We were talking in the "heroic character" thread about rarer race/class combos. Since we don't have a scientific way of doing this... What race/class/gender combos do you play the most. Let's try to keep it to a top 3ish (recognizing some of you box larger groups... just your heavy played set if you will). Maybe we'll note something "not played" among the alla folk, but we'll need 30+ different people to respond for this to even slightly mean anything. Smiley: lol

I did some monkeying around with race changes a while back, but will ignore that for this "survey"

1. Drakkin Necromancer, female
2. Dark Elf Enchanter, male
3. Iksar Beastlord, male


The dark elf is my second oldest surviving character, and I belonged to an evil only guild at the time. I played him mostly illusioned as a old-school froglok though. The Iksar Beast was slow-played a few years back and represents the most actual time spent playing among my army of alts of many combinations. I played exclusively male characters the first 5-6 years in the game. Lately I mostly roll females just to have slightly different armor looks.

The Drakkin Necro was rolled when I came back to EQ right after TSS was launched. I was intrigued by the new lore and Crescent Reach quests and rolled 8 Drakkin in a bunch of classes I hadn't played much or at all. Only 2 of those characters still exist as I became quite sick of Drakkin. The other is an enchanter that I keep around as she managed to get epic 1.0 while playing in an prog guild.

Definitely an unscientific survey but fun nonetheless!

Male Halfling Druid
Male Barb Warrior
Female High Elf Enchanter

When you box 6 "most played" is a bit of a 6-way dead heat, but those are the 3 I've played the most in the last few years, including when I'm too lazy to 6-box and I just log in 1, 2 or 3.

MY mains are:

83 Dark Elf female Mage
70 Human male Ranger
60 Human male ShadowKnight

This is my most recent lineup. I actual y have a 77 Warrior on the Ranger account but I just don't enjoy him as much. After getting my ranger up I really like being able to sit back and /autofire with him as it seems to be a decent amount of damage considering I can set autofire and switch to another toon.

My Shadowknight account has a 76 rogue but again just don't enjoy that class so I started him the SK awhile back. After the info on 85 heroics I started working on his epic 1.0 (eventually 2.0) All I need is a turn in and another kill and im done just waiting for the thing to spawn (Golem loot is out of the way thanks to a kind Gnome MQ for me).

MY wife has an account and I have gotten her to "casually" play for a couple of years. She has a 60ish cleric so figure will make that toon 85 and add it in for those pesky raid zones you can't pull a merc out on. Trying to get her to work on epic 1.0 but she has no patience. If she can't just walk into a zone and kill something and loot the required item she loses interest.

I have been using my 68 halfling ranger/(67)Iksar monk mostly.....But i am starting to use my ranger with my Barb shaman(67) and my monk with my gnome
chanter(70). Mostly so i can get haste and buffs... I also use my ranger with my 70 Halfling Druid who is my oldest toon at 03/2000 and my Iksar SK (71).

I am not sure what to make for my heroic toons maybe another chanter on my main acct and maybe a cleric on the secondary acct both are gold atm. Im still not sure sure what to make as i have a lot of toons from 20's to mid 50's that i dont play alot.

In the past I've always gone with a melee + shaman; the melee has included a ranger, a monk, and now an SK. I started playing again a couple months ago on the Trakannon server in a progression guild called Lost in Progression. It's been awesome, and lately I've been running a L60 trio:

Dark Elf Male SK
Ikky Male Shaman
Female Half Elf Druid

And...yeah, that's it. I tried boxing a Shammy but got tired of alt tabbing etc.

All female

1) Dark Elf Warrior
2) Dark Elf Cleric
3) Wood Elf Rogue

This is the core of my group. I have some rules as far as race/class combos are concerned that might fit the discussion. I have a whole lot of characters, with at least one of every class. Most of my characters are 80+ but the general rule for me is, there are only a couple good* races for every class:

Warrior: Barbarian, Dark Elf, Wood Elf, Half Elf, Human [the irony being, my highest Barbarian warrior is level 37 and I have a dorf who managed to go from Gloomingdeep to 85 in two weeks of play]
Shadow Knight: Dark Elf, Human
Paladin: Half Elf, High Elf, Human
Cleric: Dark Elf, Human, High Elf, Drakkin, Erudite
Druid: Half Elf, Human, Wood Elf
Bard: Wood Elf, Half Elf, Human
Berserker: Barbarian
Beastlord: Barbarian
Enchanter: Dark Elf, High Elf, Human
Magician: Dark Elf, High Elf, Human
Monk: Human
Necromancer: Dark Elf, Human
Ranger: Half Elf, Human, Wood Elf
Rogue: Barbarian, Dark Elf, Half Elf, Human, Wood Elf, Dwarf, Gnome, Drakkin
Shaman: Barbarian
Wizard: Dark Elf, Human, High Elf, Gnome, Drakkin

When I say 'good', I mean to me. My judgment has nothing to do with stat allocation (which doesn't matter and hasn't for almost a decade) and almost everything to do with aesthetics and popularity. For example, my main druid is a Half Elf because I've never seen many of them around on any server I've played on. Sure, you can't walk 50 feet without tripping over at least one Druid, but it was far more likely to be a halfling or wood elf instead of half elf or human. I'm also not into anthropomorphism so the animal races (Iksar, frogs, cats) don't merit consideration. I have at least one of every one of the above combinations, except dwarf and gnome rogue. With only a couple exceptions (Drakkin), I like to keep it classic.

My characters are:

Iksar Shaman, male (used to be my main)
Dark Elf Shadow Knight, female
Drakkin Necromancer, female


A week ago I rolled male Erudite Enchanter - wanna try this class one day.
Years ago I played male Gnome Paladin named Dilidon Quihotte. I found this combo pretty funny Smiley: grin
And of course there was a female High Elf Cleric (for a short time - lvl 30 or something).
Before I got my old account back I had a little fun with female Human Bard.

My most often played combos
Male human paladin (Jonwin) oh he hit 100 on Sunday, with Human Ranger or Drakkin Druid.
Froglok Cleric male, Courtin with female wood elf druid (Elne Clare's original eq toon.)
Druid with male ogre Bl or female troll shaman.

1. Half Elf Druid, male
2. Vah Shir Beastlord, female (male vah shir leather pants look dumb!)
3. Human (though most of the time a rock or random object because minor illusion is the best spell ever) Enchanter, female


The druid is the first character I made, and I mostly use him to check for rare spawns all over the world and then kill them with my beastlord.
