So I haven't played live for a couple years looking to return if I were to purely use cwtn plugins what would be most optimal group comp?
Some potential comp ideas I had -
sk/clr/ench/bst/rog/zerk
sk/shm/ench/bst/rog/zerk
sk/shm/ench/mnk/rog/zerk
sk/shm/ench/zerk/zerk/zerk
sk/clr/ench/bst/mage/not sure last slot maybe a wiz even tho no cwnt sadly

Could also try swapping war in for sk but for whatever reason my warrior seems to die more often than my sk even in better gear.

you got the trinity listed. just a matter of filler for your taste.
I run war/clr/enc/brd/rng/zerg cause that is what I like and am comfortable with. Good thing is you can try before you by to some extent. Do the hatchery if you have a higher level char to pl some up, maybe on test if you have one to port over. All cwtn plugin's are free their.

already bought all of em lol just not sure what group would be optimal. all my chars are 110 atm and the zerker group far surpasses the others in dps but I've heard things change at 115 and they've also got more gear atm than the others. With ranger are you able to setup macro to only bow may try a ranger in there if so I have a 110 of that as well. basically have every class at 110 only issue is my brd and bst are on same account so if I want to swap in bard I lose my beast unless I level another same with ench its currently on my shamans account. sk/clr/ench/mag/bst/wiz seemed to be the most durable setup I've run so far never seen it die but its doing about half the dps of my melee setups

i guess your post was in cwtn section for cwtn plugins, currently we don't have a rng available - so you're not going to be able to cwtn ranger there.

I have several groups, my favorite setup is shd, shm, bard (no cwtn bard available, however), zerk, zerk bst. clr is definitely fine over shm and I would suggest doing clr if you haven't gotten your rez stick and 2.0 and already geared or plan on putting in time and energy into making your sh awesome. cleric out-the-gate is much safer/reliable

since no cwtn bard available - enchanter would work fine - but the dps difference with melee toons (and really even casters) and bards is pretty noticeable.

I would personally still go 2/3 zerks
 
I haven't gotten my teams to 115 yet so can't quite speak to that stuff. But yah the zerker group should smash stuff up pretty good over the others. I usually pull with bow and melee afterwards. I had it setup to use bow but my current camp is tight so I stopped. If I was camping outdoors, I'd bow up for sure but indoors I like my groups up tight. KA is what I use and there are a few threads around explaining how to setup your bow for melee.

PYou can PL the bard pretty quickly doing - hatchary to 85 then the beach then FM or hatchary - HoT courtyard till 90 and FM all the way to 110.


 
I run SK,cleric,chanter,beastlord and 2 zerkers I plan on switching to shaman but need to get a Rez stick and I’m gonna try to swap chanter for a bard because bard is still amazing compared to a chanter if your just starting out I would recommend my original setup and vary from there leveling was ez pz
 
okay I think I'm going to go with the sk/clr/chanter/zerk/zerk/bst I've always played on FV but think I want to try a normal live server any recommendations? Looking at magelo top characters seems drinal/xegony have highest raid population i duno
 
come to FV.. the water is just right.. and over priced.. the CWTN plugins play very well with each other, however, havent had a issue with bard plugins, used Mule, kiss and RG.. The top group make up that ive seen is (if all gold) is sk/shm/brd/bst/zerkx2.. if your going just for a 5th, id put a 2nd zerk.. F2P, id pay for the tank, and go sk/shm/enc/magx2 (and name your 6th later, i tried dru/necro/brd/bst and settled on the bst for best value).

Play what you like or need, we all have our favorites.. when you get to the min/max point, MQ (and RG's) make it easy to change out char :)

im currently doing all gold so will probably stay that way. currently running 6-8 with a few oog like cleric for rezes since my shm doesn't have rez stick but does have 2.0 so have him in group. only class I don't have on the right account is a bard / ench. currently my enchanter and shaman are on same account and my bst/brd are on same account. Would you drop the shaman/1 zerker to group the cleric while powerleveling a bard to keep enchanter in group for mezzing while bard is being pl'd or should I just run sk/shm/brd/bst/zerk/zerk even tho the bard is only 99 or 100 and not able to mez anything yet?

Tanky Piece of Mind Team: War or Sk, Cleric, Enchanter, 3x of whatever you like
Cheap Pice of Mind Team: Sk, Cleric, Enchanter, 3x Mage

Krono pop all for autogrants at 110...you'll own eq. If you want to sub more than one account change 3x mage for 2x berzerker 1x beast.

if your staying gold, zerkers are a good bang for the buck.

While CWTN doesnt support out of group stuff, the healers will heal whatever is on xtarget. this also used to work (not sure if it still does) put your tank on extended target of the healer, set the healer to MA for the dps grouped with it.. tank char runs amd pulls, healer gets agro, everybody else piles on... the direct line tools (rg, ka, mule) can do direct assist however, so can always run alternate programs as your leveling at larger then group sized.
