noticing a lot people suggesting rogue over zerker for monk replacement. Does zerker start to fall or rogue takes off on live? i'm currently at CoV right now and zerker still seems much better

I assume most people just care about group content, or mostly about group content. In which case its very hard to beat a rogue in afk grinding if they can assassinate. For raids, rogue is unfortunately entirely replaceable. The 1 thing ill reiterate is that Everquest is not hard enough that rog vs mnk will make a difference on live.

Not sure about this, monks are the kings parse atm on live. Zerkers have burst but hurt over the duration of a fight compared to monks or rogues, but especially monks these days

I think a Mage, Beastlord and Rogue would be nice to work in for some versatility. Not on the same account because you might want to pair up the Beastlord and Mage.

Thanks for all the replies.. I have right now SK, SHM, Bard, Rogue, Ber, Bst .. wondering if dropping BST for a Monk or Ranger would be better.. so far the setup is great.

"Better" without any context on how you measure that is weird.

Best take a while before they shine, but their added stuff to the group is pretty substantial all the time. Mnk or rng would also be fine

I love my BST, and my Ranger is always a struggle to choose persona?

That is correct. Sorry for the ambiguity.

Im looking for overall synergy with maximum dps for melee. The Beastlord seems to do the least atm. But they boost other classes. Definitely unsure how they will do at level 100 or beyond. Right now on TLP server max level 70.

So want to nail down the concrete 6box team before I get too invested in them =)

I have many many personas.. love leveling just to level >< also nice lil exp perk for having max levels on account.

Only downside with the Sk,shm,brd,bst,ber,rog. Is traveling. The bard makes running easy and hardly more than a 3 zone run at most that I have encountered. So that isn't much of an issue for me

Bst isnt negotiable in a max dps melee group. It provides almost as much damage as the brd.
The only question is rog vs mnk is if you are doing raid content or group content. If a rog can assassinate, they win. If they cant, monk is the #1 strongest dps class in the game right now (SK is comparable).

Thank you.. excellent response.

I think I will level the Monks AA's as I will be raiding current content with guild.. and have the Rogue for funsies.

I have nothing to offer you at your level but at current end game group content Sk, Shaman, Bard, Rogue, Monk, Zerk is the premium group I have found from a lot of testing. I have 25 lvl 125 toons and have rotated in and out many combinations and this is by far the best group I can make. I strive for sustained dps over 10 to 12 hours btw, I am not talking about a 30 second Zarek parse or something else trivial. I have tried beasts, mage, necro, ranger, war, paladin etc but this combination works the best that I can find. Also for the record rogue beats monk every time if all else is equal at raid dps for sustained 20 minute raids. I have not seen a single monk beat rogue if they are similar in gear and achievements. The only time I see monk win is if you show a parse for just one raid boss and not the entire combined raid parse.

I got a comment deleted for trolling? I dont remember what exactly I said, but monks and knights (mostly SK) are far and away the strongest melee atm. Rogues have not benefited from the recent buffs as much and they also have very little adps.
