Which class is the easiest to solo bot in EQ?

Would you use MQ2Bot or something else?

Would your opinion change if you were starting this character at lvl 85?
 
Probably mages currently. Some pet changes are coming so they will not tank as well though.
 
agree w the mage choice

however alot depends on the player just cause someone can log in X class doesnt make him or her be able to play it worth a shit or close to its potential

The question is how bad will they nerf mages now that they think they are OP.
 
They are just making them a little less tanky, but possibly get a DPS increase. Personally I like the trade off for my boxed mage. Prolly not the best for a solo mage.
 
It shouldn't affect someone using a mage to solo bot around so much, since you're likely to setup somewhere that mobs are more trivial.

Also there is a simple hunter macro Pete made that will work I think. The mq2bot plugin doesn't actively pull/seek new mobs etc

Although you could make a simple macro that looped a path and pause at each mob/aggro and the bot would take care of the rest

Numerous changes have been made to the way pets deal and receive damage:

-- Beastlord - Spirit of Lachemit and Yell at the Moon will now summon pets with lower HP and AC than before.
-- Beastlord - Pets summoned by Yahnoa's Feralgia and Kesar's Feralgia will start their lives at 100 percent HP.
