Shaman+Warrior can do it to! No BP needed.

True, but having a porter does have several important conveniences you may be underestimating:

1. These players are new-ish, and not exactly swimming in plat.

2. Having a porter will make it infinitely easier for them to explore the far corners of the world... Dalnir, Kaesora, Permafrost. That stuff is really fun to do with friends. When they are done, they can port out.

3. A porter is also extremely conducive to group construction. This premade core can literally say "Hmm, I feel like making a group to do the bottom of Splitpaw"

/who all 30 38 lfg

Druid picks them up and takes them to NK. This is a substantial quality of life improvement compared to getting stuck in the same old crowded zones, or trying to do new places without a guaranteed porter.

Druids also mesh excellently with enchanters, especially when leveling 1-50.

Sadly I could never get this to work [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Also Enc/Druid/Melee does work, although it puts more pressure on the Enchanter who has to do slows and stuns as well as charm and CC. It's certainly possible though (especially with a lower-level pet).

Seems like they already have a mid 30's druid available, get it to 39 and don't create any of the new characters on that account. Then the husband&wife can juggle logging into the druid to get them anywhere they need to go.

Still, Druid/Wiz/Wiz could be fun quad-kiting.

then just send a polite tell for the ones that don't appear to be in xp zones for their level.

throw some plat for their effort and you're golden and if you're like me you'll use the same few porters to build a "partnership."

These people should have no problems with plat as they already have a mid 30s druid who can advertise ports for plat.

Can't believe I have to tell people how to get ports...

It's all well and good sometimes, but sometimes depending on time of day/ zone it's not easy to get a porter to you, especially if you have no rezzer and bind near the zone you are in. Your advice assumes that everything will work out the way it has for you, so it's worthless for some situations/ personalities; my advice takes into account all of these factors and not all players are sociable and want to bother people for ports. The only decent argument against having a porter (said by someone else) is to level the druid they already have.

I think it's commonly agreed that the best trio has an enchanter in it.

So, given this, if I'm an enchanter (and I am), what other two classes do I want in my group?

1) I want stuns and the best healing class when my hasted pet breaks.
2) I want easy access to a rez when I die.
3) I want the best HP buffs I can get.
4) I want a good puller who can FD if things go wrong.
5) I want a tank who can hold agro when I slow a mob or when mez breaks.
6) I want a snaring class to stop runners and easier kills (rooted mobs keep fighting).

Also, much easier to find a port than a rez, IMO.

So, my trio is:

Enchanter/Cleric/SK

Ton of port alts out there
