I just wanted to say to those who have not played yet, you don't have to get your class triad right the first time. The starting class is what matters, once you get to 10 you pick your 3rd class, but at any time you may be like meh, this SK isn't my vibe and change it. Then you might get to level 35 and have a new idea and then can change it up again and go kill things back at level 10.

Each triad is a new vibe, with a different play style and different pros and cons.

So far I have a

Dru/Monk/Shm at 50

War/Nec/Enc at 35

War/Pal/Brd at 25

Best part is, I can mix and match any of them for whatever role I want!

So don't worry about your planned triad being the best. It'll probably work. The only thing set in (temporary) stone is your starting Race and initial class. Just pick a primary class that feels like it jives with others and will be fun to you

Will characters joining the beta on july first (after preordering) get wiped or is it a soft launch?

Anyone try this out? On video? I'd love to see gameplay. That's my first planned trio.

Whenever people list their classes, I've noticed that no one seems to list the Beastlord as one of their classes. As someone who hasn't played EQ for over 20 years, I have a few questions:

1. For anyone in the beta, what are your impressions of how the Beastlord fares, compared to other classes?

2. Can you do a Beastlord/Monk combo? Or is the overlap wasted?

3. Can the Beastlord pet actually tank well in EQL?

4. Can anyone recommend good complimentary classes to go along with the BL?

Looking to take shaman over cleric for my build but it hinges on the viability of slow in the deep endgame. Are some of the pinnacle raid boss targets in D4 immune or highly resistant (like kithcore general rog epic resistant?). Shaman brings a LOT to the table but if slow is ineffective when it matters most it’s not nearly as appealing. Appreciate the insight as I’m holding for launch and won’t be personally testing.

I hope I dont get flamed for this too much, but I'm looking for an MMO for the Steam Deck. I'm very interested in MnM and have been loving the closed beta, but getting it to work on the deck has been a bit of a headache. I'm wondering if EQL will have baked in controller support or if thats something the community will have to do through the Steam Deck.

Why do I want to play this on the deck so badly? I grew up playing EQOA on the PS2 as my first MMO and I would absolutely love to relive that console MMO nostalgia. I know that EQOA was quite a bit simpler than EQ, but you'd think it would be very easy to translate the EQOA controller setup to EQL. Anyway, thanks for your time!

I’m running SHD / ROG / ZERK right now and the damage is just insane. Zerk in particular causes all other forms of melee bonus damage to come up off of CD faster, so reave, harm touch, backstab, kick, bash and frenzy are all up faster.

I’m not 15 yet though so I don’t have my biggest life tap yet or my automatic lifetap perk.

Rogue adds a slow via poison so I have that going for me. I wonder if on bigger fights I should consider poison twisting if I can.

I’m Playing hardcore so I’m mildly worried about survivability. But maybe I shouldn’t be.

Any thoughts on how to increase survivability? It feels incredibly glass cannon right now. Damage is insane and I think it’ll only get better. And maybe I just need to wait until I can get spell blade and/ or procs rolling before judging too much.

Interested in hearing your thoughts / ideas.

Is WAR/SK/PAL a viable build for D4 content?

I really enjoyed playing a warrior in EQ for the pure tanking/agro. So my plan is to go with a WAR/SK/PAL build but I've noticed this is not mentioned as a build in any of the posts I've scrolled through.

Am I missing something were that much tanking is just no longer needed?

I will likely always be playing with my spouse and usually 2 friends so I am not worried about buffs/dps. However, I don't want to slow down the group by overkilling the tanking.

So lost in the EQL release announcement is this "EQL is a live service game, and we will be releasing new content, including DLC and expansions."

I'm curious what do you think could be released as a DLC? I know what can be released as an expansion but am struggling to understand what kind of content could they put behind a DLC pack?

Hello!

I have decided that I really wanted to run a Warrior/Druid combo. Mostly for the nostalgia of leveling up a druid again plus the ability for ports and damage shields.

I originally wanted to run this with an enchanter this build but it seems like they are really lacking in their usual capacity of crowd control with limited damage options. I played an enchanter to 60 on retail.

So then I thought - what about a bard which was my main character up to Planes of Power. With melody and the change in bard songs this seems more like what I would want for a buff/debuff class.

Is Shaman a good fit? Would adding a monk for more melee damage make sense?

I'm stuck over here. I'm sure I'll play them all but looking for a certain amount of cohesion.

I played right as kunark was coming out. I was a DE necro on vallon zek. I've dipped into P99 from time to time, but didn't really level past 10.

EQL looks like a lot of fun, and I see there's a lot of theorycrafting on the sub, but I also get the impression that you can mess around with builds.

I'm kind of interested in not reading anything more about the game, and just going off of what i remember from 25ish years ago and hoping for the best. With the ability to scale difficulty, this should still be a viable way to approach the game and see everything?

Back when I boxed on EQ Live, I almost always had an ENC as one of my support characters. I loved having Haste, Slow, and the class’s DoTs.

For EQL, I’m currently leaning toward PAL / MNK / ENC. The thing is, I don’t really enjoy using Charm. It requires a lot of attention and management, so I’d rather avoid it.

Most of the ENC discussions I see on Discord revolve around Charm, to the point where it sounds like that’s the class’s defining ability. That got me wondering:

If I’m not planning to use Charm, is ENC still a worthwhile choice, or would I be better off playing a different class?

I’m interested in hearing from people who have played ENC primarily for crowd control, debuffs, utility, and support rather than Charm DPS. How viable and enjoyable has that been for you?

Does this work and if not where can we start the petition?

I'm wondering if there's a place I can look up gear, sort or select by slot/stat, and also look up what procs exist. The EQ legends wiki looks like a copy paste of P99 with some additions, and a lot of that is out of date/era, and I can't get something like a table to sort gear. Hell, I would even take an excel export. Any ideas??

I played for 10 years but joined around the time PoP came out. Over the next few weeks, which zones should I become familiar with so that I'm ready when EQL comes out and I start leveling in the classic zones?

Asking for a friend (ok I have no friends asking for me)?
