Cleric is just better because you can keep the ideal pet and not have to worry about healing it up w/ a blur.

With a Torpor Shaman your pet doesn't need to take damage, the Shaman can tank the mob with Torpor and Slow. Then your Pet and third party member can poke the mob's butt for more damage.

Yeah Enchanter/Shaman is a very smooth experience, I like it. As long as there are enough players on both servers, it's not hard to get ports or the rare res.

Cleric is going to come in handy for even 50% Rez. Gonna save a lot of hours in lost experience when you have Rez at your fingertips. While a shaman may be stronger and help clear faster, you are going to die and the Rez is going to make things easier.

Realistically it isn't tough to find a res pretty quickly in most areas. There are exceptions of course, but the population on the server is still quite healthy.

This whole thing about self farm as you level. Not what classes work at 60 with full spell books.

You're so dense sometimes. Just stop. Its enc + cleric + whatever the 3rd wants to play it doesn't matter.

Im not sure whats difficult about this. You level characters so you can get to 60.

Leveling to 60 is easy with just about any trio, unless you do something silly like 3 rogues.

The only dense idea here is trying to min/max leveling just for the sake of it lol. Whats the point of getting to 60 if you don't like the class, or can't farm the things you want?

I am not saying Ench/Cleric/Whatever is bad or slow. I am countering the idea that other trios without a cleric are going to take a lot longer, or won't be able to get gear while leveling. It sounds like most people on these forums haven't leveled without a Cleric lol.

If OP's trio doesn't make it to 60, that's fine too. Leveling 1-50 is even easier with most trios.

You don't need to take my word for it either. Just look at the market and the wiki.

Why is Fungi Tunic so popular? One of the reasons is it is the best leveling tool from 1-50 for any class that can use it. That means 150HP/Minute of mitigation is already really good for that level range. A Shaman at level 29 can heal for 270HP/Minute and recover the mana from meditating. With regen you are recovering 320 HP/Minute, which is 2 Fungi Tunics on top of each other. Shamans also have slow for mitigation.

If I can level a twinked monk from 1-50 with a Fungi solo quickly (1 level an hour from 30-40 for example), a lot of trios with bad gear can do the same. Think of the other players as pieces of gear if it helps. An Enchanter with pet is basically a monk with an IFS (or better). A Shaman/Cleric/Druid is like wearing 2 fungi tunics for your tank. The numbers are easy to calculate.

People who have leveled enough characters should know how easy mobs are from 1-50. Past level 50 you will have enough spells and equipment to level from 50-60 just fine. You can pick up a lot of gear you missed once you get to the low 50s if some content was too hard at a lower level.

OP's post:

He is clearly NOT asking, "What is the absolute most powerful trio at 60?"

He's specifically asking for a trio that can level together effectively and acquire gear from dungeons. Implication: you need three classes that aren't super gear dependent, that operate well indoors and which are strong and capable all the way from 1-60 (meaning NOT backloaded in power like the Shaman class).

He does not give a single, solitary FUCK about your Torpor Shaman fetish, so please stop stroking yourself in this thread as you prattle on endlessly about how powerful Shamans are at 60. Literally everyone knows this. Shamans are an extremely OP class at 60 when geared out with a full spellbook. You don't have to remind anyone of this fact. It's simply not germane to the question at hand, because the OP presented very specific criteria that you are willfully ignoring.

Now please cease your autistic Ogre posting and return to Oggok.
