Best 4 person all caster/priest group

[Troxx]

So you want the best “intelligence” only caster group?

Best: ench ench ench necro.

Enchanters for obvious reasons. Necro provides heal potential if priests are off the table. This brings the most raw power to the table.

Alternative: ench ench necro mage.

Mage provides malo, haste masks + other perks along with decreased risk with 1 less charm to manage. Lower dps but higher safety margin.

Sub in wizard of you want to consider fancy planar targets or want some general mobility.


A pure intelligence caster thread is a lot less interesting to debate than one that includes all casters

The title of the thread says "Best 4 person all caster/priest group". With OP's clarification of cloth caster, that is a four man group comprising of a combination of the following classes: Wizard, Enchanter, Necromancer, Magician, Shaman, Druid, Cleric. That is what we have been discussing already.

What DSM said.

[Duik]

That was to NOT include bards.
Including bards would certainly open up this discussion to new and interesting alternative combos. Since you know the answer was given in the first few pages.

I would love to justify the bard despite it being against the rules, and it isn't terrible 55+, but I just can't see it beating mage or shaman or second enchanter in this group.

[Duik]

It would if it was just int caster + brd. That is what i was alluding to.

[Infectious]

DSM coming with straight facts, with actual math behind it. Anybody else want to step up and be wrong?

[Duik]

Oh no, DSM is Infectious.

Yeah in a level appropriate range for kaesora and charasis that duo fucks. But when level appropriate for kaesora the necro doesn't have a good HoT or a rez. Not that you should die in kaesora as an ench, that'd be kinda embarrassing

[Nostalgiabait]

Being purely practical about it, 3 enchanters and a druid would be a hard team to beat.

They'll get to where they need to go, and they'll be there first.

Encs provide CC and superior DPS via charm. No other class configuration of 3 characters is going to be able to do either one better. Druid can heal well enough on casters, and can evac if TSHTF, snare prevents runners. Outdoors you can harmony to utterly trivialize everything.

The only alternative that's worth looking at is Enc x3 + cleric, but given that seemingly everyone has a high level cleric alt to log on at their convenience for rezzes, that's not really a real-world factor.

Enc is just an insanely OP class and can handle everything besides healing. So the question is which healer do you want to add; any of them would be perfectly fine, but the druid brings the most support skills to the table by a fairly wide margin.
