If you take ANY combination of classes in the game, it takes MORE classes in a different realm to match their abilities... this works for any realm and almost every class but very few exceptions.
Easy example here just like yours:
To match ONE sorcerer in mid you need,
Spiritmaster (AE debuffs, Lifetap, Pet)
Healer (Long duration AE mez, mana regen)
Shaman (AE root, dot)
Runemaster (baseline speed, cold/heat/matter debuffs)
The point of this is, big deal if you can't mirror all the abilities a mid group has when you make a group, you are gonna have OTHER things that the usual mid fotm group DOES NOT have.
I think you would need to play against both albs and mids to really understand. When playing only one realm you mainly see what is weak but your strengths are always taken for granted.
he was compairing the standart util on a hib grp with warden, druid, bard, eld + what ever....
Albs need a friar for heat/cold/matter resist, both hibs and mids have that in grp if they make a decent grp...(druid, shammy) albs get a BG/heal gimp aswell witch is nice
Albs haven't done that for a long time, simply because albs needed utility from other chars
After more and more fights have turned into ranged fights, albs need NS we need a cabby then aswell, Mids rarely run with a RM, they are in the same "shit" there Hibs offen run with a Eld tho
In a caster group with Wizzies etc we need someone to interupt since we don't have 1 pet on each caster/healer so, add a theurgist aswell
Now we have:
1: Friar - resists/BG
2: Cabby - NS/Diease/nukes + pet
3: Theurgist - pbt/pet - interupter
4: Cleric - Heals
5: Cleric - Heals
6: Sorc - CC
this leave a grp free with 2 spots for dmg dealers/BGer/Light tanks/speed5/end/debuffer
with a hib group u could do most of it from less chars ^^ -and get more util
1: Druid - Heals + pet
2: Druid - Heals + CC + pet
3: Warden - Resists/pbt/BG
4: Bard - Speed/End/CC
5: Eld - NS/Diease/Stun/nukes
then u can add 3* stun + self debuffing casters or lighttanks etc etc etc
it takes MORE classes in a different realm to match their abilities
He is compairing grps NOT single classes, I dono how meny times this have been said but if u still haven't gotten it, shutup.... :touch:
