I've been slowly adding to my crew over the past year and I'm up to 4 but I have been often boxing a friend's Druid who has been gone for a month or two but still paying his sub and uncertain of his return. I am a Bard main, so my group has just been progressively building off of that main box. I started with adding a Wizard so I could do AOE pulls and fell in love with the class, so that's sort of the second main. No forms of automation are currently being used on either of them. I then added a Mage because I needed some form of tank with taunt, but I'm stubborn and wanted more damage. Lastly, I then added an Enchanter for all the goodies they bring for casters, plus mezz and more pets for the Mage.Mischief, 85 Bard/Wiz/Mag/Enc
Now that I'm down to the last two spots, I know everyone is saying PUT AN SK IN THERE, but like I said earlier, I'm stubborn. I feel like I could put a second Mage in there and just put Druid in the last spot and still be able to get a lot done. If the Chanter has a charm there's basically 3 pet tanks there to protect the group. Now, I know that this might not be conventional and I would never expect even 3 pet tanks to be able to hold aggro as well as a PC tank... but how bad would it be? The Bard alts to a Pally and the Wiz alts to a Cleric and all these characters are pretty much full BiS. So, it's not like I don't have access to a tank, but I just wouldn't use it often for group missions, collections, hunter, that kind of open world group level stuff.
I do enjoy a challenge, but I just want to hear some other people's opinions on running a full caster group without a convential tank. I don't want to handicap my experience with this decision, but I feel pretty confident in my ability to do it. Please, knock me off my pedastal.
