ya but there are 4 difficulties for all zones, difficulty 4 is legit challenging and rewards the best loot

i want to be a MONSTER even if im not competing....im just a min / maxxer at heart

plus i got 2 RL homies playing...both are dead set on their classes

homie 1: SK / Bard / Wiz (hes banking on spellcrit AAs synergizing with lifetaps, and bringing the bard to the group)
homie 2: Ranger, Mage, Rogue (his fav 3 classes, wants to bring the boom, plus rogue/mage sneak + coth utility later for speedfarming raids)

So I need to pick 3 that compliments all that. I'm still thinking enchanter will be good on difficulty 4 because mobs become multi classed themselves and I think mana sieve will be huge since some of the mechanics include non-interruptable casters that are CHing themselves.

I think cleric heals + buffs bring a lot to that. So I'm leaning cleric + enchanter + xx (undecided).

EQL is NOT like THJ so your buddy will be very disappointed with SK/BRD/WIZ. There will be no kiting entire zones with huge Bard DoT/lifetap crits. In fact, I heard they disabled DoT damage on moving mobs entirely, so Bard kiting is no longer a thing at all on EQL. I know this was the premier toon on THJ but it will be fairly lackluster on EQL. At the very least it will make a very high agro tank, though, which isn't nothing. It's actually pretty hard to make an objectively bad build in EQL, so he will be fine in a group. He just won't be facerolling everything like THJ.

Your second buddy has a better build for pure DPS. Would synergize well with the first guy tanking. Ranger is kind of redundant paired with Rogue though. He's probably better off replacing with Druid for their considerable utility while still maintaining the Ranger feel (Druid/Rogue is basically just Ranger on steroids). You could do something like ENC/CLR/SHM and be a pure caster just focused on charming, CCing, and healing/buffing. Or maybe ENC/CLR/WAR if you want to be more sturdy and also be able to jump in and contribute some DPS/tanking yourself as well.
