Question - Help deciding on a 6th

[Gillybear]

My current team is a sk, shm, bard, enc, wizard - I'm split on what to do for a 6th toon. Currently in flux between a mage, zerker/rogue, or bst/ranger. Mage is mainly for coth utility but pet toys are cool as well and dps isn't bad. Zerker/Rogue would be for older boss content w/ decapitate and the rogue equivalent - plus rogue would be able to make poisons for melees and both obviously do good dps. bst/ranger would be for bst or ranger buffs + being hybrids would synergize well with my super utility comp.

Hope this makes sense, I'm pretty out of it at this point in the night. Can't make my mind up on what to roll as a 6th and hoping for some help deciding there.

If I can take a note from Razkle, you can never have enough Wizzies. They make stuff go boom. Plain and simple!

However, a rogue would be a great addition. They can really help a tank maintain agro with all their discs as well as make poisons which is nice. I don't know enough bout zerkers to comment.

Beastlords and rangers are great classes, in my opinion though, you've got enough utility out of your Mage, SHM, bard, enc, youre not gonna see as large of a benefit as you would from a Wizzy or a rogue.

These are my opinions, not by any measure a rule!

Yeah, a 2nd wizard was a thought but I'd rather not double up on wizards at this point in time.

One thing though - I don't have a Mage in the team, it's one of my options I'm thinking of for the 6th slot. Unfortunately I've really wanted a zerker/Mage/bst/rogue at max level on my team at some point in time lol. It's a relatively tough choice for me as it stands

I'd say go with mage, the mage toys (including Cauldron) are nice to have on tap plus COH. And DPS is still decent.

Ah I thought it said you already had a mage, that's my bad.. Mage is nice.. Wizzy is powah...

What do cauldrons provide?

Ah the write up in one of those links explains it nicely. Didn't realize mages could get a SoS type of buff with it. Bleh, can't decide if I want super utility or hard dps :/

Rangers and bsts are probably out of the running. My softspot for zerkers remain even though rogue would probably be better for my comp and Mage is definitely looking to be more useful than I first thought. That said though, most of mage's utility looks to be rather one off things for my comp so could always just level one at some point for that utility rather than adding it full blown into my comp.

Decisions suck

short answer: stat food, pet weapons, heal potion (emergencies maybe?), augs for box crew head shoulders, legs & feet, clicky DD

Yeah, think Mage will be what I roll with for now. Thanks for the feedback. Went from being my bottom choice to winning outright
