What Class Does This Group Need?

[Seldig]

Thank you all for the great advice!

I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Magician and Rogue. I'll probably go with Rogue -- since that was my role in the original group.

Now I just have to wait for the Titanium discs to arrive. Sigh....

Looking forward to seeing everyone in game -- watch your backs and your pockets! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You have the Internet, no need to wait.

Rogue for min max

Literally anything will be fine. You have a super strong group comp. Warrior cleric enc on it's own is godlike.

You could play literally anything, since you already have Tank, Puller, CC + Haste + Slows, Heals, Ports.

If you roll shaman, you'd take a load off the enchanter (slows, stat buffs) and let the druid DPS a bit more.

If you roll a dps class, you have plenty of options (rogue, magician, ranger, monk, ~wizard).

There are hybrid dps/utility classes that would be fine additions (necro and bard, both have tons of utility, +mana regen, can deal moderate dps in groups)

You could roll a hybrid tank (paladin/sk) for snap aggro

So really, you are in the unique spot to pick literally any class and roll with it. Playstyle wise, the best DPS classes for groups (Rogue and Magician) are pretty simple to play. If you want something more complicated or with more utility, you'll be looking at rangers, bards, necros.

Rogue - DPS and picklock puts this ahead of rest.
Bard - Overlaps with enchanter.
Shaman - Druid can do support heals, Enchanter can slow/haste
Wizard - Druid can port.
Magician - A decent pick if you'd rather caster.

Really any 6th pick is going to be awesome in that group.

Rogue for CRs, great manaless DPS, scouting and whatnot.
Bard for travel, overhaste and general coolness.

Shaman would actually probably be best. With a shaman, this group could put Ixiblat on farm status... 70% of WW dragons and who knows what other cool things.

By all means, no magician. 99% of the time it's just a weak DPS that can create trains.

[Pope Hat]

2nd ench. They are the best dps in the game.

mages really aren't as bad as people make them out to be, especially if all you need is DPS. 54+ water pet with focus does ~40-50 dps if it can backstab, plus another 20 from Burnt Wood Staff spam.

also Malo/Mala would be very useful to this group
