Main problem there as I see it is: Mids will have : Shaman, pac healer, valk as interrupt.
Hibernia will have: Bards, champion, eld
Albion will have: Minstrel and??? Can't really run with a reaver they don't have the same damage anymore with Levi nerf, ( same for valks , but valks have alot better rupt and heals aswell ) think albion will struggle, also since they can't fully buff their group with no buffbots.
2x clerics, 1x caba, paladin/2h/hyrbid spec ), minstrel, sorc - only 3 spots left...
For full buffs = friar,
For remotley any interrupts in the box = reaver
Now there is one spot left... won't work.
Perhaps a full caster group, 2x sorc, 3x caba, 2x clerics minstrel. And at high rrs add a hyrbid paladin for the slam insead of one caba, OK 2h dmg with celerity, and put in an armsman instead of minstrel, due to rr8+ u can afford not having spd6 and sos.
Alb will struggle qq |
Albs won't be running with Reavers because they are an SI class.
For interrupts albs have:
Sorc - bolt range mezz, amnesia, pet
Cabby - nearsight, aoe disease, pet
Minstrel - 2x insta DD, 1x insta stun, pet
Sorc, Cabby, Minstrel, 2x Cleric, Friar, Armsmen, Mercenary seems a perfectly reasonable group setup.
Mid groups may well be able to run pure tank groups with good interrupts but they will be lacking in other areas. With no access to LW a Mid tank group can just do melee damage so Physical Defence will be incredibly popular among casters and BoF will be popular among druids/clerics. Buffed pets will be a huge pain especially with the reduction in CC.
