In my opinion Zerker for the merc. At higher levels the Shammy should be able to solo heal your group depending upon what you are trying to do.

Just my 2 cents,

Be well. Happy gaming.

I disagree with the above. BST would fit perfect in that group. Solid enough DPS (way better than the Bard provides), but gives off very solid aDPS plus additional heals when needed in a pinch, additional tank in a pinch. At 110, shaman should be solo healing most content provided you are gearing tank 1st.

Compromise. Zerk x 2 and Bst. skip the Rog

My melee team is SK or Pally (sawpable), Brd, Clr or Shm (swapable), zerk, zerk, Bst or Rog (swapable)

When I say swapable what I mean is that those toons are on the same account so I can plug either one into that group slot.

Be well. Happy gaming.

Rog is amazing in ToL content though. Corpse recovery. Too many benefits to skip him. I would 2 Rog over the Zerks and keep the BST.

If you read between the lines of the writing on the wall, zerkers seem to be losing their lead on the dps classes. They're still neck and neck with rogues for now, but I would not be shocked to see rogues overtake them in the next couple of expansions. That said, I'm too attached to my zerker to drop him so I chose balance and have one of each .

I also vote bst for the 6th slot.

I might have to realign my accounts. Right now my account setup is:

1) SK, Pally
2) Enchanter, Bard
3) Cleric, Shammy
4) Mage, Zerker
5) Mage, Zerker
6) Beastie, Rogue

Might have to reroll one of the Zerkers and either double up on Rogue or go Zerker, Rogue, Beastie. Now if I go Zerker, Rogue, Beastie, I could drop the rogue on #6 and add an alternate aDPS, but then the question is, after BST, what is a good aDPS utility class?

Be well. Happy gaming.

oh maybe I misread. I thought you had 5 accounts and a cleric merc and were looking to add a 6th. If one of your zerkers is new and because of this thread, I'd just reroll him.

The guy you're talking to there is not the OP. That's why there's confusion.

Sorry about that. I replied to the OP and then we sort of went into a side conversation after I posted to the original guy. So to @knave23 I apologize for the confusion and thanks for the advice to specifically me and my melee alt set-up. And yes, the melee alts are no higher than level 19 or 20, so rerolling 1 Zerker, in my case, to a second rogue would not be an issue.

Be well. Happy gaming.

Ahh that's my fault too no worries haha.

A Mage is a class you really cant go wrong with for any group alignment or trying to decide last spot.

reason is:

1) Great DPS class
2) Damage shield buffs
3) Pet is an added Tank Person in a group

You get both Defense and Offense added to your group
