Question - Random TLP Thoughts (3 Viewers)

[Birdman]

Kind of going on a wild hair here to figure out some TLP life. What's everyone's go to set up? Max 3 toons.

What is your favorite solo class (and expansion used)
What is your favorite duo classes (and expansion used)
What is your favorite trio classes (and expansions used)

I feel like personally my solo class for early on EQ is Mage or Monk (classic - planes)
The harder expansions get but still non end game I would do War / Shm (planes - buried sea, since i only have 2 PCs)
Soon as they unlock boxing my Trio seems to be sk bard shm, for buried sea to current.

Looking to mix it up. what's some other fun solutions?!

SHD is the solo class. Duo you can't go wrong with SHM/SHD, but for laziness, SHD/BRD or SHD/CLR is better. Trio SHD/BRD/SHM is the goated team.
Can replace SHD with PAL and have just as much fun though. Early on paladins get more ae aggro because they can heal the group.
I did a TLP warrior to 40 and got bored.

If you want some meme combos, WAR/PAL/SHD is unstoppable, but slow... But you have 3 tanks in tlp, so you can just throw all 3 into different grind groups and meme away.

MAG/ENC/DRU also decent

SK / SHM / NEC is my go to base. Load up on dots and just keep alive. If solo Nec- duo SK / SHM - trio sk/shm/nec. Run this all the way thru all expacs.

I like the SK/SHM/ROG, but if you are not at the point on TLP that you get Mercs, then I would swap the SHM for a CLR.

 

[argee37]

SHD, CLR, and BST

 

[RobRenfro]

Iksar Necro and Troll Shaman.

 

[Kakgumu]

SHD, SHM, and MNK is my goto.

given the amount of policing done on TLPs i never box and will always play necros ... they're hands down the most efficient and well rounded class in the game. no need to box if you know how to play one. especially early on.

but if you wanna box you can always play two necros! or three!

Solo - Necro
Duo - Monk / Cleric
Trio - War/Shm/Brd

Does this work from classic to live ? Better then a monk shaman bard combo?

Iksar Monk and Troll Shaman

Solo it's hard to beat a Mage. My mage preference is Gnome because you don't have to shrink them.

 

[Scharnhorst]

Solo: SHM
Duo: CLE+ ENC
Trio: SK + SHM + BRD


Last time I played on a TLP, the ENC + CLE duo was really fun, charmed pets are strong.

Yeah but there doesn’t seem dps in this combo it kinda slow other then shaman

The BRD can also charm and adds DPS - but my first choice would be the duo to start with (not sure how well it holds up later on, but its strong still in PoP).

I ran it from classic to live, yes, but it is personal preference. I have not ran a Monk Shm Brd combo. I have ran a SK SHM BRD NEC MAG combo with really good success, but the user was asking for 3box options. I have ran a SK BRD duo and a War BRD duo, but those were with mercs and only on recent expacs. I prefer to have a tank class or pet class (Nec/Mag) as my main assist. Monk is a powerhouse and with sham slow and bard songs I can imagine that they would be able to tackle most content. Some content that requires more survivability would be a stretch especially when the slows start getting mitigated. But for group content it would probably be fine.

Did you have problems with that combo for 3 box and was there any content you could not do ?

 

[hackzimus]

Necro or Enchanter for solo early on in TLP.

Duo, Cleric/enchanter I've duo'd almost every zone up through GoD.

Trio, things are pretty open here. Ive done dru/wiz/enc, sk/sham/bard, war/clr/mag, pal/dru/enc, mag/mag/mag, nec/nec/nec, bst/bard/sham

Its going to depend on personal preference.

There were times where an event would spit out more than I could handle as my only CC was root/snare. So I would avoid in-era missions and complete them after my toons were over-leveled. As long as my SK can stay alive my necro can pretty much DoT them down. If it is a ranged type fight all three classes can drop DoTs on the mob. Once you get SK/Shm figured out you can literally survive anything that doesn't outright kill you. You get the hang of it as far as what you can and can't do at specific levels and expansions. I like the trio because of it's survivability. If I am getting wrecked I just FD on Nec and rez SHM back up and either try again or move along. Once you get mercs the trio is unstoppable in most instances.

Bear in mind I never did raid content. This is all just group content.
