Question - Looking for opinions on a 6-box setup with 2 Rogues (1 Viewer)

[afortner87]

I’m working on building a 6-toon box team and I want to include 2 Rogues as my main DPS. I’m trying to figure out what the best overall group composition would be for leveling, group content, and handling named mobs at higher levels.


Right now I’m thinking about setups like:

1. SK / Shaman / Bard / Enchanter / Rogue / Rogue

• SK tank and aggro
• Shaman slows + melee buffs
• Bard utility and melee songs
• Enchanter CC/mana
• 2 Rogues for backstab DPS

1. Warrior / Cleric / Bard / Shaman / Rogue / Rogue

• More raid-style tank setup

1. SK / Cleric / Bard / Rogue / Rogue / Berserker

• Maximum melee DPS

My main questions:

• How well do 2 Rogues perform together in a boxed group?
• Is Bard + Shaman basically required to make Rogues shine?
• Would you choose SK over Warrior for a 2-Rogue team?
• Is Enchanter worth giving up another DPS slot for?
• Are there any better combinations I’m overlooking?

I’m mainly looking for a group that can level well, handle group content, and take on tougher named encounters.

When i am making a new group and its a melee set i start with a Bard Shammy Tank melee dps x2 then depending on what i am going to do with it ill either do a third melee dps or a cleric.

For Caster groups i start with a bard Dru Sk Enc mag wizzy. can switch out the wizzy for Nec if ya like.

My caster groups are very hard to wipe and caster burns are just silly good

Ok, so you are looking for 2 rouges in group, so melee focused DPS.

Your #1 is ok, but the shaman and enchanter is a duplicate. The shaman is better for melee group. I would replace ench with a ranger for different buffs, and their DPS is not bad either.

I run 2 rouges in group, limits buffs, but works good.

I believe for melee DPS, Sk, Shaman and Bard are base 3, then you add DPS you like to play,


Remember, have fun, and play what you like!
