Ok am boxing 4 right now a BST, SK, Cleric, Shaman all 110. An maybe that's not the right make up but i was looking to maybe add another account but it would have to be silver, until i farm pp for krono. I was wondering what people would stick there? I was thinking maybe a bard to sit in the corner and play happy music for me but i don't want to waste a spot for a useless toon right now with out a 5th box i am running 2 Rog mercs for DPS. Any thoughts would be great thank you for taking the time to reading this.
 
Yes a bard.. The songs will benefit your group, even if you sideline one DPS merc.

you have tank and heals covered (2 heals is kinda overkill, but its not a deal breaker or anything --- better to be MORE alive than less alive)
bst is dps/adps - they're a mix of giver and taker

you don't have any pure deeps and you don't have CC/dedicated adps

I would suggest getting 2 - a bard (giver) and a zerk (pure taker), or an ench and a mage.

zerks are very simple and very popular box dps toons - tossing a bard and zerk in your group would be a very big increase.
 
Ok, cool thank you Sic. yah i was thinking about dropping the Cleric once the Shaman MQ2 drops cause i think the healing is over kill at kinda right now am useing a Kiss assist to have shaman do DPS and back up heals.
 
Not sure about others, but the dps boost for a bard is 10 to 15%ish for my group. You can also swap the bard in for slows as well. Then you also have CC with the bard as well. It's an all around good choice as a utility class.

Every group needs a bard. Bards just make the world better. And sics suggestion of a zerker is top advice too. With that group you can rock. I have a shaman as my main (only) heals btw and KA covers that role no problem, so if you wanted to you could swap out the cleric for another toon with no issues. The only thing you will be really lacking here is combat Rez, though you can get staff of forbidden rights to cover that on the shaman if you wish.
 
Cool. Thank you all for your help! I will start working on the bard. And when I upgrade my comp I will see if it can run the 6th account and use a zerker. Thank you again
 
I've got a similar comp and it's been lots of fun so far (level range 100-110)

Sk, Bst, Bard, Clr, Mag, Zer
 
With the new expac bringing even more undead a paly/shammy combo for tank/heals is a solid choice. great synergy of buffs and heals/spot heals
