If you don't keep up with the EQ2 forums, now would definitely be a good time too. With the NDA release, there has been a lot of beta info making it's way into threads everywhere. I found this to be a particularly good one with lots of red names chiming in:
I'M NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU, THE GODS ARE EXTREMELY BIASED TOWARDS SPECIFIC CLASSES.
If you arn't a wizard, dont bother with Solusek Ro.
If you arn't an Enchanter, dont bother with Quellious. SHE HAS NOTHING TO OFFER TO MONKS. (unless you want to reduce your agro on raids, in which case go for it.)
Cusashorn has opinions about it all, so be sure to check it out.
