what classes to box with

« on: October 10, 2012, 01:22:01 pm »

Hi all

Kinda new to server, got one char SK to 3.0epic and most TACI armor.

Ralizing I need to box more toons, what is a good group to have? I don't play a lot, so prefer a group that can make it very far on their own.

Is a 4box possible? Prefer 4 over 6

Also, noticed a lot of teams say cleric, but not sure why, explaining that would help as well..

There are about a hundred threads that start like this. To go far you need tank, healer, dps
Warr with 2hs to tank, epics will have a click stone wall
Pally to heal, Proc for group
Ranger, rog, bard, Beastlord, monk for DPS, (can equip Ninja strike augs) Bard seem to be popular these days with a new kick ass song they have
Can get to t5 np,

monk or rogue would be better dps then zerker...and instead of necro use wizard since you have the bard to keep mana up

Your SK can tank just fine. You'll want to have 2 healers. If you go with 2 Paladins, you'll have 2 off tanks as well. You can get by with a group of 4, but dps will be slow. Add a monk or rogue with the SK, Pal, Pal and you'll do ok.

SK - Tank

BER / MAG / MNK - DPS

PAL / CLR - HEAL

That Berserker AE damage is lovely, speeds up many encounters and farming by far.

I agree that the Berserker dps is pretty decent.
I hear pet classes are good but I prefer to never play a pet class.

If we judged them by the content of their character, they'd be begging us to judge them by the color of their skin

If i had it all to do over again and was only going to play one group i would have started war for tank pali pali clr monk rogue with the rogue just being pref if not a rogue would have two monks pali's when you get up there and have good augs are decent dps and the over healing is never a bad thing specially if one healer dies on accident or something.

Never a bad idea. My group atm only has 2 "dps" classes in it. Always preferred to over heal

i started with war, pally, pally, shaman, necro, mage
now that im getting into t5 iv'e phased out my mage for a bard, one of my pallys for a monk, my shaman for a cleric and i will soon be phasing my necro out for a monk or rogue. I keep the shaman outside the group often though for kraken and buff.

Zerker is nice AE dps....but all in all I prefer a warrior for AE, because the warrior is a much easier tank than an SK. Pally/War/Bard/Necro is a solid base to start with, because the necro alone can pretty much solo til HoH. However, around T3/4 phasing out the necro for a melee dps class (monk is nice) is a good idea.

If you just want to use 4 chars, your best bang for your buck will be SK, Pal, Pal, Bard. Bard proc song will improve DPS on all chars, and bard does decent augged dps as well.
