Question - 6 box options

[eqmoo]

Hey guys,

Currently running war/clr/ench/mage/mage/wiz on cornaiv -- only level 6 atm.

Was wondering if i'll start hating this at some point and wish i went with something else?

Figured you folk would know!

Thanks

I can't see why not. I think it's a great set up. Personally I like SK's but thats just preference.

thanks for the reply, i was thinking SK but didnt want to be limited to tanking options end game -- is warrior really needed or can i roll with a paly or sk?

I use my SK to tank everything in the end game. I mean, they aren't normally primary tanks for raids but end up as off-tanks. So long as you aren't planning on using your tank as your main toon then all will be well.

There are, however, may great reasons for using the tank as your main - as the class most dependent on gear is always the tank. My team with t2 group geared RoS tank gear is able to handle 8 mobs in Sathir's tomb when using deflection and shield flash to tank. If that's not enough end game for you then I don't know what is

I Was thinking just for classic to velious content

War / Sk in the same group allows you to plow alot of mobs, but adding a ranger is your best bet!

What advantages do rangers offer for classic TLP?

A sloppy war will outdo a decent sk, if played. They just tank that much better. I am in all conflag gear tank better (war) than sk in t2 ros. Of course i know my toon too. I hear kiss uses a sk better than a war tho. Pretty much in todays game tho if u keep ur tank geared u have a happy group. My group if i were on tlp would be war cleric chanter wiz wiz wiz (no beserkers yet). You have a similar setup

So what are you actually using to do the 6 boxing -- I can manage 2 maybe 3 with the truebox rules but it seems like 6 has to be close to impossible

That is a great box. I'd keep it or change War for SK just for the versatility. If you get bored, recreate the same team with different accts. I.E. put another tank on the cleric acct, and a cleric on the wiz, etc

I've found that I hate 6 boxing on Truebox, lol.

4 box is the most I personally can handle.

I've settled on Cleric, Enchanter, Mage, Monk
