What is the best classes and race to make the perfect 6 man group? I'm not sure what to pick? I made a few classes that I used when I played the real EQ just to mess around but I'd like to move on now and I'm not really sure what classes will give me the best group to make it to the end game.

War for tank, paly for heal, then a mix of single target dps like monk or rog (i prefer monk) and Ae DPS like Zerk. Could ad a cleric for spot heals would be useful at all levels.

I'll second that. Warrior for tank; Pally for heals; Rogue, Monk, and Zerker for DPS; last slot is kind of a personal preference.

A cleric will help with the very early game (before you get your pally to his 3.0). You really can't go wrong with just picking another melee dps class. Casters just got a pretty decent buff, so you could go with something like a wizard or mage. Or you can pick out a support class like Bard or Chanter (personally i'd prefer chanter, as I really don't understand bards, never have and never will Tongue )

What do you like to play? War is not the only option for tank. Sk's can tank clerics can heal. Ae groups take a little longer to get started but they come in handy for farming later on.

The best thing anyone can say is play what you like otherwise why play ?

The cleric gets obsolete around T7 - and having a bard, is a really good idea :-)

clerics can actually be super usefull for filling the role druids played with skin of the drake since vie gives ~45-50% addtional dmg reduction on a tank with full mitigation buffs

Suppose lots of people do - I just found, that I could leave the cleric out of the group and just run with the paladin and add the DPS instead. To each his own.

I should have wrote "I found that my cleric got obsolute around T7 - and I've enjoyed having a bard on my team!" so it didn't come off as science Smiley

yeah truthfully I benched my cleric in t8 once i realized the true potential of paladins with a t8-t9 epic, they are just so insanely good.

I was reading Vie and it's 10%? Also only usable every 3 minutes. Maybe it's just me but that is mostly situational if you can't recast once worn off. When I pull its in sections (t8) and fast paced. If I can't add it to my attack key and rely that it will cast I usually skip it, trying to hit that other key means I'm dead Smiley (no melee, no paly heals).


edit: recast is 60 seconds. I should probably add it to key.

recast time is 60 seconds not 3 minutes and when your tank has full mitigation buffs from IG, epic and soa its 78% dmg reduction. The 10% from vie is 10% of total damage reduced, not 10% of the actual damage you're taking so going from 78% to 88% cuts the remaining 22% damage you take to 12% damage taken which is roughly a 48% reduction.

its still not as powerfull as drake which is probably why hate hasn't nerfed it into the ground
