Hi all,

I have a SK/Shaman/Mage rn, feel like my dps is too slow so going to add 3 more, looking for suggestions on what to add.

Thanks for your time.
 
Depends on your level and server type (live/tlp/emu.).

Enchanters are more reliable CC until bards get their AoE mez (in the 80s?).

Clerics are more reliable healers during the mid-game (~70-100).

Any dps work completely fine for the other spots. It's really just personal preference.
 
Bst, bard, wiz
Thank you for response!

I recommend the bard, like everyone else said, and then maybe consider a rogue for shenanigans with shinies and dragging a mage corpse around if needed.

Otherwise, beast seems pretty reasonable, so does wizard. One has excellent synergy and one just, well, kind of blows things up, so that's cool too.
 
bst/bard/ thrid spot in order of personal preference Rog/Zerk/Ranger/Monk
Thank you for response!
Yeah, for that level I agree with everyone else. BST, BRD and whatever you want for the last spot.

It is often the case that my main group ends up SK/SHM/BRD/BST/ROG/MAG. You can crush anything with that group.

What are shinies?
Wiz, Wiz, Wiz & nuke em down!
💥💥💥 I thought wiz dmg was not good in current meta?
If you lean melee, rng, rouge, bard

If you lean caster, ench, wiz, and another mage.
Question for you and other Rog proposals above, how do you manage getting melee chars in range to hit things while boxing? With casters I have them all standing a distance away and have all skills bound to the same button, but for melee do you just tab and walk them up or is there some secret sauce?
I say try different combos and find out what you enjoy. Thats the most important thing is enjoy what you are doing.
Thanks!
 
Also, it's amazing to see this community is so active, never thought I'd get so many helpful replies !! :)<3

It depends on what you are trying to do. Do you want a swiss army knife group or a pet group or caster group or melee group?

One thing to reference is synergies: https://www.redguides.com/community/threads/synergy.72117/. Synergies are AA lines that help the group.

For example my original group:

First was a BST. Then came a CLE so it could heal my ass during raids in POP. Then a DRU because I wanted travel. After this it was an SK because I wanted a better driver. Last came ROG and BRD. ROG so I could run around zones without bothering anyone picking up shinies (collectables). and BRD for the speed and aDPS.
