Try warrior/maye combine. It can easy kill monsters few lvls higher than you pretty easy. Also this combo can solo quest, do solo instances and canalso be solo Dps in party for higher instances. When you hit monsters with one skill on the monster with flash with lightning also when you put that skill on there will be lightning around you.

You can have 3 classes total, and then set one as primary and the other as a secondary. Only 2 can be active at once.

I'd give a more detailed answer but im technically at work right now.

After you level your first class to 10, you will get notification that you can choose a secondary and where to go. Once both are 20 you can add a third, however, like Quaffy said, only 2 can be active at any time. But you can be any combo of the 3.

Have a read from this post:

http://forum.us.runesofmagic.com/showthread.php?t=23689

Its a bit dated, but the game has not changed much at its core and start.

Furthermore, quick descriptions on every class (and if you look further, their skills) here:

Hope this helps, enjoy and Merry Christmas.

They have different skills, personally i prefer druid over priest, but its only a question of opinion ! I would suggest maybe warrior for w/m or scout for p/s. Even m/w is quite strong.

champ/rogue is pretty op, good tank or dps, can use a lot of the same gear on tank as dps due to the class mechanics(str to stam conversion) subing different jewelry. Champ/warrior looks quite solid, extra aoe helps with group aggro for tanking. Champ/mage looks good as well.

Really what role do you want to play.

I might suggest something new, a warlock for instance. Quite a powerful class, seems o be well rounded, can dish out good dps, tho i haven't seen a geared endgame warlock in an instance personally. I have however been killed by one in siege. Mage or priest work very well as secondary for warlock, mage being pure dps build. Rogue is also a very good secondary, particularly for siege. Warlock/priest will get your heals, even has a group healing elite.

Mage/priest is still the ultimate solo/farming/grinding class. It's extraordinarily versatile. You have powerful aoe's, powerful elite skills and powerful heals. You also get decent burst dps. The thing it lacks is sustainable dps. After an insane 30 second burst (which utilizes many consumables and buffs) your dps drops to very little.

The best way to deal with this is to pick a complimentary third class. My personal pick would be warrior. Warrior supports the mage class well- mage/warrior is easily the best dps mage. Having the ability to triple your dps by changing classes and keeping the same exact gear your mage uses is utility that you just can't beat.

Warmage is probably the second-highest dps class in game, and it's considerably easier to play than it's rival, warden/warrior. While it may seem easy to play on the surface, and it is, there's still plenty to keep you occupied, because aggro management is always an issue. It can actually be pretty exciting having to watch the aggrometer like a hawk and stop/start your rotation and/or even switch weapons to control your aggro. Warmage's always live on the edge, and they frequently die on the edge lol.

Warlock isn't a bad choice however. Wl/m and m/wl are both useful utility classes, and mage/wl (iirc) has a truly amazing party buff that would assure your desirability in a party. Wl/m has a pretty complicated rotation thanks to having to manage your psy. It's not quite as much dps as a m/w, but if you absolutely must have a complicated rotation, it's a good choice. You may end up finding it frustrating though.

Mage/priest is an absolutely ideal class combo to start this game with. You can take that base and build a very versatile and powerful toon. If you have a lot of time to read, check out the Mage forum and read my (immensely) long mage guide, and you'll get an idea of what mage is all about. It was written prior to the addition of the warlock and champion classes, and I haven't updated it due to lack of data, but the comparisons of class combos are still useful, as is the explanation of skills.

Currently, Warrior/Mages dominate the PvE DPS scene due to some VERY powerful elite skills. They're complex in how to gear and stat them though, ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP.

If you want sustained firepower without the possibility of being squashed, I'd suggest going Warden. Chain armor with powerful spammable attacks and a couple pets to add to your dps or defenses.

If you're looking to kill something before it can land many hits, I would suggest choosing rogue, despite being described as not the strongest, they pack a far more powerful punch than they're made out to.

Mage is your typical spellcaster, lots of damage so long as you can keep distance on your target. Fire magic is for pure damage while wind magic tends to be for crowd control/amp shots.

Priest is your general healer class with heals over time or just flat out heal. That being said, they generate a lot of aggro in parties and use a ton of MP. Priests can also be considered a DPS class if paired with the scout secondary class.

Scouts are the ONLY fully physical ranged DPS which makes them kind of quirky. They're anti-rogue by nature and can detect them while they're hiding. They often use powerful attacks such as snipe.

Druids are... Unconventional healers. Their heals often have strange effects. Some chain from person to person, some heal and then place an additional HOT (heal over time) on the target. Overall, they're weird in my opinion.

Then you have knights, the meat slab. While not particularly powerful in terms of attacks, they are kings of defense. They focus around damage reduction, immune skills and keeping the attention of the boss. When paired with the priest secondary class you have an nigh on unkillable metal machine, if you don't mind sacrificing much needed dps.

hope this helps!

come to Osha!!

P.S. Stay away from Warlocks until you've got a maxed toon, they're very complex.
