Trio, would you enc/enc/clr or?

Enc / Dru / Clr ... SOW, Ports, Heals, Charms...

Yeah that's what we decided on, the convenience/extra safety will far out weigh the bit more DPS and non-stackable buffs/debuffs.

Thanks!

A bit more DPS?

You're cutting your dps basically in half and adding zero outside of ports / evacs. Unless you plan on sticking strictly to zones where the druid can charm animals, this is a total waste. Don't even try to justify it w/ druid nukes / dots, they are garbage.

As others have said, if you want a 3rd that isn't another enc, go monk or warrior. You get the safety in not having 2 charms break at once while maintaining some semblance of reasonable dps That is the holiest of trinities.

Laying down the facts on me! Haha.

My Ench is still ahead of the group in levels, so I will definitely run it by them. I'm not sure the utility of ports can be measured though for 1-2 hour sessions when you want to try different dungeons without cutting into too much grinding time.

If i were in a trio instead of a duo i would prefer dru/enc/cle over enc/enc/cle.

Snare + paci + memblurring pets is nice when you need a break from charm for medding or afks.

ports and sow are fantastic because you may do a /who all whatever zone and show no one there, only to get there and find 7 people soloing anon/roleplay. no problem, port over to your next best spot. or earthquake - quick port around to pop a few named.

also advantage of a decent tracker to see whats up when you first get somewhere

evacs when it hits the fan. fast CR with sows and ports without the need to necessarily bind at whatever zone you are hunting.

I am biased though. I duo druid/monk with the wife and we now have a duo cle/enc.

that said, druid dps is not great, but there are a few places charm is useful, and some advantages to some of the other buffs like regen, and eventually POTG.
