Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[Troxx]

Again this was never about whether a shaman can duo or handle charming chanters. They can, just with a much lower margin of safety and with no way of bringing back the dead when it happens. If you level long enough with charming chanters - sooner or later death can be considered an inevitability.

This is less safe than having a cleric but also higher DPS, which is basically the tradeoff with a shaman. Shaman does more damage than a cleric in a few ways, but is somewhat less safe.

Bingo. Now or triple the degrees of “less safe”. You’ve got 2-3 charmers to juggle. Remember we are talking ench/ench/x/y

X = your healer. Pretty much everyone thinks this should be a cleric. DSM says use a shaman and violate the theme of this thread by just pocketing a cleric bot

Y= your 4th caster. If it’s a mage you have a dedicated no-risk backup tank. If you have a necro it could be a summon pet (same as for mage) or a charm (more risk). If the 4th is another enchanter - you’ve got even more risk.

More charms equals higher frequency of “pickle” moments. More charms also means the small chance of “pickle squared” moments where multiple pets can get loose at once. DSM has already proven himself an incapable of keeping one enchanter topped off on health or saving him when shit hits the fan. You really want him watching 2, potential 3 charmers …. And for more challenging content than xp group trash?

Yikes.

Yikes.

More personal attacks, and more nonsense like claiming pocket clerics are not allowed in this thread. Your persistent basless claim on this point is not helping your credibility. Pocket Clerics exist, and will continue to exist, regardless of your denial.

For someone who frequently accuses others of misreading, it is somewhat ironic how often you misread others. I was clearly referring to Jimjam there.

"You called Jimjam a troll, and all Jimjam did was disagree with you. Sorry you can't see that."

Sorry you can't see that.

Longer response incoming! It's pretty stupid and funny but also quite serious. Just need to give it a proofread so I don't have to edit my post a dozen times.

I asked about Troxx, and you responded with "him". Maybe you need to be a bit more clear next time if you are going to talk about someone else that is not related to the direct question I asked you repeatedly.
