EQII: Full Class Tree (Long)
Annie Benson-Lennaman
but not so much as some of the other stuff that gets posted here (admittedly,
sometimes by myself). As the approach date for EQII approaches, I think we will
see more and most posts about it popping up here, until someone creates
alt.games.everquestII. I know that many here are not interested in EQII, so for
my part I will mark posts I start on this subject at EQII, so they can be
ignored more easily by those that wish to do so.
Anyways, the full class tree has been released in the form a puzzle.

clean up the formatting, but I tend to mess such things up.

Ok, I will make one obvious point. There appears to be no beastlord class or

The Vah Shir are extinct. There is no sign of the Iksar, and though
there are still Beastlord-capable races, it seems like it's been
thrown out without those two races.

Iksar are listed specifically as one of the races that inhabit
Freeport. (Doesn't seem to be on the official site, but I do remember
seeing it somewhere else, information coming from SOE)
As for the Vah'shir, I don't see how they ALL could have been wiped
out with Luclin, as many came to Norrath when the Nexus was opened.
People have observed that the Kerrans of EQ2 are larger and seem more
advanced. My speculation is that the Kerrans in EQ2 are, in fact, the
result of the kerrans mixing with the remaining Vah'shir.

Hmm these sound interesting:
Ranger Sub-class - Rangers are natural outdoorsmen and trackers, masters of
stealthy movement in the undergrowth. They use perception and cunning to
gain
the advantage over their adversaries.
(obvious this one I guess, ranger type has always been my first choice in
any rpg).
But now this sounds interesting..
Predator Class - Predators are relentless hunters who use stealth and
cunning to
stalk their prey. At home in the shadows, predators use the element of
surprise
to give their allies the upper hand.
Dont have time to go through the list properly but these are the ones I
would go for first I think :)

It seems to work in Mozilla Firebird on Linux. At least, I went to the
Artisan tree, guessed the right places for the boxes, the combines worked,
and mousing over gives me the descriptions. Is there something more that it
is supposed to do?

No, I think that's all there is. I just cut and pasted the links. I went to
site, and didn't see much reason to spend time at it since I knew that it had
already been worked out.

Sounds like they thought of how they might combine Rogue and Ranger classes
into even more ridiculous subclasses. If you wanted to play one class than
go ahead and do so, don't try to combine the 10 or so core classes that
exist in EQ and DnD into as many possibilities as you can think of. Can you
tell that this class listing doesn't have me too excited? lol

I'm pretty excited by that ;) It'll be interesting to see how the whole
Archetype -> Class -> [Good/Evil version] thing breaks down without making
everything too unwieldy. Some of the sub classes sound awfully similar...
The evil ranger/rogue, the evil defiler and necromancer, etc. Still ;) Looks
like fun. Do you think the seperating of tradeskills into dedicated classes
means complete lockout for 'adventurers' in tradeskilling?

Moopy
>> would go for first I think :)
No, predator and ranger are the same thing.
Your progression would be:
Commoner -> Scout -> Predator -> Ranger
or 'Assassin' instead of 'Ranger' if you took
the evil path.
Equally, for a rogue, it would be
Commoner -> Scout -> Rogue -> Swashbuckler
or 'Brigand' for a baddy.
See? Its kinda neat ;)

Was wondering from the way it was all listed if mabey it was more of an
offensive and a defensive/utility choice, never even crossed my mind it
might have to do with diety (is there even diety selection in eq2?) or plain
old good guy/bad guy choices. Either way.. I'll be going with what I know
best in eq2... mage, can't get enough "Goner's" to make me give up on the
class lol.

Conjurer? Yeah, Everyone seems to be affectionate. I'd have a hard time
not being a ranger ;) Swashbuckler though. Mmmmmm. MMmmmmmm. ;)
I think the defensive/offensive split is a viable interpretation too, but
the 'offensive' classes all seem to have a much darker feel to them...
Defiler vs Mystic, Inquisitor vs Templar, Shadowknight vs Paladin, Thug vs Monk,
Assassin vs Ranger, etc.

Where do you get that the two sub-classes are all good/evil
counterparts? I don't see anywhere on the site where it even hints at
that. Yeah, some clearly are, but not most. From what I see, the major
difference between each of the sub-classes in most cases, with a few
exceptions, is one's more offensive in nature while the other is more
defensive. Being offensive in nature doesn't make one evil, just as
being defensive doesn't make one good.

Considering how they seem to be running the good/bad theme with
Qeynos/Freeport, I'd say there was definately intended to be that dichotomy
in the classes. It seems that they're setting up the game along that split.
