Mischief Suggestion for new group on Mischief

[EQFoli]

So my current group is as follows:

SHD
BRD
SHM
MAG
WIZ
BER

I'm looking to add a second group, and when they're up to par, I want to consolidate and optimize both groups. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should level?
I want WAR and CLR, so looking for suggestions for the rest of the party.

We're going into Underfoot soon, and Im not sure which classes were good in this expansion and forward.

Appreciate any input!

 

[kaen01]

war, clr, enc, rog, bst, rng

since those are classes you dont have, so oyou will have the opportunity to mix and match to your lkings

 

[EQFoli]

Thanks! How would you set up both groups at 'endgame', given equal power level in gear?

Guessing something like this?
SHD, SHM, BRD, BER, ROG, RNG
WAR, CLR, ENC, MAG, BST, WIZ

Just tossing this out there. I would consider a spot for a pally since they get splash heals in UF.

I would put some casters in with the SK and more melee with a warrior.

SK, Chanter, Bard, Mage, Wiz, Druid
War, Sha, Clr, Bard, Zerker, Monk or Bst.

To optimize your current group into two, I'd go with
SHD, MAG, WIZ, ENC, NEC, SHM
BRD, BER, WAR, CLR, ROG, RNG/BST

Caveat that I personally don't like duplication, but the NEC could definitely be another MAG. Also, your SHM is almost certainly going to be a better fit in the melee group, but you said you wanted WAR/CLR combo. If you're willing to bend on that, I'd move the SHM to melee and CLR to caster (or turn CLR into a DRU). If you do go DRU though, keep in mind you won't have an in-combat rezzer, but that's fairly easily worked around with rez tokens.

Hey, thanks for the input!

Seems like two solid groups. With CLR/WAR I didnt necessarily think that they should be grouped; just that I want them in the total lineup!

Think I may try this one, but switch NEC for another MAG, as I recently switched away from NEC since they kind of suck in a group setting - at least for now.

I suggest if play a bard and have 2 DPS casters put one more casters buffs are diferent for melee and for casters or 3 DPS casters or 3 DPS melee my choice IS sk,shm,bard,Ranger,zerker,monk

 

[Grpsmashin]

my 2 red cents:

WAR, ENC, CLR, NEC, BST, DRU.

This will max your mana regen, safe, and has decent DPS. Plus you get ports

 

[Hipchecktwostep]

I just started back on mischief and went with

War, Clr, Shm, Enc, WIz, Rog/Nec. Not sure on the last spot, they are both currently at 80, nec with 2.0, working on the rogue 2.0.

It sorta depends on how much healing you require.

The standard "raid" melee group is:
Tank/ber/bst/brd/shm/clr

If you are part of a low man raid, you probably want shm + clr to ensure you yourself are receiving heals.

If you are only interesting in grinding / group content, or for some reason not concerned with healing, you can drop clr for a monk.

For a caster group (your wiz/mag) you definitely want a bard (strongest class in the game) and an enchanter for spire/twincast/mana reit and soon IoG. You also want a druid for spire and great wolf. That makes your decision pretty locked in. You optimally want wiz/mag/enc/brd/dru then choose a 6th. Personally, I prefer my caster group to have a tank class in order for them to be able to xp on their own, so I would recommend SK or paladin.

SK is ofc the strongest tank in group content and the easiest for automation. I personally use a paladin, since I also raid and use the paladin as the healer for that group so the druid can also dps.

group 1 sk shm bst mnk brd ber group 2 pld dru enc wiz mag mag. my reasoning is you cant beat the melee meta group and the 2nd group is imo really strong. yeah pld dont beat sks or wars in dmg but they heal so much your druid doesnt have to heal often so your dru can do alot of dps. plus enc and dru buff nuking classess really strongly in rof which is coming out in 1.5months. you can also travel really well. bind the wiz and dru secondary bind in different spots. then port the caster group to secondary bind and then drop a fire and all 12 are there.

with that said i would just make one group small man stuff kinda dies after voa. you arent 12-18 manning raids in rof theres like 1 in cotf that might do able with sub 24. and progression becomes harder to do with more then 6 as you go farther in the game. i play on both riz and mischief with 2 groups. i go with the melee meta group x2 personally.
