Yeah, I understand about bard twisting interfering with conversation. Our guild on Live had a Ventrillo server, and we were all in voice chat. When we made a group, we also made a channel for that group so we could stay in contact. Quite frankly, that voice chat was not only just fun, but it sure did help with group communication. If a CHeal was looking like it was going to be too slow, I could call out for fast spot heal, or for someone to FD. It helped with splits, pulls, knowing what was inc, and of course the Bards finally got to really engage in conversation with the rest of us. There were groups where nothing was pretty much ever said in text chat at all. Just spell, pull, mez, and other hotkeyed messages.

As a Cleric, my premier concern is mana regen, as that is what determines what we can kill, how much we can kill, and how long we can kill. So my ideal group is probably a little slanted, but what did I really enjoy?
Me, Chanter, Bard, Necro, SK, (Any other class). The first four all provided me mana regen, although I don't know at what point SK's can start tapping the mobs to provide me mana on P1999, or if they will ever get that ability. It sure enhanced their desirability on Live once they got it, and made them one of my favorite tank/utility classes. Bard charm, CC, pulling, resist buffs, dps, and of course mana song made them one of the most desirable classes in the game for me. Necro's had awesome DPS, could pull, made killing undead easy when coupled with my undead nukes, could recover our corpses quickly instead of wasting tons of time, and of course twitched. Chanters? Mind candy, CC, haste, slow, increased mana pool, dps, resists, and stunning caster mobs. Beyond that, any other class worked awesome. But that was just an ideal group at the level I played at. Quite frankly I'd play in some of the oddest group combinations and strangely enough, almost every one of those odd assed combinations worked just fine. | ||

I'll group with any tank, but no group needs more than one Hybrid.
....and Rangers are a waste of EXP. | ||

Personally I think people who look down on min/maxer are the MMO equivalent of hipster douche bags. "Go play WoW or some other "mainstream" game if you don't want to waste as much time as humanly possible on account of people poor charecter choices." I played EQ from Kunark 'til POP on live and I never made a peep about my XP rate. Now its a decade later and things have changed, I have a job, a wife, a social life and hobbies outside of video games. Of course I'm going to want to progress as much as possible with the little time I have to play.
Long story short, get off your high horse you whiney neckbeard. Not everyone has hours and hours to waste on groups full of xp sponges. | ||

Okay, lemme refraise it for you, ass.
I don't have as much time to play as I did twelve years ago, but the time I do have to play I would like to feel like I accomplished something ingame. Xp spounges make that more difficult, so if I can I avoid grouping with more than one of them at a time. If you think that is unreasonable, then you're likely a fatty who has nothing going on in his life aside from video games. | ||
