Coop question

[old.Whoodoo]

If we ever got a coop server, and lets say we had no transfer or /level, what do you think the ideal fast leveling group would be?

Also, where would you level, are there other lowbie spots where you can make the PL type groups we have in Moderna etc, say for levels 10, 20, 30 etc etc?

With the nerfs in NF coming (pet +FoP nerfs mainly) would the standard SM (or equivalent) + healer combos still get the job done, or is there a new FotM detup people have in mind?

6 Thanes 1 healer and 1 shaman

6 Thanes? Are you on crack? 5 Healers, 3 Shaman = win.

hmm 5/8 mids, who says they're overpowered

Oh and out of group necro & BD for infinite mana

 

[Shanaia]

1 healer (has to have celerity), 1 theurg (for haste), 1 bard (for crowdcontrol and backup heals) and 5 half ogre armsmen specced for pole.

Celerity and hib/alb haste stack ... hello 5 polearmsmen hitting at close to cap

Hm Cele only stacks with hib or alb haste, not mid haste? Have I played my healer to rr7 w/o knowing this?

 

[Rulke]

No it stacks with mid haste too, and afaik mid haste is better cos its specced whereas theurg (unless full air) has an end result of less than delve - kinda like base buffs.

On a slightly more tank-y note, I'd love to see how a Skald (2H Troll)/Pally (high Shield/Chants spec) duo could perform...speed, rez, end, dmg add, heal, shield spec (for Guard) and 2H (for big damage) in one duo....the complete package

...

 

[Rulke]

Without buffs, I can't see a skald doing "Big damage"

 

[Svartmetall]

Nah, Skalds do pretty decent damage actually; a Troll Skald doesn't have pure-tank WS but still hits pretty hard, especially with the onboard 7.5 DPS damage add song. If you add up everything a Skald and Pally have, on paper at least it looks like a killer duo to me.

Im trying to talk pre 50, so they wont yet have the DPS song...

Warrior and shaman would cut em to ribbons

[edit] forgot we're talking PvE here, should have said they would be able to kill the same predictable AI mobs repeatedly faster.

Loose the theurgist then!

Pala clearly has a place in pve, but w/o buffs this duo would be outperformed by many other duos in pve from lvl 1-50 imo. Since discussion was fg, lets add some SMs or enchanters or animists, mb a pac healer, mb a m/a healer, and a druid?

Mentalist, Cleric, Healer, SM, SM, SM, SM, SM.

Reasons are pretty obvious. (possibly ditch the last SM to get some more utility to the group with another class)
