide lets you move around almost anywhere unseen, poisons are great and can assassinate up to level 62. I have a war/clr/monk and it has crazy burst with cleric epic/summoned hammer. At 50 I was able to easily nuke down cazic for example before the zone ass blasted me and could just FD after he died and loot at my convenience. Cleric also lets you gate out of places if FD isn't clearing agro and you cant bazaar portal (happens a lot in PoF).

Personally I would ditch the cleric for something like bard for haste or sun for heals/slow.
Let’s face it, normal mobs are all insta gibbed by any combo at high AA levels so it’s all about utility/raid targets. As a cleric you are not really gonna CH yourself during a fight so I’d rather have more burst dps

the clr has a bunch of oh shit buttons and a 6mins cd power up aura when you mass pull an entire zone and helpful wards. Only became more apparent after like 200ish AAs with SK's life tap and more crit heals to stay up alive. Rog is there to proc their poisons and weapon procs too. sk/clr/rog

You'll never cast CH but with all the healing AA's fast casts like Divine Light are going to heal for a ton. Cast it a ton in VP especially on Nexona and Phara Dar to stay alive during those dmg bursts or while trying to cure PD's stupid slow dot off.

How does gearing work on this server? Since you are 3 different classes, do you gear for the tanky part of your build? dps? I can't imagine you gear at all toward healing.

You can wear anything your 3 classes can wear.

Depends on how much you want to solo. Feels like pali/monk/rogue doesnt have enough healing to take on the end game of things. Paladin also feels like it might be a gotcha in the end as its REALLY strong vs undead and if not for that I'd rather have anything else. War/Clr/Bst is probably good but I hate dealing with pets. I'm doing SK/Rogue/Clr and feel like there's not really a limit to what I can do even if I might kill slower than some other builds.

I'm running sk/rog/clr as well. I'm at 700ish AA. Can solo everything but PD. Like it's not even close. The difficulty spike is crazy. I got him down with a buddy, but I'm interested in your strategy so I can farm solo.

There's 2 earings in chardok that drop from Grand Herbalist(?) i think, one is cure poison the other is cure disease and they're like .5 - 1sec cast. Can use the poison one to get rid of the slow after 4-5 casts. At the end when the 6 drakes spawn I hit the rogue counterattack disc. The 2 and 4 spawns i just focus down while making sure the slow stays cured and healing myself at ~50% life to full just to ensure I don't get burst down by PD getting some lucky hits. I killed her twice but the loot was so underwhelming in VP i just stopped going back.

I tried War/Clr/Mag originally and was having fun. I found the AA grind really slow so rolled a fresh Pal/Mnk/Mag.

AA grind with Pal is insane. Plan is to get to 1k aa, have 100 saved in the bank and then use the free class change to switch Pal out for something else but not sure what yet!

It's everquest so early on most stats don't actually matter. AC, spell power, and heroic stats like hdex are the only stats that really do anything so gear accordingly.

keep in mind that there are world buffs pretty much always up that cap your haste and give a metric fuckton of mana regen along with run speed and a ton of other things.

I tried VP but only having the little low level cure disease that SK's get i was basically slowed the whole time and just died a bunch, going to check out those clicky earrings, what are they called?

Just get a shield of the immaculate. Instant cast cure disease. Doesn't really help for poison, but for Hoshkar and other various shit, it's great.

Got a wind saber to drop and enjoying the Rng/brd/mage will stick with it because eventually I will get chroloblast and a decent HoT. Brd self haste proc song is huge dmg on its own and the utility is insane. The aoe slow with 550% string mod makes everything all but stand still. Also sitting at the max 220 in combat hp regen. Mage does mage stuff.

Can’t solo VP but rather group for that stuff anyway.

oh rip.

spent weeks in hate doing that loop where the shield drops (NW corner) and let so many shields of the immaculate just rot, took forever to sell any I did loot, etc. Now i check bazaar and they are 15k-25k?

the earrings are shm/clr only unfortunately can't use them, but the shield at least is clickable from inventory. the earring isn't, i just learned the hard way after buying one lol

Yeah sadly earing requires one of the 3 healing classes to use (clr/shm/dru).

Ok with using the shield clicky from inventory hoskar went down super easily. I was using him as a gear/aa/comp check and his slow was absolutely destroying me since my sustain and dps is based on dealing dmg with lifetap procs, so i pretty much wrote off VP before.

I'll have to see how much I can clear after this next work meeting. I know PD is supposed to be a tier above in difficulty so maybe can't kill him but let's see how far I can go.

sk/bst/clr has been really strong so far, did Inny at 350 AAs during classic and PD at level 54, granted I did have 1200 AAs by then. Procs are the majority of your damage for bosses, tap procs are a little inconsistent but I rarely have to cast a heal for raid mobs. You get 3 invulnerabilities, mortal coil, leech disc and deflection disc which makes swarming very very easy, I've done the entirety of nadox in 1 pull just for fun, took longer to pull than to kill. You don't get AoE procs like warriors cause they're tied to the war only weapons, but you can just load up all the cleric AoEs.

By the way, as a Shaman you should get the AA slow. It is insanely good. No cast time, 8 seconds reuse and lands on everything (PD etc.). Might resist a few times, but a huge help in longer fights.

I've said it before, but I think Shaman is really going to come to the forefront of the "meta" in Velious, simply because the fights are so much longer and their slow makes things so much easier for long fights. I think massive DPS builds like pet cucks will still dominate, but Shaman will start getting added to a lot more.
