Question - Best dps setup

[EQman0311]

Running SK/Cleric/Enchanter/Zerker atm, Would I get more dps if I ran SK/Shaman/Bard/Zerker? or go SK/Cleric/Enchanter/Wizard with mercs?

Depends on gear, set up, macro you are using....

Everyone has their own opinion, but what matters is YOUR toons. Easiest way to find out is fire them up and run them in X configuration for a few hours with a DPS recorder of some sort running. Then tomorrow, change em up but hunt the same stuff in the same area... and let em kill for a few hours. Rinse and repeat.

This will give you an idea on what YOUR toons are capable of as you have them set up right now.

As you upgrade gear, or tweak macros, or gain 5-10 levels, you can try it out again.
-------------------------------------

Just an observation, I "think" with shaman set up to add melee procs, along with bard, and I understand zerker DPS ison par with wizzies right now, you will prolly see more DPS with that set up then just enchanter boosting wizard.

But again, depends on gear... AA...level... ect ect.

sk/sham/bard/ranger/beast/zerk : beast regen endu and mana /shaman never oom to heal/dot /buff (haste and stats) /zerk and ranger hs/decap if humanoid /bard buff all group and mez and sk is the better for agro/manatap/lifetap .
better if all with epic 2 (specially bard and shaman )

I have two teams, they're not subtle.

Caster: Tank, cleric, druid, enc, wizzy, wizzy. I can basically lock down anything with this group. i get 100k dps out of just the druid by itself, and thanks to EoKNuke pushing my wizzies for nuking over 1m hp DD hits (in just TBM/CotF group gear no less), mobs usually melt pretty quickly.

Then I have Tank cleric, bard, zerker, zerker, and then a slot leftover for whatever DPS I'm in the mood for. I don't notice a shaman makes any notable or significance in my group at all.

My approach essentially when selecting groups, since I'm always boxing no less than 6, is hybrids are a waste of time and you need to specialize each class to perform one thing better than anyone else.

But as Warl0ck45 so accurately said, they're your characters. First and foremost, play what's fun. I can't stand necros, shamans, and rangers, but other people love them. Second, exactly what Warl0ck45 said, keep playing around and tweaking.

Any chance you can PM me gear insight and ini for your Druid? I've got a TBM geared Druid I peak at 40K with mama inefficient dots rolling

Wen you say EoKNuke is that a /mac command?

I would swap the zerker for the wiz and add 2 wiz mercs for max dps. Wiz burns ftw, and its nice to chanter chromo and then mana burn if shit hits the fan and you are at the helm.

If you really want to turn up the heat, swap the Cleric for the Zerker and drop one of the wiz mercs for a cleric merc. Its been my exp in end, t2 group content a real cleric isnt necessary.

Any T2 namer I have done over and over with just 1 cleric merc. Mind you the toons should be all in T2 group gear with T2 weapons on da melees....

This using an earth pet / ranger tanking. All in just group gear and rares.

What kind of deeps do wiz mercs do?

 

[surfdog21]

I just add the wiz mercs rather than create / gear toons. I already run a shit ton of accounts. Better dps than a bard or cleric...
