Question - team set up (1 Viewer)

[Warlock88]

Currently I run a raid gear sk, necro and bard with 2 wizzy mercs and 1 cleric merc.. I find that my necro does not do very well for group dps since the mobs die so fast. What would be a good switch out for the necro to up the teams dps.

Thanks

The necro swarm pets are pretty good dps in my opinion, but I hear zerkers are good burst but lousy sustained dps.

hmm maybe I do not have my necro set up properly. He is my first char when I started in 1999, do not really want to put him away lol.. I should re look at the KA I have set for him maybe that is my problem.

you may think about swapping out the necro and the bard for 2 more wizzies, then you could kill anything, sk, wiz, wiz, wiz with wiz, wiz, cleric merc...

I have a 100 zerk and mage you can try if you want, I never had much luck with either of them and they are silver accounts so no decent augs but I think I have them both in T1 group gear and the zerk has an older raid weapon. I'm thinking of leveling up a monk, they seem to do well DPS wise and it's easy enough to pick up a T1 raid weapon since all that stuff rots.

I'd think a mage with your bard would be a nice addition. You could consider a ranger. Mine out DPS's most everyone with my current set up. They are good for buffs and pulling too. A zerker or monk would be similar, but no buffs or holy$hit heals. A druid could also be good with nuke healing, buffs, and their debuffs... Not to mention porting your while team to their favorite spot!

zerker should be awesome burst DPS and decent sustained espec with a bard in group.

My 5 cents is: In case you want to try to switch out necro, do so in exchange for a real wiz or mage. This way your bard can unlock their full potential on nukes.
The real wiz can port ya, the mage has a tanky pet so depends on your preferences what ya like/need more. I know my team, tank on aggro only and 3 wiz on burn
with bard focus rip mobs to pieces within seconds. e.g. in grounds pulling usually up to 8 mobs at once and then it goes like bam, bam, one dead, next.... and within 30 seconds
I go out pulling again.

My group is more of a balanced group than a high DPS group. I use SK, Cleric, Shaman, Bard, Rogue, Ranger. I can substitute a mage for the Ranger, but the Ranger has more AA, levels, better gear.

I think I might level up a mage .. Thank you all for your feed back Maybe ill keep the necro and just add the mage to my team

One thing to keep in mind for both a necro and mage is the level of EM (enhanced Minion) you are able to attain. I think heroics come with EM V. The best group earring available for level 100 is EM XV. EM also helps the swarm pet for both classes.
