Discussion - Chanter Or Bard for All Knight Group

[eqman22]

Hey guys. I am going to create a new experimental group using 1x Paladin, 3x Shadowknights, Shaman, and either Bard or Chanter. This will be on a live server, and will be a 100% FTP group after I max level and AAs. Which do you think would be better for this group out of the Bard and Chanter?

all ftp? regretfully i would say enchanter.

enchanter's toolkit helps overcome a lot of challenges you're going to face

Part of this, type 5s, 7/8's gonna hurt melee (even sk). Bard its actually not as terrible, but chanter barely even notice missing augs, or low quality wep.

Oops, changing that to 3x SKs, not 4...Unless we can suddenly have 7 toons in a group lol

I usually write what this guy says in stone.

I love bards for melee groups - for caster heavy I always go chanter.

so many plug-in tools for chanter as well that make them soooo easy to run.

This made my heart laugh and be joyous lol. As a Perma-bard main, I will always say bard. Bardlife.

But ya, I'll also say to devote a ton of attention to that bard. Something playing 4 knights and a shammy will also want. Enchanter wins because you'll probably get more out of less with it.

This made me think of a different all-knight group that might work, PAL PAL PAL PAL NEC ENC. Necro makes things undead, paladins slaughter them, enchanter does haste/slow/clarity/crowd control, and the paladins all do stuns and heals and combat rezzes. Would it work any better or worse than using SKs?

1 SK, 5 pally. It will work.

I'd do 3SK, 3Paly

always have a rez and don't need cc if every mob has a tank that can self heal :P

Bard is an insane DPS once you get to the point in progression with knight specific 2hrs. SK are often top DPS in the game atm, but a huge chunk of that is due to bard.

That's the big trade off, DPS(bard) vs group survivability (enc)
