Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[eqravenprince]

Thank you for all the feedback. I think everyone has a lot of great ideas/thoughts on this subject. We went with shaman, enchanter and 2 necros. I'm the one playing the extra necro. I could have gone enchanter or mage, but with kids/wife it's nice to just feign death and afk at a moments notice. But I do agree in theory that possibly either of those classes offered a bit more than an extra necro.

Great combo! You are going to destroy things.

Ripqozko is basically UCF but without a guild tag. Also people still don't care about your bad Warder loot. Sorry you think participation trophies are bragging rights.

I'll post an example so Troxx can follow suit if he wishes to on his Mage:

[Mon Aug 22 08:13:54 2022] You have slain froglok jin shaman!

6,549 damage over 93 seconds = 70.5 DPS

This is 70.5 DPS to a froglok jin shaman in Sebilis just using a 50% hasted Spirit of the Howler pet and Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt. The pet is not max level. He is hitting for 47, so that is a lower end pet (max is 52, each level increases damage by 2). No need to root/rot with this setup in a group, and the DoTs only last 7 or 8 ticks.

A single set of Bane of Nife + Envenomed Bolt costs 745 mana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjZxMlJSCDc using this video, it looks like you can Torpor recover mana at around 14 mana per second. If you include C2, it is more like 16 mana per second. This means you can recover the 745 mana in 46 seconds. That is easily the length of a fight if Enchanters are fighting 2 mobs with charmed pets. This means the DPS is generally sustainable too.

Wrong answer in classic EQ, correct answer for P99.

It was probably the correct answer in classic too. People just didn't know any better and/or weren't as good at the game. Competent enchanters can manage charm pets with almost zero or zero issues for extended periods of time these days. But yeah generally I agree with you. Funny how a shaman main can acknowledge that shaman isn't necessarily the best at everything in every situation. Odd concept lol
