And I mean, it's not the fact that you're slower as you level up, it's the fact that you could all nearly solo to the level that your group would be obsolete. Without good heals and dedicated slows, your bard is going to be tanking, but not for long. You are not going to be able to group together in areas that require groups. Which is kind of the whole point.

im telling the wizard you said that..

but seriously, you are going to want a cleric, druids heals wont cut it later on. Maybe druid plays a chanter and wiz plays a cleric?

Replace the wizard with an enchanter and you'll be fine.

Slowed mobs + C2 and bardsong means the druid should be fine healing, and it still gives you flexibility for porting.

Like he said, the wiz is the least competent. Not sure having him be the chanter is a good thing.

Go with what you got. Oddball groups are always more interesting.

Don't forget the Gorge of King Xorbb and Runnyeye - those places are worth a visit.

Enchanter is duplicitous for crowd control with the bard. Serves as a buff class and someone able to slow at critical times. You learn to not depend on the enchanter, but expect he can perform some tasks when critical (tash, slow) and otherwise keep everyone fed with crack and haste.

Haste for melee and crack for casters and he's already worth it as an AFK class. Everything else is gravy.

Sounds exciting for the fella.

More interesting making things go boom.

i mean its diff if its a pug and you have to take what you can get but we are just trying to offer some advice that will lead to a LOT less downtime and faster killing in a game that takes hours and hours already to lvl.

We might be getting a sixth to play as cleric or shaman. I think bard and druid would be sufficient for healing. Anyway I am looking more for suggestions on hunting where at what level.

The idea of the wiz player being an enchanter terrifies me.

Better to have one you know you can't count on, than none at all.
