Question - need some help on third box

[Brinah]

Hello everyone, I currently have a heroic team of ench, cleric. I am looking for a third for my box team.
I have tried warrior and sk, but they seem to die way too often. I am mainly looking for puller/dps.
I'm thinking about maybe necro or mage for dps, but with this team I need someone that can tank or take some damage too.
All my heroic characters I have now are f2p but third account is gold.Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I love KissAssist 8.

Also considering a 2 box team to go with Enchanter

warrior would be best with that backup alth personally id go for sk. Heroic sk shouldnt be dieing to much in Feerot esp if you also got a cleric merc (j5 on the gold acc)

If you tried a warrior and an SK and they both died you're not going to have much luck keeping a DPS class alive when they tank. Maybe go with a Mage and let their pet tank. It's not as good as it use to be, but it may work.

My mage and enchanter combo can take down named in Arx Mentis just fine. Just don't pull the mobs on top of the mercs! :-)

Heroic SK and Warrrior can solo in Feerott the dream with j5 merc

I have a non heroic 86 mage on my cleric account I could team up with chanter.
Do you use tank and cleric mercs with your setup eqgeek?

All my heroic toons are still 85 atm

My 85 Heroic sk has about 5600AC atm

My set up is Enc with a wiz merc and Mage with cleric merc. I have boxed almost every named in Arx with just them at 105. Sometimes I pop a second healer if I'm being safe but with Mental Contortion and Virulent Talon the extra healing isn't an issue usually. My mage is set up with role pettank and I use the enchanter to pull.

I'm now just thinking bout a good 2 box team
maybe heroic 85 SK(f2p), and heroic 85 warrior(gold), with 2 cleric mercs???

Both have around 5600AC atm

id drop the sk and have a warrior n cleric with 2 wiz mercs, or drop the warrior and have sk-cleric n 2 wiz mercs. sk will give you single pulls n snare.

Both are gold accts in group gear. I just finished my enchanter in T3 visible, still need some non. Mage has a mixture of T2 CotF, T2 TDS, and T3 TDS. Most named in Combine and below were killed before the mage had the 104 earth pet (with the EM XVI focus).

One named that is pretty hard for me is Commander in Degmar. He tends to randomly summon casters if you don't use a real tank. Also, things that make a big difference is slowing the mob. I say that because a mage pet doesn't hold up as well on named if you can't get a slow to land. Runes, spell runes, and over all good pulling are key as well.

This is basically NO dps. Even if your toons can tank, it will take you forever to kill. I prefer the warrior as a tank over the SK - generally sturdier out of the box, require no spells, only tomes and those I think are equal to the ones you need with the SK. The SK will have to worry about mana and endurance, but the war only had end to worry about.

SK is a better puller if you're actually pulling and not just afk. They can also swarm and do some handy things like summon corpses. Warriors can handle more mobs, but both excel with a bard singing haste and AC songs. If you added a bard you could chain pull to the warrior.
