best classes to play grouped, and why?Follow

The only down side of playing a warrior as a tank is if the guy playing him is online alone and cannot find a group, it can be boring. And hard. And frustrating. Maybe I'll change my group suggestion to be as follows:

1. Tank-Pally. CAN solo in certain areas and heal as well if needed.

2. Tank-Beastlord and /or it's pet. Has some buffs that can come in handy too.

3. Healer-Cleric. Awesome spells and nice buffs,

4. Healer-Druid. Trust me, they can heal. Nice buffs too. Also good to prt to places.

5. Misc..-Wizard/Shaman/Necromancer. Wizzie has awesome spells which can do a ton of damage. Shaman has sweet buffs and a pet to help tank later on. Necro has cool DoTs and an undead pet. How sweet is that?

This is just my opinion remember, it's not set in stone...yet.

Seems to me that slow/haste ability has been over looked for the most part. Having the mob do less damage, and the melee types doing more damage is a huge advantage.

Also having a slower who is not cc helps keep the chanter alive long enouh to gain control of the crowd.

For me I would take a Warrior, Cleric, Chanter, Shaman. With these four classes you have everything you need at very low lvls. For the 5th slot I would take a mage or a ranger or a druid or a wiz, or a...

What ever you can get at the time!!!

Also it depends where you are but if the world were perfect i would take a
War or Pally tank(depending on where Im going and how many HP they have but for some things I like grouping def disc comes in handy :P)
Cleric(duh)
shammy(main slower/disease slower back up healer)
Wizard(me)
Chanter (CC/secondary slower)
Bard or monk

Thats my ideal group sub a cleric for chanter if I want to do lucin raid mobs


Now for pure AA grind

3xbeast
wizard
bard
cleric in PoV inner I have never done this my my friend pulled 15 AAs in 3 hours with this group.....insane


OHHHHHHH i saw someone listed a PBAE group I love them(though I do it a bit differently(A bit more risky) Chanter cleric 4xPBers Wizards or druids though a bard helps.....unually have the chanter rune himself and pull.....did it a lot why back when in ssra basement sharding pull like 20 skellies and PB the hell out of them :P )

Just play. You make it sound like you are trying to form a seal team to take down a small country. Hey friend one, what sounds fun... ok cool you play that, friend two oh picked that alrighty...etc.

But if I was choosing, personally as a necro my favorite setup is:

Necro
Shaman
Druid
Paladin
enchanter
Beastlord

Right there is buff central. I see no better combo.

I'd do somethin like this

Warrior (tank)
Enchanter (crowd control/buffs)
Cleric (heals/buffs)
Wizard (DPS)
Beastlord (DPS/buffs)
Bard (puller, focus effects)

I've had a group like this before, and it was just awesome :)

I've actually done pet groups before. Once my ranger got invited to pull/tank for one in PoD. It was scary being the only melee in the group, but it worked out pretty well... once the pets got aggro at least. I just had to make sure that I slowly backed away as the pets were taunting. I've also done pet groups with my necro. They can really tear things up in the right situations, but aren't ideal for all.

A ton of fun is:

3 X Mage
1 X Beastlord
1 X Necromancer
1 X Enchanter

Very very risky in some situations but overpowering if played right.

Mages use firepets early on then switch to air pets level 50 and up. Mobs have very tough times even attacking due to being slowed and chain stunned from pets. Necromancer and beastlord have minor heals for when something goes wrong, then again none of those listed classes have a lot in the way of hitpoints so minor heals work just fine.

we tested beastlords x2 with a necro, made it to 12th after 9th when the beast got thier pets, it is fun to play this group. but now solo for weekdays i'm playing a warrior,
and when buffed well and tinked with +18 hp regen items, he's soloing bandit camps at 12th to 15th.
and now kurns tower at 17th lvl, swamed with 4-5 blues and 1-2 white cons, my health stayed above 90% and in seconds 100% whith the regen items.
at first i never planed on using a warrior, but as i started all these other classes, i noticed that in groups what roll do i want to play. do i want to be in the back as a cleric doing nothing but waiting to heal, do i just want to send in pets do fight for me, or do i want to be upfront and and kill everything in site. i think being a warrior would be the most active and fun. i did think about hybrids, paladin or sk. i did sk before, didn't like it. paladin i have now came with cleric i got, fun , but warrior starting from scratch again. and with the items and regens i got, wow, don't need a cleric to help, although i will use my high lvl shammy to buff and make potions i can use when soloing, till grouping is worth it.

oh and web sites on warrior quest? and advise? allakzam is trerible for quest searching, always end up getting all classes and all lvls.

have you tried that latly?

i did that i am prem member. it keeps giving everything, all classes and all lvls.

Best Group in the world:
6 good players of any class.


If you want to know what classes you must play, here is the layout:

berserker, ranger, monk, mage, bard, druid

berserker tank, others dps/utility/healer.

If you have more than one tank in your group, your group isn't going to work well.

Shamans. They are third in line for healers (Cleric->Druid->Shaman) and their talisman and statbuffing spells really squeeze out the extra damage and hitpoints.

/agree with Tarv



This isn't true at all,

Pally, Warrior, Ranger, Shaman, Cleric, Bard/Enchanter

This has 2 and 1/2 tanks, and would do well through all levels. In fact, I it is quite a nice group. Nothing wrong with an extra melee or 2 that can offtank, or root park.
