[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 400256, member: 354"] Agreed. The difference between EQ int-based casters is far more akin to, say, the difference between a Cleric and a Druid in DnD... or, in a few cases (Enchanter Vs Wizard, for example) more like the dif between a wizard and a cleric. Specialists aren't really distinct classes. Just versions of the same class. Not the same as EQ. And he wasn't counting the wis-based casters into his list either for EQ. All told, EQ has Druid Shaman Cleric Wizard Mage Enchanter Necromancer Bard (EQ bards are NOT a hybrid caster, like a Ranger(Warrior-Druid), Paladin(Warrior-Cleric), Shadowknight(Warrior-Necromancer) or Beastlord (Monk-Shaman)... they are a distinct class in and of themselves. They get NO spells other classes have (similar, never the same exact spell though), have a different mechanic to them, and get spells from first level (as opposed to 9 for the hybrids in the MMORPG... can't recall what level it is in the PnP version)) DnD has Wizard Sorc Druid Cleric And personaly, the dif between a wizard and a sorc is pretty darn minor. Each of the EQ classes are distinct... very little overlap between them at all. About all they share in common are a couple basic lines of spells... for example, all robe-type get a self-only armour buff line, and all priest types get a heal spell line (though at different levels, like in DnD)... after there, it gets different.
