Sure, the bard can interrupt casters but having a pally for dedicated stuns will help with the biggest potential problem: eating nukes that chunk HP pools.

Bard, rogue, paladin really can't be replaced. If you're trying to do big targets you're gonna need a soulfire and rogue dps...and the snap aggro enables the rogue to go HAM right out of the gate on every XP mob.

Now, if you're going a self-found route...its 100% naked monks + bard. But ain't nobody tryna do that in 2024.

/thread, pack it up boys before DSM's military-grade autism kicks in.

I find myself in broad agreement with this take the more I think about it. PAL/BRD/ROG for sure and then the difficult choice between Ranger and Monk. And obviously Monks bring a ton to the table in this era, but the Ranger does too. There's definitely a lot of overlap with the Bard toolkit (i.e. snares, regen, tracking, DS, slows), but having the Ranger available cover some of those duties frees up the Bard to focus on other more important shit like staying on top of mezzes, charms, DS, haste, etc... And at 60 with CoTP on the RNG/ROG/PAL, you've probably erased the Monk's DPS advantage. So at that point the Monk is really just bringing FD pulling, which with the substantial tools that PAL/BRD/RNG bring to bear for pulling, you aren't going to miss in the vast majority of circumstances.

Toxigen's comp was what I had in mind as well. I think BRD/PAL is the obvious core, you get the most tanking/healing ability and overall utility out of that combo and having a rezzer is kinda huge. For the second half, MNK/ROG is the best combo of dps and pulling. MNK/MNK is tempting, but I think sneak/hide and pick lock is enough to earn the spot for ROG.

this question has nothing to do with the extra utility a class might provide, it's all about who slugs the hardest

Politz politz politz.

The existing president is just biden his time

id really like to try this comp in a static

id even be willing to pilot the bard...a static weird comp / no-twink group would be the only thing that could bring me back to playing p99

The irony in this statement is hilarious. I vote we stay on topic - this is a better discussion for the off topic forum.

It's not even allowed in off topic either because none of use want to hear stupid political BS on an everquest forum

Bard / Paladin / Monk / Rogue
