Classes?
 

I have been away for almost a yr i gave my lvl 50 mage away whn i left, so i am kinda wondering because i am going to play agian, what classes are needed these days?

Can never go wrong with enchanter.

As long as there is a healer in group, an enchanter will always fit. Even a cleric and 4 enchanters I'd take another enchanter. Charm owns, the ability to stun and mez most everything in the group game is uber as well, and slow is just OP as hell til it starts getting mitigated.

Bard
 

Bard. Everything nice that dude above me said about chanters... plus we can run super fast! VROOM!

Except post-46 that 40% exp penalty really puts a damper on your exp. Also, we don't get the good mana song until L55. Bards are a great class, and always welcome in raids, but they take some dedication that a lot of other classes do not.

I question this group makeup.

Why have that silly deadweight cleric along? =P

for when u say "o crap! Charm broke on said über charmed mobs"

Pfft my charms don't break EVER. I have a barn full of stuff I charmed months ago that keeps texting me asking to group again.

ooooh...sorry froglok sentinel....I'm with skeletal guardian now. Maybe we can have coffee when I'm back on Antonica over the holidays?
