I was wondering if it was possible to run a 3 man crew to end game?

I have heard a few people who purport the probability of taking one toon to end game.  With enough time and infinite patience, you can get anything to t10 I would imagine.

Warrior, paladin, paladin and TONS of patience...

Patience i have. A pc that will even run 1 group decent i dont. I have a full group of 62s and as long as i dont switch from main toon im ok. If i even alt tab to loot its a lottery on which toon freezes

Are you running 5 dumbed down clients? (have to ask)

you HAVE to try the Optimization Guide (http://ezserver.online/forums/index.php?topic=2988.0) if you haven't

As for the theoretical question.

Solo? No, I don't think it's even theoretically possible.

3 boxing? sure, but it'll be slow (Paladin, Warrior, DPS (probably Berserker))

6 boxing is the sweet spot imo.

12 is just cumbersome to log in

18 is insane. But half of the elite EZ crew do it *shrug*

^ all of the above is just my opinion, i'm sure lots will disagree.

Also a side note, you can use ReadyBoost (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/turn-readyboost-on-off-storage-device#1TC=windows-7) to add virtual ram to your PC and box more toons.

Yea i have 1 client that looks decent but everything off. 5 with fully dumb down ..its my cpu not my ram that gives me the problem. I have 8 gig and 32 vram set its the 1.7 duel core that bogs the system down...bad

If I absolutely was limited to 3 toons.....

I think I would have to go:

Warrior, Paladin and Rogue or

Warrior, Paladin and Monk

Or if I felt the need to be casting spells, I would go:

Warrior, Paladin and Enchanter

It's a difficult question really

I would do Paladin and 2 DPS personally. Maybe Paladin and 1 dps and a druid.

Prefer one dps to be AoE like zerker.

Warrior is untouchable as tank and dps here on server ;p

A warrior and paladin along wont be able to survive until you uw the warrior....you will need 2 healers... the warrior will be all the dps you need once you can uw them

Not true. I tank as a paladin and being my only healer and have had no issues through t5 at least, so I imagine that a warrior with a paladin will be just fine, unless you are talking about progressing in potime gear only and ignoring the rest of the game.

Eww - IMO critical to have a warrior (bc of their mitigation) - and with UW, their DPS is great too.

I'm out to prove something! :P

I was thinking war/pal/clr for the buff and added heals or replace clr with nec for dot grp heals

well, personally I like to have that DPS factor in there, low maintenance DPS toon, that's why I said I would lean towards a rogue or monk or another great choice is zerker like someone said. Zerker would give you that DPS and the AE damage for multiple mobs

I could do war monk pal i have those 3 already

Since you're trying to minimize your group you can't beat a warrior for a tank. Solid mitigation and very high tanking dps. Paladin is solid auto attack heals with minimal fuss. Single target dps will work great until T5, from that point on you will start to want aoe damage from a zerker or a necro. I would stick with the zerker as its far simpler and should be easier for your system to handle.

Take your time, read the wiki (http://www.ezserverwiki.com/EZ_Server_Wiki), make sure you keep your charms maxed, and if you have trouble breaking into a tier ask for help.

While I do not discredit the entire paladin tank method, or SK tank method. I truly believe there is a point in the game where the warrior becomes far superior to both paladins and shadowknights as the main tank.

Can they do it? yes
Is it the best idea for this game? not in my opinion

I think that Warrior/Paladin/Zerker is going to be your best option. I think with some time and patience you will be able to achieve some good gains.

Plus, this community is notorious for showing favor towards good players with good attitudes that put in the effort on their own. There are a lot of secret santa players here that will be willing to lend a hand if you show you are willing to put in the effort $$

Take the bull by the horns and prove your 3 man team can go all the way

If your using MQ2, I would suggest checking if your loading mq2fps.  It helps quite a bit.

T5 is a massive step from T4. Everything changes. But then T6 is a quantum leap from T5....then T7 is...not that different in terms of mob challenge. Then we get to T8...and the whole thing goes in the shitter :D When trash start whacking you for 400K and named mobs start hitting for 7 figures base, the inferior base evasion and mitigation knights get compared to warriors takes a toll....and thats before you even consider the massive difference in stonewall a warrior gets. SK seem to do a bit better than a pally in T8 and they still often can have a hard time. Fortunately T9 really isnt much harder than T8 (easier in some ways). Trash hits 500Kish base, big named of course a hell of a lot harder.

All in all, if you want a seat of your pants, worrid you might die every other pull, tank with the SK. If you just love rezzing, tank with the pally. If you want to make the challenge not so much "can I survive this mob?" but rather, "Can I pull 80 of these and live?" go warrior.

Thank you all for the info.

Not sure about fos ill check that. And im gonna be doing some narly hours at work next two weeks then ill be getting my hands dirty lol thank you again
