And by the time you get good gear you may as well have just made an hdin lol. So I think I may start off with a paladin of some sort possibly. Odds are with the group you have you can pool together a jah/ber fairly easily. I have a couple groups with 100 people who are going to pool runes together for us.

no, getting a jah ber won't be fairly easy.

yes it will be

no, it won't. you're talking about the most sought after items in game (more or less) and each will be thousands of fg (if not dozens of thousands of fg).

also why are you so refractory to any other opinion that you don't agree with? it's really toxic.
