I played my necro for a bit other day. I like the game because it maintains the old school EQ risk factor; You will die in Vanguard if you are not careful.
My Main is Nebuc, the necro, and Nebu, a rogue. But I have lower level tank and healer if we want to do some lower 20ish content and need core group chars.
As a side note, I just built a new box with an AMD Trinity APU, and it runs Vanguard like a charm. This PC is destined for my TV in the living room, just waiting for delivery of a Wifi and Bluetooth adapter. I am pumped to do some gaming from the couch...
