Question - 3rd and 4th group (and computer question)?

[Crawdaddy]

Hello all! Just getting in to the KA family and had a question. What would the best 3rd and 4th groups consist of? I am looking to take advantage of the discounted HCs for the weekend. I am mostly looking to attempt some raid encounters once getting to 105 and upgrading gear. Currently my groups are:

Group 1:
2 Wizzes
1 Cleric
1 SK
1 Bard
1 Enc

Group 2:
1 War
1 Pal
1 Bst
1 Clr
1 Bard
1 Rogue

Another cleric in each new group for 4 total? Shaman & Druid for patch healing? Another pally for splash? What kind of DPS?

2nd Question. My main computer is pretty new so its not having any problems running 6 but one of my older computers is lagging with 6 even with all graphics down. What else can I do to make it a little less laggy?

Thanks for the assistance!

Try mq2viewport or mq2fps if not already using. Should help with lag.

Non-MQ solutions include wineq2 and isboxer, but they're probably not necessary if you're just wanting it for performance. I use ISboxer for the ease of switching screens, being able to see all my chars in mini-boxes on a second monitor, and broadcasting hotkeys.

As far as groups - I'm only running 1 group... but I think you would benefit from having all your ADPS/buff classes covered. Maybe add a Ranger, Druid, and Shaman, and when you're playing all 4 groups together create optimal groups - 1 melee DPS group, 1-2 caster DPS group(s), etc. However, I could easily be wrong... you might be best off just adding a lot more wizards and ADPS classes to support them lol.
