I play two groups, depending on how I feel.
1st group; SK, Chanter, Cleric, Shammy, Mage, Zerker. (Drive with SK).
2nd group; Chanter, Mage, Mage, Mage, Cleric, Shammy. (Drive with Chanter).
Back when I started playing in 2000, my chanter could get one rounded in N. Ro by Derv's. Now, it is a different story (Same Chanter). With Runes and Mind over Matter, she can take hits from almost anything, at least until the pets jump in and start fighting over aggro.
In both groups, we almost never fight more than one mob regardless how many get pulled. Chanter parks them till we can sort them out.
I am starting a new group to try out my old Warrior. War, Shammy, Mage, Zerker, Zerker, Chanter. Soon as they get a few levels, (and some AA's) gonna swap out the Mage for my big Zerker. (Probably drive with War)
By the way, I think I am in love with CWTN :-) Made EQ fun again!
