I thought about a debuff grp aswell, they are easy to run vs low rr grps, wich everyone will be in the start, but as soon as enemy tanks get determination, charge, purge and starts do do higher dps you have to balance out your caster grp to a hybrid grp. Talked abit about it in a post above.
But I do believe albs with no petspam will suffer alot.
Alb tank group can't afford a minstrel + friar, and they still need:
2x clerics, 1x cc sorc, 1x caba. And if they run anything but a full caster grp they will need a hybrid paladin for the end and celerity in the train.
Thats 5 spots taken by key classes ( tank grp or hybrid grp = pala, full caster u need a minty ).
2 spots left for dps and still you have no source of reliable interruption, I for sure won't play alb on an Origin server 
Also keep in mind 2x clerics can not buff a whole group, just not possible. |
If hibs aren't running a warden for celerity albs don't need to run a paladin either. End pots and LW1 can provide perma sprint.
I don't see why a sorc can't position himself, cc, interupt and demezz. Thats no different from either the bard or the pac healer.
We have no idea what they are doing with buffs. They have mentioned a universal buff system. 2x clerics may well be enough and 2x clerics and a friar won't be bad as I suspect the friar will keep alot of the new procs he has, unlike say the valk which has already been said will be toned down by changing the styles it has.
Now given you think alb is so weak maybe you could clarify that when you get beaten by an alb group on origins you will admit they must be much more skillful than you because they are obviously playing hard mode.
