Hello,

I'm new at L2. Would someone please answer a few questions for me?

What is a good first class to play? Best to solo? Best healer to level up?

I think daggers(rogues) are all good first choices or Nukers are also good choices and Dark Elf wizard->Spell howler is one of the best soloers IMHO.

As for healers I'd go for human (Bishop) or light elf (Elven Elder).

Healer? Why in the world would you make one as your first toon? If you're gonna make one to box along with your first one then make a buffer not a healer. WarCryer or Prophet are your best two choices. Unless you're making a nuker, then make a Shilien Elder for buffs.

Spell howlers high m. atack but slow caster.
Necromancer is great because you have almost as high m. attack as SH but you have a pet with High P. attack. too and you take half damage when your pet is out so ya, Necro >all

Best healers are Bishops beacuse of all the different types of heals they have. Followed by white elf healer ( elven elder ) because their heals are almost as strong but they have special buffs that archers need such as evasion buff , resist stun , etc. and they have a spell called " party return" that takes your whole party ( up to 9 ppl ) to town instantly, acting as a panic button. For instance if me and my boys came after you , you would wanna hit that panic button. :)

another type of healer is the dark elf healer. They have buffs too as well, that melee characters will beg you 3 times a hour for (vampiric rage) and a spell that all mages need (empower)

go to the freakin website and view all the skills they get. They break it down for you all classes and races and which levels you obtain them

good luck
