That would probably be the tankiest option. Don't forget self SoulFire clicks in emergencies. This does assume AA's don't change this somehow.

I think Warrior/Monk/Rogue would be the ideal raid tank though. This is because you can instantly swap from being a top DPS to being the next main tank if the current one dies. You could have like 20 of these players in your guild, and you'd always have enough tanks and DPS simultaneously.

Just imagine how much DPS you're doing when you are swapping between Abashi's and Rogue Epic for Backstabs.

I feel like I'm making a dozen characters before I settle on a combo I like.

Stacking Vexing Mordinia and Torpor could be pretty powerful.

While Lich + Canni dancing

Then spamming Jyll's Zephyr of Ice and Jyll's Wave of Heat and Jyll's Static Pulse could be interesting. Mix in some Necro ... Defluxes

Plus pet(s) damage.

I could see it.

On p99 Monk/War/Shm would probably be pretty dope.

THJ was so different that my traditional theory crafting went out the window. Combing skills from AAs with other class AAs was the real bread & butter.

I dont think any of the skills in classic would really compound the same way.

So i feel like it'd be more traditional mechanic combos would be ideal.

like what could trio best, would probubly three class best here.

AOE slow, torp, monk dps and warrior armor and weapons would probably be pretty OP

Can rogue backstab while facing their target on p99? That was the thing that made them good on THJ.

But the ultimate combo by the end of that server was Pal War Mnk, combinging shield damage bonus, with warrior clickable AA damage bonuses, and Monk something that i forget.

This

If EQL works similar to THJ than it seems all the THJ folks are aligned in that what we think about class strengths and weaknesses likely mean nothing and that all the power comes from what AAs are available and how those AAs create exponential power accross classes. This is where 99% of the power comes from based on feedback from THJ. Obviously EQL could be different...we will see.
