Best 6 man grp?

[JohnPublic]

I am still low level on this server and have been toying with various classes to play up. On the original live server I played a cleric/bard/mage/warrior in a major raiding guild from shortly after the game's release until planes of power.

I can say that pre-kunark the most well rounded overall group for dungeons was:
Warrior
Cleric
Enchanter
Shaman/Druid
Any dps (rogue or necro preferred)
Any dps (rogue or necro preferred)

This is assuming that you are taking randomly geared characters with randomly skilled players. This group would give you the best shot at PUG success.

This doesn't mean that it was necessary to have this group makeup. With skilled players you only really need any tank, any healer, and a mezzer/offtank.

For what it is worth in the original game mages were horrible. Half of the time their pet would take off lord knows where and the other half it would die as soon as you put it on a mob. As the group's healer I hated trying to keep mage pets alive for offtanking, you had to just constantly throw mana at him to keep him alive at all.
