Question - 3 box newbie

[trippa3]

Hey everyone, i am just now starting to get into this and learning alot. Im really confused on what to 3 box and fill the rest with mercs. Right now i have mage, warrior, chanter. I think i want to keep mage and chanter, will it hurt me post 85 in instance leveling if i use mage pet tank instead of warrior and replace him with something else or do i HAVE to have a playable tank like sk,war,pal? Thanks!

it's better with a player tank. I'm guessing the warrior shares an acct with the mage or ench?

I'd either pay to transfer the warrior or buy a heroic character and run with a heroic warrior.

Mage pets can tank group content but mage pets and healer mercs give you a narrower margin for success in particular when it comes to killing a named.

An SK or Pal for a group tank is also an option if you didn't transfer the warrior, it comes down a lot to personal preference at that point, there are some good reasons to use each.

I agree with Darkie, it makes life a lot easier to have a tank. That being said once the mage reaches end game level, you can tank namers and be just fine. Odds are by that time you'll probably have more than 3 accounts anyway though

I would honestly go Warrior, Bard, Zerker.. The rest fill in with 2 healer mercs and a caster merc.
