21:56 Outro
Just starting on P99 Green after a 20-year haitus. Watching random CZcams videos inspired me, so thanks for these!
Would love that duo list!
Would also love a strategy-type video on Enchanter strategies. Coming back after 20+ years and playing an Enchanter because I never did way back when.
Really liked this breakdown. Explored all aspects of classic 1 -60
Great breakdown for a new player, thank you!
I keep telling myself that someday I will make an enchanter! It feels like the spookiest class to learn with all the mechanics and things to juggle, with death around the corner.
I'd recommend trying it out! Once you get to 12 and get Charm you'll cruise to 60!

Great content - keep it up
Love it, dude!
i don't think i've seen any tier lists for starting eq solo class, good stuff!
oh BROTHER! This guy rocks!!
Best classes are :
Shaman : able to kill the bigest target of any soloer with slow, dots and torpor.
Necro : easiest class, powerful and faster than shaman but get no slow for non undead targets.
Enchanter : can manage to kill a very bug target like the shaman but it is more risky and you can not farm as fast as necro, shm and mage.
Druid : safer than ench, easy like necro, but you will wait for mana between fights like for mage and even more.
Mage : easy to play but your character is fragile, you dont have any defensive skill (like life tap, runspeed, feign death, evac ...) only your pet and you have to manage your agro wisely. Best class to farm low and mid targets. Not powerful soloing on one big mob.
Thanks for the shoutout @Momentary!
Another amazing video, love it!

@@Zangyaks You are allowed to be wrong 😉
Ohhh boy, I'm glad someone is finally doing this. My predictions before watching: S: Bard, Enchanter, Necromancer. A: Druid, Magician, Shaman, Wizard. B: Cleric, Shadowknight. C: Monk, Paladin, Ranger. D: Warrior, Rogue.
I wasn't too far off! I would agree Shaman is S tier once they get torpor, but between needing to be max level and have 50k plat for Torpor and needing their epic to go from decent at soloing in their 50's to pretty good is why I ranked them in A tier. I agree with Bard being A tier. Never played one, but I can see how upper 50's swarm kiting would fall off a bit. Also agree moving up Monk and Shadowknight up a tier from my initial ranking due to feign death alone. I also agree with your int caster rankings... Got a little excited about early level mage power and wizard swarm-kiting. I enjoyed the video man. Cheers!
Druid and SK in the same tier? Druids have SoW, top-tier convenience spells, and can quad kite mobs to 60. Snare is amazing too.
Enchanter is my fav class. Love the abilities they have at their disposal, really fun fantasy class
Yeah! It's a class that I've never seen the equivalent of in other games. So powerful without having effective ways to actually do damage.
I'll always be a 'Chanter at heart.
Solid list
When I was a noob in 2000 and knew nothing about the game I chose Dwarf Rogue as my main and stuck with it. I spent sooooooo long LFG it was insane. Made 60 and epics after years. If I had chosen an easier primary, would I still love this game so much?
its funny because Rogue is the most sought after group class on p99. As long as a group has a healer and some sort of tank they are generally happy to fill every remaining slot with rogues because they stack so well and kill mobs so fast. The best era was when Hole ZEM was buffed and everyone did 55-60 there. constant LFMs at the infinite camps in the game.
I was a dwarf Rogue on Tarew Marr back in the day. Also struggled to make level 60 and get epics. I found that the thing I did wrong back in the day was I played the game like a single player game, I didn't make friends, I didn't get into a guild that was active. The best way to do any game like EQ1 is to find people and make friends.
Friend/guildy groups with the most nonsense class makeups were common for exp groups. camping groups etc. There are things that matter more than efficiency
As a Bard and Enchanter main, you can do even more with a Bard. Both are S+
Aquatic ambience. Sounds like my childhood. Brings me back.
Couldn't find anything to disagree with here. Solid work.
I have eight 60’s on p1999 and I think Paladin is kindof tough to classify. I think my 60 Paladins ability to solo tough mobs is much higher than some of my other 60’s that you ranked a bit higher. Especially compared with say a Ranger or Mage, definitely more than Wizard, Monk as well unless super well geared. But of course they are like watching paint dry when soloing for exp. I’d say their ability to grind as well as farm plat is pretty on par with SK. SK can fear kite, but in tight dungeon spaces it’s probably worse in most cases unless again, gear makes up for it
Mage under sk is wild.
Yeah no melee should be above any caster really.
That C tier sound effect 😂
Finally some respect for the shammies.
Just kinda stumbled across this video, but its interesting.
Enchanter is my all time favorite mmo class. No mmo ove played since has been able to recreate that gameplay sadly.
Totally agree. I always thought they should have given warriors a bit more than the got in the game.
I guess it depends on gear for a Pally, durning live on my server my Pally was in the top 4 on the server, even during the Luclin expansion, as a Human Pal at lvl 60 max, I had no real issues soloing content like Crypt in Seb, Howling Stones etc. I remember once I pafcied my group across the Deep, from one end to the other across the invs bridge with full spawn up all the mobs 55 lvl with no aggro, when lvl 60 was max level. Later on with Planes of Power and AA, I used to solo in Crypt of Decay, getting 7k to 10k slay undead crits on the mobs there. Pallys solo a bit slower, are very gear dependent, but if you kill undead mobs, it`s not that bad. I used to run mana pool 30% to 40% of whatever my max hp were, like in Planes of power I had 9k hp, and mana was at 4k , with Flowing though 15 or something .
^^^ can confirm Tasarian was a badass paladin!!
Wiz must have been hard to classify. Wiz with average gear and no access to mana regen and doesn't play the tics might be C tier, But if you have the gear and access to PotG or a friendly enchanter in the area and a great understanding of game mechanics can do some Amaizing things. 🙂
I play a main as a Magician so I know all the tricks, the one thing I’ll say other than you being correct they aren’t elite 50-60 compared to shamans and enchanters, we did manage to solo big mobs such as phinny with 2 of us (2 50+ magicians) using chain casting of the earth pet. So if you are a magician and wondering what your best tricks are it’s CoH pulling and chain casting. With that you can duo some of the bigger mobs. Still not on the level of a shaman / monk duo or an enchanter / cleric duo those are king duo in p99.
Re: Paladin: They can root + Deepwater Helm to heal up if a fight is going sideways, which gives them great, if slow, control in dungeon crawls. B tier IMO.
Everything else I think was spot on!
Have the chance for a root and camp too, and able to split camps with lull. Equal to a SK fear kiting, and splitting camps with FD and snare.
Do Project Quarm tier list p99 is old news.
I haven't been able to figure out why fear kite used to feel Superior to root rotting. Now I can't seem to justify using fear other than for fun
Sk, was certainly out of order from anything ive seen.
Bards are by far the fastest leveling Class in game - even after 50. You can pull up to 50 Mobs 3 times in an hour in the City of Mist. You can do that easily with vendored intruments for 3pp. NOTHING (or only another bard) comes even close to my levelspeed to 60.
Agreed, i believe Bard is the top of the pile. One caveat though, playing a bard requires more skill than most, a good bard is impossible to beat but a poorly played bard is useless.
nothing touches the necro when solo. bard is decent outside, but inside they fall short, also on summoning mobs, they just die. When it comes to all different kinds of mobs, and in all places. Necro is king esp once mobs start summoning.
Bard. Back in the early days of Blue server Kunark was the most bonkers solo game. We were able to pull an entire zone like the Overthere, Firiona Vie, Burning Woods, Dreadlands, etc. I maxed out at about 120-150 mobs before the server started to push back with lag spikes causing problems.
High risk/reward and very nerve racking, but lots of fun.
You can start as early as level 4 i think with your first aoe song on Kobolds in Steamfont.
I tried a bard in qeynos. I got a whole lvl on one swarm of the bugs. It was funny.
@@stephendickinson9929 I tried Kobolds in Steamfont as soon as I had an AoE song. can be done at almost all levels
Ranger def A tier IMO
I'm not seeing an SK without great gear being that high honestly. Probably B with great gear. Maybe A with fantastic gear.
Hmm mage seem like they should be a-.. guess you don’t have /pet stop ooc regen on p99 though. That definitely changes things a lot on classic era tlp, as it does function.
Necromancer is the king of soloing. Not many can compare. They are fine vs summoning mobs, you just have to be smart about it and keep the mob snared, Dot the crap outta the mob then run away and lifetap in between summons. And they are even better than an enchanter when dealing with undead. They have a mez, they can charm and even heal their pet. They can heal THEMSELVES with lifetap(something an enchanter cannot). They can also Feign Death for safety or splitting. They also can out DPS an entire group of melee in a race.
They lack the 70% slow so unfearable mobs are an issue. Can only deal as well as an Enchanter with undead. Enchanter can mem wipe mobs too as a form of FD. And while Necros have lifetaps, Enchanters have runes and Bedlam, which against a slowed mob is a non-issue. Add to that, super fast cast PBAE stuns.
But Necro DPS is much higher than even a charmed pet. ESP after the charm nerf after PoP. Necros after luclin dominated DPS for a long time. Aggro kiting in areas that normally require a group. Fear kiting went away for the most part after Kunark. No control over where the mob runs can create massive problems.@@janus3555
Enchanter is better
can you do a guide on shaman soloing?
Plug for my pal Zidell, who does videos of shaman soloing in Chardok!
czcams.com/video/TfA6zjMzs4g/video.html
My issue with Shaman, is the money for spells and epic.
Enchanter and necro don't have that issue, shamans have a big asterisks next to them Imho.
enchanter has bottle necks like cazel and Drozlin that make up for it lol.
Pally, a lot of people dont know that blind is a huge aggro tool and very easy on mana. So Pally Sham can be a really smooth duo that people are not talking about. The CC a pally and sham can work out is awesome. Pally lull, root, slow, stun, tankability, heals, combined buffs... SK FD and snare are handy yes. Yet! Pally will be more stable to keep alive AND you wont feel as overwelmed as you may with the SK trying to work out debuffing and dot strats for new camps. Something to be said for having less to do on one toon multiboxing. Bard for example doesnt offer haste high enough in a duo pr trio to justify not having a monk, the bard however is less work than a monk.. so the speed and regen.. just excuses when should be using a monk as a third account.
The Evil race cleric can solo pretty good once you get the quest necklace ( name evades me) that is Cleric and shaman only I think that allows you to cast darkness. You can get it at really low levels and once I got it I was able to solo so much easier. However soloing a cleric is kind of not really the point of it. I always enjoyed grouping with clerics. I have played most classes over the 25 years its been around except the Necro really. Not sure why. I may make one on Quarm since I am there right now.
Is it call symbol of innoruk? I have one on a troll shaman.
@@_greyskol Yep that is it. I loved that thing. When I got it it was amazing how many people had no idea about it and was curious at how I was casing darkness to slow mobs down to kite them lol.
@@alphadragongamingFTW do you play EQ still? I play on P99
@@_greyskol I play on Project Quarm right now. Been having a blast. Have not been on 99 for a while
"I didn't really group at all" and the tile is: SOLO Class Tier List
I soloed all the way to max level... I dunno what you mean "mage slows down." was pretty even all the way through. You just have to pick the right battle fields.
Im playing my bard solo in the 30's just by charm and fear kiting i have zero downtime.
Bards are bar none the best levelers, especially before 50.
A rogue is not that bad solo, all the way to 60 can be done if you had to. You can get in some solo backstabs and kill low blues. Rogues slot into groups easier than anyone else anyway. Paladins, if geared, can solo well. For ex a well geared 60 paladin can handle breaking and soloing efreeti. With the 2hs from Tunare, paladins (sk can also use) DPS really goes up along with a 3 min root proc. I think you owe monks more credit. Many uber geared iksar monks can easily solo good cash camps. They dont need to stress about a charm pet either.
Bards are easy S tier lol. Swarm kiting is like 1/10th the kit.
Already knew half the list. Honestly, warrior is likely down with rogue tier. It's tough, but we accept it.
Of the C tier classes they're definitely the closest to D. 😔
P99 rules. The whole point of p99 is for it TO BE old news :)
yo bards can solo s tier
I always find it interesting that there are numerous solo tiering videos on You Tube for EverQuest classic, which is a group dependent/grouping incentive type game. Ya'll are playing the game wrong!
Lol. Man does not even know the icon. Yet he ranks a Shadowknight A tier???? Obviously he is never played the class. pmslmao
absolute garbage list
What's your solo list then?
