Back for another round of name that 6 box!

Im coming back to slay the gods.

Post your favourite set ups for PoP please!!!

Thanks
 
Rangers are the king of dps in pop era or at least they were right?

I'm thinking rogue and monk were up there too. War, rng, monk, rogue, cleric and enchanter for me. Could swap the cleric and enchanter for shaman and bst but I would prefer to have the mez and rez onboard.
 
Monk and Rogue's ruled that era for your melee. Id go with a cleric (shm didnt get strong heals for a few more exp), and chanter is also solid. Knights were terrible for PoP, they started to recover at dodh, so war def best tank. last spot, pretty sure rng's were decent enough, mages sucked, wiz just ok..
 
For boxes? Rangers will out dps any other class. And likely will into GoD with archery, too. You need Time+ weapons for melee to surpass archery, and it is unlikely your boxes will have those.

War/SK (pros and cons for either), shm, brd, rng, rng, the 6th slot can be a bst for buffs or a clr to free up the shm from all the healing. Id go with BST. However, plan on switching the rangers out with a different melee class by oow.
 
Rangers only out DPS other classes during Trueshot and in a raid setting. They are NOT bad DPS to have in a group - low threat, stay out of harms way. They also have an advantage that a crafted weapon makes them super strong.

Otherwise, Monks are still your king DPS. Rogues will start to overtake if raid geared and near the end, however, since this is a box server I would anticipate majority of people and their monks going for 2H (Fiery Staff) which would easily surpass 90% of rogues.

Myself: War, Shaman, Bard, Beastlord, Monk, Necro. Slightly oddball, and not gonna win any races, but will still have a blast all the same. Min/max at this level doesn't really make or break your team.
 
I would prob go war, clr, ench, shaman, monk, rogue. Warrior because they outshined knights in pop. Clr because shamen/druids didnt have ress yet + they werent strong healers in pop. Ench because they were alot better then bards at cc'ing and crack/haste. Shaman because patch heals, slower and nice buffs for the 3 melee. Monk, top dps and puller. Rogue nice dps, lockpick and corpse pulling.

But then again, thats what i would choose, play what you enjoy and have fun!
 
war, bard, cleric, mnk, mnk, mnk

war best tank
bard has haste, overhaste, mana regen, crowd control, slow, travel
clerics best healers and rez
monk best dps over the long haul

setup is easy, travel is easy, dps is easy, gearing is easy, little to no tinkering required
 
i run
mnk/mnk/mnk/brd/shm/clr
pretty much melt all it touches. come GoD ill be subbing out the cleric and making a zerker to replace it. its a melee blender that whips some some serious smoothie goodness

Do you have one specific monk set up to tank or do you just bounce the mob around?
 
i main a monk on raids so it generally holds the agro, but ya if needed the mob can ping pong hehe nothing stays alive long enough to do to much dmg
 
For me at least anything with a Monk. Only reason I keep coming back to this game...just stinks when I can't get my name on new servers.

I have yet to see this be the case. Epic monk (easy to get) out parses rangers all day long. I keep hearing / reading about how powerful rangers are and have yet to see a ranger top the charts outside their Trueshot (once an hour?). Maybe at one point in time but that’s not today.
 
Ranger boxes are really good on truebox TLPs because it takes so little effort to play them at 70% effectiveness

With MQ2 available, a monk is better
 
Once upon a time when our guild was raiding Fennin Ro - there was some shuffling of grps and a grp of 6 rangers ended up being not in the raid for the fight.
They were grouped together though - and the 6 rangers smashed the entire raid and got the xp for the kill.
It was impressive.
