Unfortunately I want ot role play a lot. Since I don't have much interest
in rp'ing a necro or druid I picked according to what I wanted to rp, a
bard. After 4 months I realized how little rp there is in this rpg.
Evercamp is definitely a much truer name than Everquest. By the way,
strangely we always liked the necro when he made it into our group. is pets
was way more useful than the enchanter's and his spells made it easier for
us to concentrate and not chase stuff around than the wizard's. He worked
pretty well in our group, not directly via buffs, but indirectly via the
extra tank (pet) and the nice slow down doT's like Clinging darkness.

Fact of the matter is you should of picked a solo class then. It is a group
orientated game and for the most part most classes can't get around that
whenever they want. Hell most items I want at this level I still need groups
to do. Simply put the game is balanced for the way it was designed.
