I am 100% using MQ and various automations for all characters. If you want to go down that route, you're in the right place already. If not, you could just add more mages. They are still really good dps and you can keep doing what you're already doing. There are some people that manually box...

Yeah, for that level I agree with everyone else. BST, BRD and whatever you want for the last spot. It is often the case that my main group ends up SK/SHM/BRD/BST/ROG/MAG. You can crush anything with that group.

I've used a mix of the three big ones (KA/RGMercs/CWTN). It comes down to how much custom stuff I want to do on a specific toon. I'm leaning more into KA because it's the easiest to customize. The biggest issue is mana pools on caster classes. You can't get away the amount of nuking/buffing...

Depends on your level and server type (live/tlp/emu.). Enchanters are more reliable CC until bards get their AoE mez (in the 80s?). Clerics are more reliable healers during the mid-game (~70-100). Any dps work completely fine for the other spots. It's really just personal preference.

You have to turn off auto attack and then hide in order to use the old-school evade to drop aggro. That's why it's not working with mq2melee. I ended up writing a Lua script that paused my automation, turned attack off, used hide, and then unpaused the automation to get going again. Depending...

It sounds like you have an issue with directories. I think your loading blank ini files, not the ones that you've configured. When you say you reinstalled on the C drive, what did you actually reinstall? Everything should be under the Config folder of your Macroquest directory. Right click...

You know, my brain didn't differentiate between "beta" and whatever alpha thing they have going now. I was kind of salty about it after waiting for a key for so long and then getting "just open you wallet email", but it makes sense now. I still won't buy it, but it makes sense. Other games have...

My first group was a Pally tank and self-healed most content in whatever gear I found along the way. I also had a druid in the group that kept the rest of the party topped up and backup healed the tank when needed. I did find it easier to run the pally manually because automations just blew...

The better question is whether or not he played that combo on an in-era TLP specifically. "Classic" content on a live server is not the same as "classic" content on a TLP. There are no events and missions on TLPs for a long time. Most of what you're going to be doing is camping a spot in a...

It should work. The Tank thing is a red herring. You'll engage at 100%, but it should still respect your DPS settings for skills/spells/abilities. Post your whole ini. There's likely something conflicting that we'll see if we can look at the whole thing (use the code block to make it easier to...

Having a bard for raids is very good. Resists still matter at this point and bards are the best for raising it. Most guilds want to have a bard for each group in this era (and in later eras, but not for resists). They only downside is that there no real reason to have more than one bard per...

That group would be fine too. You won't have to worry about melee positioning, which can get weird sometimes. Mage is definitely a more chill class than warrior. Between mage pets and charm pets, you'll be able to pet tank most group content. You'll also be good for a lot of raids. Clerics are...

I think it's fine, and if it's what you want to play then there's nothing wrong with it at all. Snare is easy enough to overcome from weapons that proc snare. Warriors get a ton of cool toys in classic EQ. There's also a clicky necklace that some evil clerics can get that has snare. I forget...

There are picks (instances) once they get crowded. It's not too bad. There's a bonus side effect, too. If you don't want to be around people, the non-hunter zones are pretty empty. Like the new XP zone today is Chardok, which is fantastic XP and loot, but I'm going to avoid it. Even without the...

If you're really set on building a 3 box that's going to last until live, just take TANK/CLR/ENC. In a couple years you'll be able to add mercs to help with dps. All of the tank classes are completely fine. It mostly just comes down to personal preference. The shaman will let you down in...
