Question - setting up new crew with classes I've not played before

[InvisigothMT]

I'm currently starting 6 new f2p accounts to work up classes I'm not familiar with. I will say that I'm keeping bard since that's sort of a lynchpin boxing class anyway and I like bards. I'm going with bst/rog/monk but I'd like some input on healer/tank since I've played cleric/warrior pretty frequently in the past.

shuffling around shaman v druid and SK v paladin are there any pros and cons to any different combo? I have to admit I really loved having a porting class in my groups and bst overlaps with shaman which I have played to some degree I'm leaning toward druid. If I do that which of the two tank classes would you recommend?

Any other input is welcome, I'm not married to anything at this time

SK and cleric. Druids are fair to middling healers compared to clerics but nice utility. Yes, the ports are amazing but depending on what you want to do with the group I would be hard pressed to recommend a Druid as the main healer and as you point out you are doing a bst so no need for a shaman.

No real reason for the sk tank other than as a cleric I find them the easiest to heal. I may play with some seriously amazing SK's though....

Personally I'd still go Shaman as a main healer, even with a beast.

Epic and Dissident Roar are still sizable gains

I do run a cleric occasionally, but to be honest it's massive overkill but with zero adps benefit.

I have some nice combos.

Fo4 current and current future content i woud say

Paly/shm/bst/bard/rogue/rogue. Alliance is a massive add to dps, so running double atleast 1 dps class is super nice.

Might swap bard out for chanter. With cwtn new chanter plugin omg, i main a bard and ive been setting it 8n favore of the enchanter.

Paly gets self heals group heal massive dmg vs undead(tons of undead eok,ros,tov,cov), shm has slows, debuff, buffs procs., bst has mana regen, nice dps, good dps with pet. 2x rog would alliance and tons of dps

I'd not thought about running an enchanter, that's another class I'd ever messed around with. Now I have more to think about!

How would 2x BST, 2x mage, Sk, cleric work for team?

I started a new Crew, I kept 4 of my main crew and added two All using CWTN except Bard he is using KA. My new crew is SK(115)/SHM(115)/ZERK(115)/ZERK(107)/BRD(110)/BST(105) Th two I added were the Zerk and the Bst and Switched from Enc to Bard. The bard makes my DPS way higher and Zerks are a crazy amount of DPS.

I’d drop a beast for a bard, and it could be decent imo

Yeah, beast + bard is a better choice that double beasts
