I would suggest everyone picks the class that sounds good to them after reading the descriptions at character creation.

If you want the most powerful group it is obviously 5 mages chaining pets. maybe 4 mages + cleric for rezes. You could argue 4 enchanters + 1 cleric. Or 4 necros + 1 cleric.

I would play the game for the fun of it though and not to be the most powerful like everyone else does.

I like the thought of this but I want to be able to do some group content (dungeons) and not have our experience downplayed by lack of a certain role.

Keep in mind too that there's always some people who will play (much) more than others. To keep in-level with the rest of the group, you should agree ahead of time that if somebody starts getting too far ahead, that they start ramping up an alt.

Having a couple of guys with more than one like-level character will then give your group more flexibility to plug-and-play based on the needs of a particular zone.

there is absolutley Z E R O content you cant do with 4 mages and 1 cleric ... its basicly ripping trought every zone there is ... air pets come close to good equiped rogues DPS wise in classic ... the damage shields, best healer / HP buffer in game ...

hands down, you could do anything with that, there is no content excistant yet that you couldnt bring down with that ... besides death touching mobs because you will run out of people before the 32k hp are up [You must be logged in to view images.

it would be boring as heck thou, i would stick to a real group like you are planing to ...

warrior is awesome, a bit weak on agro holding in classic, only fixable with highend gear ... and the only true mana efficient raid tank, and even more so in kunark when defensive discipline is released ...

SK is a great agro holder, and for groups acceptable tank... but as raid tank ... nuh uh >< takes so much mana to keep those up ... you wont belive it ...

Paly good tank, also not so bad in holding agro when healing him self a bit / blinding / stunning mobs, all 3 good agro generators ... also rezing is a nice side effect, but will only become "good" once kunark is released since 90% rez is a lvl 59 paly spell ...

if you wanna tank on raids ever, go for a warrior ... if you wanna do group content, and participate in raids etc. pick what you like best ...
