Hi,

Me and a rl friend are looking to start on Hib/excal, but are not too familiar with xping techniques here. We have 4 fresh accounts between us and are looking for the optimal classes to use to get from 1-50.

I presume an animist and druid (buffbot specced) are essential, if they are what are the other 2 classes that would complement these most.

Thank you in advance. :cheers:

You could try nurt druid, manachanter, manamenty and manaeld for some heavy focuspulling. Later on you can respec these classes suitable for RvR too => druid can be 44nurt or respec to nature, manachanter 50M/20L or 49M/22L, menty 46L/28ME, Eld can stay full mana or respec 46L/28M.

Thx for the replies so far :)

I like the idea of 2 verd animists, 1 buffbot and 1 mana ment, i think we will try that. Hopefully its effective in instances.

4 people in task instances will likely = too high lvl mobs for verd anis to handle efficeintly.

Would it be better for us to xp as a foursome outside of instances then?

yes if you ask me, instanced dungeons only good for auri's farming imho.
xp is still better in classic dungeons.
currently duo'ing verd ani and mana ment and it's the fastest lvling process i've seen so far (i reckon adding druid and second ani can only get it faster!)

my 2 cents...

Are classic dungeons instanced also? ie all the mobs to just our party, or are they unchanged and Mythic just added additional dungeons on?

been having fantastic fun in instances with 2x manachanter, 1x druid and 1x mentalist. Odd setup but seems to work on anything up to low purple and with next to no downtime.

Probably nowhere near the most efficient group but utter mayhem ! :)

Mana chanter
Animist
Nurture druid
Mana menta

focus pull into shrooms and pb/dot, should be able to exp very fast on the way to 50 and ph4rm just about anything when you get there.

Ok so i definately have

1 verd animist
1 druid
1 mana ment

Just gotta see what is most effective to join them, a mana chanter or another animist.

even with all this animist hype, still think best is:
nurture druid (buffs and crappy base heals), mana menta (hot and mana regen), mana chanter (focus pull and pbaoe), mana eld (debuffs and pbaoe)

to level a foursome efficiently (esp after lvl40) u need to kill reds and not have the xp reduced by the load of ani pets

20 - 25 Spraggon den (near Howth)
25 - 35 Trebh calite (near Culraid)

yeah mebbe a bard aswell or another chanter, he did say 4 ;)

I see the Hero being kinda useless in that group really, if you do it right the Enchanter isn't supposed to get hit anyway so Guard isn't very usefull. No offence to Hero's other than that :p
