1 Paladin

Pffft it's all the rage, another one seems to have popped up on another forum.

I don't mind, sounds like a good plan to me, as long as we don't try and hunt the same stuff at the same time, but that's unlikely as we have a head-start.

Good choice of classes, but in my opinion you should get rid of the armsman and take 2 paladins instead. Much better aggro handling, plus you get both end chant and heal chant.

My experience in being a cleric in exactly that group from 1-40 was that the paladin was a real punching bag/mana sponge while the armsman could take much more of a beating between heals. In my opinion, one of each is a good idea.

At higher levels palas take less damage and have a smaller hp pool - easier to heal overall.
But ya until they get plate they will just soak up healer mana like there's no tommorow. Once they get plate I think they become easier to heal.
Plus, 2x twisted heal chant > slightly easier-to-heal armsman. imho.

 

[Apathy]

Not sure about the armsman/paladin thing yet...time will tell. I am the cleric for our PB group.

Being in a group of people who do nothing but irritate the shit out of me in RvR and deciding whether you let them live or die...it's too much agony. Too much!

"Hmmm...Wildfire on 25% health...ah well, that will teach him for nuking."

I found that pallies do seem to take very slightly more healing but they are *much* more reliable at keeping aggro.

Which usually outweighs the extra heals.

Last thing you want to be doing is having heal the casters.

For all the uneducated albs it really doesnt matter if the "tank" can keep aggro or not. PBAE is not like normal aggro, its split up among everyone who is currently attacking the mob, not just the caster. There are some exceptions, some that i know(crits) and some that i dont(?).

Just as an example we have wardens as tanks in hib, and wardens are widely known to hit like.. well.. they almost dont even hit (no offense to the wardens that read this, but we both know its true ) and still keep agro from level 48 nukers that do 700 damage every 2 secs. With my mentalist i even kept agro from a RESISTED MEZ!(as in: I casted a mez, it was resisted, mob ran towards me, straight thru pbae nuke, took about 15% damage, and i still had agro)

 

[Flimgoblin]

If you pbaoe on a monster that hasn't been taunted it'll bash you.

If you pbaoe too much they'll turn on you... but maybe that's just crits.

I think the secret is taunts and protect

I _think_ Protect 3 will pretty much nullify any aggro other than 'first touch' - i.e. if you hit an un-aggroed monster.

still... easy way to test

tap a monster, leave combat mode. let it wail on you for a bit whilst your groupmate pbaoe's it.

See if it changes target.

Repeat with protect or whatever.

 

[Tilda]
