Why shaman over cleric? Cleric has better heals, HP buffs, and rezzes.

Enchanter can slow, and tash.

Enchanter doesn't have the mana to keep his pet up, CC, haste and slow everything. Shaman is on slows and heals. Shaman has slow, dps, stat buffs, torpor and exponentially better mana regen than cleric thanks to canni. Clerics have a LOT of down time in smaller groups.

Edit: With the cleric you do get rezzes though. But... Meh... Who plans to fail? PLAN FOR SUCCESS!

? Shaman can tank and rogue can BS so why is the warrior there? Might as well drop him for some... Iono... CC? Shaman/Enchanter/Rogue!

Shaman, Enchanter, Monk is probably the most fun of the top tier combinations out there.

There's overlap with the Shaman and Enchanter but it's a GOOD overlap not one that detracts from your synergy. Shaman slows are far superior, lets the enchanter focus less on utility and more on control. It also is AMAZING having Shaman Malo + Chanter Tash for even more lock down on your charmed pets, it's seriously a FREAKING HUGE difference.

Earlier in this thread the OP was concerned about starting near each other. This combination also allows for this. Human monk, Human chanter, Barb Shaman. You're right there in Qeynos and Blackburrow.

The monk is solid dps, can tank when needed, and can pull what you need pulled. There's very very little this combination can not do.

Ports are one of the easiest things to come by.

Blanket statements aren't helpful. Depends who you are / what guild you are in/ what time of day. I am in a pretty big guild, BDA, and still have trouble getting ports sometimes unless I say "this is chest someone come port me," but eventually people will realize and stop falling for it.

In all seriousness, I started this game with a porter friend, and without having easy access to a porter I would have lost so much time/ money in not having access to many camps across zones, and being new here you might have even more trouble.

I would seriously consider adding a character that can port if anybody is willing to play one.

Eh, I trio'd for a while Enc, Clr, Paladin (me as Clr) and never had mana issues 35-40 in lguk/solb. The paladin took so little dmg and the mobs died so fast that just clarify was more than enough to keep my mana up. I ended up doing undead nukes some of the time cause I'd be at FM. I also was doing stuns for casters&runners. I will admit that the pally was twinked to the 9's though.

Fails will always happen, this is everquest where death comes swiftly, although it is relatively easy to get rezzes in most places these days from other clerics.

A Donals Breatplate Cleric and a Warrior can take down Ragefire. So think about that. Killer combo not counting a Chanter.

A porter is really not necessary. Enough plat will talk ANY porter to port. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shaman+Warrior can do it to! No BP needed.
