Plugin - Frostreaver optimal 6 box comp recommendations both 1-60 and 60 named farming (1 Viewer)

[Ghost]

So I'm leveling my 3rd group now just to try and get as much of the lvl 60 bonus as I can before AA's come out.. I have every class of CWTN purchased and want to run a pure CWTN group. What would yall recommend as the most optimal full CWTN group? Idc if I run some of the same classes I already have now as that'll just mean I already have gear for em.

Currently I've ran war/clr/shm/brd/mnk/zerk and clr/dru/enc/enc/mag/wiz (needed some porters lol) open to any suggestions of classes yall think would run the best seeing as lower levels MQ doesn't function as optimal as max due to mana limitations. I'd imagine anything with an enchanter would be great.

Thanks in advance for suggestions and happy hunting gents!

for named farming, I'd lean towards melee toons because mana issues can be rough.

I've been slow rolling it, not even 60 yet with my first grp i started a week ago. Was in seb last night and killed some nameds.

I'd probably go with one of these 2 setups if i was focusing on nameds:

Enc/cler/bst/mag/mag/mag or bard

Tank/Clr/Enc/Monk/Monk/bard or bst

I was in ABC in seb with a SK/clr/Enc/Mag/Nec/Wiz all lvl 50-52, no charm because the chanter gets mulched soon as it breaks. was able to clear armsman PH, bartender room, Chef room, Froggy PH, and Armorer PH while also keepign the big room with the stairs and the wanderers down. most of the time we were oom after each kill.

so my goal was to run something as plug and play as possible. currently my setup is

pally/wiz/clr/enc/mage/mage all ran by rg mercs

pally and clr for endless heals as needed. ENC because rg mercs cc with chanter is super good, as well as clarity for mana heavy. mages for DPS and earth pets to off tank/ just tank if needed. wiz for big dps.
i also have a druid persona on my cleric account so i can swap out druid and cleric as needed, since i have pally group heal, and rez with him. Also have a sk made on pally account in case i want to swap them out.

ive heard melee doesnt do well until later, so mainly running this setup for now. i havent had any issues.

downsides -
no selos( if i really want to, i could just pay someone to vaniki achievment all my toons for 3 krono and use the mount)
mana heavy

Ya I was thinking about trying out a knight for my third group. I personally thought melees do better than casters right now because of mana issues. In early expansions and the bots don’t like to sit while mobs in camp so my mage group mages usually sit oom and send pets meanwhile my melee group can just plow thru mobs. I will say tho my caster group leveled far faster purely due to how op charm is so I doubt I’ll ever level without an enchanter again. Maybe if everyone is twink but not naked lol

Ya the 2nd group is one I was considering trying. I love mages but since I can’t get em to stay sitting on their ass while mobs in camp they just blow one mob up then stay oom for hours… it’s usually just my enchanter pet and the mage pets beating everything down. Enchanter cc makes places I’ve gone far easier tho when leveling my first group everyone was naked so my group died a lot having just a bard trying to cc. I appreciate the recommendations will definitely be trying out all the comps recommended here and will post back results as they come.

My group is warr/bard/cleric/shaman/monk/monk both monks have epics now and everything outside raid content is a joke.

ya almost my exact group except i added a zerker instead of double monk just for some variety. May just make another with double monks or possibly even drop the shm for a 3rd monk since mine mostly is just a dotter or slow for hard content. most normal stuff dies so fast i dont even use slow lol

If you want to run a melee group with two healers, then I'd recommend:

SK, BRD, SHM, DRU, BST, and ROG, or BZK, or MNK.

Why the DRU and not a CLR? Because of ports, debuffs, nukes, dots, and because the difference in AC/HP and healing between a CLR and DRU is not great enough to ignore all the versatility. There's also a nice synergy in buff stacking with a SHM. Any tank will do, I just prefer the SK to the alternatives.

I am running BST/SK/DRU/BRD/MNK/BER and i feel like the beastlord really covers the shaman role well with more dmg, esp once i get all my melee avatar weps. Beastlord still has chloroblast to heal with. The druid Evac/Ports/DS/PL ability is really amazing. I usually run Shaman or cleric, but really trying to make Druid work until PoP drops. It's so nice to have bst/ber during velious era.

Im running War, Shm, Bard, Monk, Clr, Wiz. Been doing very well. I like melee over casters because of mana downtime. The 1st group I did was SK, Mag x2, Wiz, Enc, Clr it was good but had to med like every 3rd mob. I run all CWTN Plugins

Ya that’s my issue with casters I find myself typically just ignoring my casters mana and using mage pets + charm to kill everything. I will say my caster group even not using mages for anything other than pets leveled soooooo much easier because of charm being so op. My melee group was rough going specially since It was my first group so gearing was pretty minimal. This go around I plan to fully gear everyone.. nothing bis or anything not tryin to drop 1000 Kronos but I imagine I can get everyone moderately geared for 5-10 krono enough that I’ll be happy with em.

I rly like this idea actually. After leveling monk and zerk to max tho I think I’ll go double monk instead of splitting like I did my first group. My 60 zerker has way more gear than my monk who’s basically in garbage but has epic and does about 30% more damage over my zerker. I’m sure on motm mobs zerker probably will pull ahead due to fists being so bad now on raid targets but for group content I love my monk so much I wanna roll 2-3 more lol I love the idea of bst tho I don’t have one of those yet. Will definitely be giving this group a try appreciate ya!

I didn’t rly “want” to run two healers per say I just did it with my first group because I knew I’d be leveling mostly naked and gearing as I loot stuff so figured it would be more beneficial to have a backup healer until I can get some gear on my guys. Now that they’re 60 and geared up I find myself not needing more than just 1 healer either the cleric or shm for group stuff. I will say tho I’m glad I have the shaman for small man targets as the slow is rly nice to have.

My first group was a Pally tank and self-healed most content in whatever gear I found along the way. I also had a druid in the group that kept the rest of the party topped up and backup healed the tank when needed. I did find it easier to run the pally manually because automations just blew through mana on unneeded heals and stuns. Really fun group through, so recommend pally if you want to try something new. The group was PAL/DRU/ENC/BST/MAG/BRD.

My second group is more standard WAR/CLR/ENC/RNG/BER/WIZ. With hand me down gear from the first group, it's super fast.

I'm also trying to get my third group started with MQ down today, but not sure where I'll land yet. I'm thinking of maybe doing an all Iksar/all Kunark run.

Yea I just use the enchanter for CC/Buffs and some nukes/DoTs. I dont feel like having to manage a charm pet anymore after maining an enchanter for so long. I did pretty much the same with the mana as long as my cleric was good I pressed on.
