I can't decide between the obvious Warrior/Cleric combo, or a Monk/Shaman. Monk and Shaman has more versatility and higher damage output, while Warrior/Cleric is much more straight up efficient. I can two box both straight to 50, and even to 60 with Kunark. Warrior/Cleric is probably the better long term decision because both are part of the Holy Trinity, but I don't know.
Anyone with more recent EQ experience have an opinion? I haven't played EQ since PoP and so much has changed, even in the old world that I'd be playing in.
p.s. parcelan will ban anyone who makes stupid lolol ur playing eq or "Feral Druid/Combat Rogue is better than a Warrior/Priest" jokes on sight. >:[
OH SHI

Playing Warrior/Cleric will be easier overall.
Other than the cleric's ability to deliver large heals early on and the availibility of the largest +HP buffs, what would make a cleric a better choice over a Shaman?
Haste, Slowing mobs, Stat buffs, Regen, Healing, DoTs... I see quite a bit going for a shaman, but it's not something you can put in a corner and survive with just 2 buttons. I had a bank and a half of buttons setup to 'automate' most of my Shaman while I main-boxed the Warrior.

Of course, the server needs more everything but int casters.

I got tired of resummoning the little bastard because he'd die to riposte damage.
So do what smart wimpy pet owners do, make sure the pet is attacking from behind the target.
When the shaman is a glorified collection of macros, not as easy to do.
Keep in mind all of my 2-boxing experience is post Omens of War. I have no idea how well a shaman can support a warrior in old-world content, but I know it took one hell of a shaman to main heal WoS and MPG without an overgeared tank. Meanwhile my cleric was able to mainheal Wall of Slaughter (65-70 content) at level 47 with a good mana regen buff.

I didn't see a cleric would be better, just easier.
If you're going to 2 box over a long period of time, there's a lot less stuff to do with that combo.
A monk/shaman 2 box is undoubtably more powerful, but requires a lot more interaction on both characters. Speaking as someone who duo'd with a monk as a shaman for the better part 2 of years, I was hardly ever idle when we duo'd, but the amount of stuff we could kill in short amounts of time was insane.
So if he wants to casually 2 box, go cleric/warrior.
If he wants to be back and forth interacting constantly but mowing through mobs, go monk/shaman.
Of course this is all moot if you decide to break out MacroQuest.

What server do most of you play on, anyway? I don't think I ever saw anyone say in the other thread, after the second server was announced.

I *think* Suddar, Fizodeth, and Lyinar play on Sleeper. But then again, I don't think I've seen Suddar since a couple of days after the server came up, and Fizo is only on once every few days.

I play on Combine.

Fizodeth had this to say about Duck Tales:
I've been playing with Will, but my play time has been severely cut down witht eh same thing that Suddar was complaining about, suddenly I've got stuff to do out the ass. Im not complaining though. Parties with girls running around topless and a floated keg and THEN some are fun.
This is basically my problem, I've been out every evening for the past two weeks and now I feel kind of out of the loop anyway. I may start back up again once the newbie areas clear up a bit, that's part of what I've been waiting for also.
I leveled my warrior like crazy when Gates of Discord came out in that first area with all the dragorns and other dudes.
