At OOW/DoN xpac.
Currently war/clr/brd/zerk.
Adding a 5th.
Kinda split between rgr/mag/shm. What do you recommend and why? Not using automation
 
Tank, Heals, ADPS/CC, DPS
Need DPSx2
I feel shm loses value when you already have a cleric.
Mag is good in general, but helpful for mana casters/pet classes.
and Rng is fine in general, they are a DPS character. They have some benefits such as headshot, double dmg bow shots, etc.

Based on that information I would say Mage and Ranger and not to wait to do your 6th. Just do both at the same time.

Haha just not sure if my krono production can keep up with 6! Otherwise I'd have 6! Thanks for the feedback!

I'm assuming you're on Teek. Make a Monk, they are amazing DPS for a very long time and easy to box with no automation. Back in that era I did run War, Monk X2, Bard, Sha and Clr. It was super strong and with 2 others 6 boxing you can farm plenty small man raid targets.

I do think monk would be the strongest option, I just have problems with the other 2 melee always attacking and being in range sometimes lol. Especially on mobs that fear or have some knockback. The rgr autofire and mage eliminate that dillema.
This is obviously a get good problem

It is and it isn't. Some of us just got good in other ways lol.
I would wager a lot of people may gloss over the fact that you mentioned you weren't using automation.

I would say mages are easy to leverage and always convenient, especially for those times when its easier to just coth everyone...
however, I have little experience boxing this many nowadays. Smartiez seemed to have a good idea.

I 4 boxed without automation for years on live, shm sk enc mage. Mage is very easy to "hotbutton". 1 to assist and send in pet, 1 to line up 4 nukes (or is it 5? has been a while and I'm old :P), a couple for the swarm pets and other AA attacks.

Yea this was my reasoning for tthe mage lol. Super easy class to box

Lol I wish TLPs let automation through!

Yea the ease that mages are boxed is what makes them so desirable for me, that and theyre not a bad class.

It isn't the "tlp" that is the issue, it is the "truebox".
