Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[bcbrown]

I don't have a position. I have an opinion. My opinion is that Enc/Enc/Clr/X is the best 4-man caster group if you want to start fresh on p99. Probably add necro/mage. On a completely new server, I'd want mobility in-group, so probably add a wizard. On a new server, I'd also be a little worried about early-game dps, so perhaps swap an enchanter for a necro and go enc/clr/necro/wiz.

It's perfectly fine to have an opinion. So far you can't explain it very well. If you actually understood your own opinion, you could counter the points I made here: https://project1999.com/forums/showp...postcount=4808

I am not sure why you are so adamantly defending Troxx if you don't have a position though.

He's my alter ego.

As you can see, he can't explain why he thinks a Cleric is an ideal fit for this group composition. He copy pasted a post by Troxx to supposedly explain why he thinks a Cleric is an ideal fit. When I push back on this copy pasted post https://project1999.com/forums/showp...postcount=4808 , he cannot counter what I have said.

He also cannot explain why a pocket cleric doesn't work here. OP didn't say that you cannot bring pocket clerics.

You and your obsession with pockets. No one else is bringing up pockets.

As you can see, he still cannot explain why pocket characters are not allowed. Your nonsense is irrelevant.

Here are the facts:

1. OP did not exclude pocket characters from the discussion.
2. Pocket characters have been a common practice on P99 for years.

There's no "allowed" or "not allowed". You're free to bring up pocket characters. I'm free to find any argument relying on them unconvincing.

If there's two different group compositions, and neither is "necessary", the composition that doesn't rely upon pocket characters is better, in my opinion.

By the way, if you’re going to quote him please do not snip out the second half that provides all the relevant context and then agree “precisely” with the point he was not actually making.

You still haven’t named one single camp that requires a shaman. You claimed you could. Why won’t you? I’ll give you an off ramp here buddy. Just say “I chose the wrong words. I didn’t actually mean ‘requires a shaman’ I actually meant is easier with a shaman”.

You changed the word to "requires" for this post specifically, which I didn't say. I am not sure why you keep trying to play word games. Can you quote me where I said a Shaman is required for a camp?

When will you read my previous post to find your answer? I answered your question without the word "requires" multiple times, and you just keep asking.

As for Bcbrown's quote, the first part of the quote is the relevant part. Pocket characters are allowed, and are a normal part of P99. The second part just states the obvious that he can find any argument he wants. That doesn't mean any argument is good.

I am looking at the reality of P99 and incorporating it into my assessment. I am not doing wishful thinking and assuming that people won't use pocket characters for some random reason.

Thank you for conceding DSM.
