Hail, we're RedGuides. We want you to play six (yes, 6!) EverQuest characters at once. We have scripts and a friendly community to help, please join our playstyle and say hello! 👋 -
We've added LLM sections to our Terms & Rules and Resource Rules, for everyone's sanity & in-game safety.Read more
a. Do not replace your voice with an LLM. This goes for your posts and your scripts. Drafting and editing with a tool is fine, but don't take you out of what you share.
b. Do not replace your EQ character's voice with an LLM. We don't want scripts that speak over/ooc,/shoutor other public channels. This has been an unwritten rule that's kept casino scripts off the site for decades, but we're now compelled to make it clear: keep automated communication private.
Why Does RG Review Scripts?
Nearly every LLM-written Lua script we see is making your character do impossible things, and rarely in a way that's beneficial to you. We've seen heavy server hammering,/targetover impossible distances when/nav spawnwould passively accomplish the same thing, a spawn search that fires 20+ times per second, and other pointless actions that are likely annoying GMs.
You are welcome to use LLMs as a tool to structure, draft, and edit your work, but please read critically before hitting/lua run

Both are great..and both have benefits to the grp beside dps. COTH is amazing..id be lost without it.
SOS is also amazing id be lost without it.
The amount of dps your going to output will depend a great deal on the fight you are in, and what is the rest of your group makeup? I am a HUGE fan of mq2rogue so I would go with the rogue dps

With that crew, I would be more inclined to go with the rogue strictly from a dps perspective. My reasoning would be that you'll be focusing your bard twists on melee ADPS already with a melee heavy group. Plus you don't have a high demand for pet gear, only shaman's wolf.
On the flip side though with a perspective of utility, only the Shaman can gate, so the other toons have to rely on other means. Making the Mage's COTH very useful to that group.

Rogue with that group, and SoS is super handy. You can even do Rogue COH using SoS and a rez token. Drag two corpses (one is cleric), rez the cleric with the token. Cleric rez's third PC. Drop campfire and CF the others in. Or kill them all, drag them in and rez cleric - the cleric rez's the rest. More death and more dragging but also works.

That group is set up to run pure melee way better than casters so I would definitely recommend the rogue over the mage for dps.
Yeah, rog makes most sense, however you will see it repeated many times go with what you want, unless its 5 chanters and a pally, can make it work :P There are several good mage tools on the site you can use (XGEN, RGmerc's, KA/MA builds) that make mages a very steady DPS contributor. and who doesnt like CoTh?.. although the rog corpsedrag with MQ2Rog is so amazing also lol...
mage, rogues are awesome but there's just so many perks to running them. Plus...if stuff goes sideways mage pets can recast (instantly if you keep the Suspend Companion one). Can't even begin to say how nice it is to know that if for some reason the tank dies, there at least 2 mage pets there to smooth things over.
