I don't think too many current EQ players post here. I know EQ is filled with dual boxers, but probably none here and of the people here that use to play EQ and now box WoW, it's probably been a while. Anyway, I find I have a hard time playing rogue, warrior and bard. I started the bard to do hard pulls, but am finding for the most part my rogue with mage coth can take care of hard pulls, so it comes down to how useful my bard is with /melody and I am thinking....another mage would be more useful, so I started a new mage on the bards account.

Recently I read a post about someone making a new melee character and leveling to 65 with 500 to 700 AA's in 2 days. No exploits, just pure powerleveling. At lower levels, making AA's is easy. Not so much at lvl75+ and I am thinking it will be harder and take more time to get my lvl80 warrior 1000AA's (which will just cover all deffensive AA's and some offensive) then it would be for me to level a completely new tank and stopping at low levels to max AA's as I go and arrive at lvl80 with 1000+ AA's. Also, if I make an SK, that should take care of many pulling problems and even simplify how I play rog/tank.

So, I have started a new mage to replace the bard and a new shadowknight to replace the warrior. I think a warrior is diffinently the better tank and I have invested alot of time and effort into getting him geared up, but with the new defiant armours in EQ being very easy to get and ...almost as good and that although the warrior is a beefier meat shield, the SK can grab agro fast and keep it better which will allow my rogue to do more DPS. So only problem I have with the change over is leveling up and getting AA's...which I think will be easier then continuing with what I am doing now with warrior. Bard...is nice for /melody, but just don't see it as being more useful then another mage with pet and actually playing the bard is awkward for me, so canc the bard and yet another mage in the mix. Just messed around and both SK and mage are lvl18 now. Probably both will be lvl50 at least in a couple days.
