Dream Group

[ride the spiral]

Paladin: snap aggro, pre-mez break aggro, LoH
Cleric: BiS Heals, HP buffs
Enchanter: BiS CC, Clarity, Haste, Slows, Charms
Bard: BiS Dungeon puller, CC, Charms, HP/Mana Regen, Snare, Melee Buffs
Rogue: Sustained DPS, lock picking, corpse retrieval
Wizard: On demand damage, BiS roots, Evac

SK is up there with Paladin but I just think Paladin is the BiS dungeon tank because of downtime heals, caster interrupts, and breaking mez safely. I also think Wizards are slept on a little bit, If you get a seriously nasty pull, you have that on demand damage to blow stuff up instantly. Plus Evac is great utility.

This is my perfect group. It may not have the highest DPS output (I can agree that 4 enchanters charming is best there), but I think this is the most balanced setup. Over a long period of time, I believe this group would be the most successful.

1 SK 2 Monks 3 Necromancers

Feign Death fuckfest

I like the full feign death group concept. Sounds really cool and could easily just train deep into dungeon right where they wanna go. Dig it.

[Feracitus]

provided a source for regen necros can even heal the sk lol

[Sabin76]

Shaman with FD ring. Problem solved.

[Moll]

The group I play with weekly:

Cleric
Enchanter
SK
Rogue
Shaman
Druid

We get together in person and play for a few hours one night a week most weeks. It's taken us over 2 years to hit 40. But, we have everything we need to access, survive, or escape pretty much any group content.

For me, the 'dream group' had to have: Heals/Tank/CC/DPS as well as Ports/SoW/Haste/Clarity/Slows/Corpse Recovery/Rez/Pick Lock/Tracking/Back up Healing/FD pulling/Invis and IVU/Snare/Low XP penalty

And, the group should function with any 5/6 present (because RL).

The only thing our group really misses is an Off Tank.

Your Shaman, in that group, is fully sufficient for that job against just about any content you're likely to encounter, especially if he equips his character with such a purpose in mind and keeps an eye on his health and armor ratings.

You're right! She's even done it a few times on accident [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] If we gear her right, I think we can embrace that option.

...will have to talk the team into practicing Shaman tanking this week

Our other drawback is gearing 3 priests (we had planned a wizard instead of the druid but no one wanted to play a wizard). Not a big deal though.
