EQ2 Switch

Hey all, I am taking an undetermined amount of time off from 5 Boxing WoW and I am picking up EQ2 again it's been quite awhile, I tried it out a little bit and found I do enjoy my Illusionist that I started, mind you in 10 levels every class is cool and exciting. Again I haven't played since about '05, so a lot has changed. BUT I am interested in a decent solo class, with good dmg good utility but overall a lot of fun (With the solo ability of course). So with that being said, what are people's experience with the Dirge or Troubador. Are they "Fun" classes or are they pure utility etc. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I just got back into this game as well. My warlock was lvl 20 from sometime around '04 and man you're in for quite a few changes. I got him up to 51 last night and have been toying around with a ranger and a warden as well. I'm personally trying to find a good partner class for my warlock so I can dual box and at least be able to grind xp/aa with ease. I think at this point I'm considering a fury or defiler.. I need to read up some more though.
