I have the BST and Necro MQ2 plugin. I was going to do a 2 box but I need 3 to 6 in order to do the HA. I can only buy one more plugin since I am on short term disability for the next 3 plus months so funding is limited. Out of the three plugins that I purchase will need to create a 6 box team. What would be the best 6 man box team using the 3 MQ2 plugin?

I am sure Sic will chime in as he is the master of this stuff, but my opinion would be:
Tank - whether Paladin, Shadowknight, or Warrior. You can use RGMercs or KA for the other classes in your 6 box, but having the ability to use Hunter/Pull modes, abilities automatically will make things a lot easier. CWTN plugins are unmatched in this area. Another option is Tank manual, and you automate heals like SHM/CLR.
Before plugin decision, choose your group makeup first. Holy Trinity is ideal. Tank, Heals, CC. Since you are running BST/NEC, a good pairing would be adding MAG for the DPS spot. Choose Tank and heals with ENC (IMHO) as the CC spot.
Then decide on the plugin.

LOL, was exactly where I was going next when I had a bit more info =) Not that mercs are really useful, but some choose them for their own reasons.
Tank/Heal/CC is focus and so far Kn7cker is all dps
Yah, if you combine other automation with cwtn as ones budget fits, 6 is always the way to go.
Yup, we figured that from the original post. Care to share your plan of your team make-up and chosen automation for each? Might make it easier for all to provide advice.
I have lvl 85 hero tokens that I purchased awhile ago that I can use to upgrade everyone
Unless I can trade in the bst and necro since I just purchased them this week or last week to make a better combo using 3 cwtn plugins
Assuming the other toons are the same level or close.
While 6 of almost (and I stress almost) anything can function, your nec and bst are a good start for dps. I would first choose a tank you like (war, pal, shd) and then cc (likely enc) or healer (cleric). Maybe play the tank manually and use cwtn for cc or add a healer with cwtn. Both are equally important.
If your plan is to 6 box, you definitely need a tank, a healer and cc. Depending on how you like to play and your knowledge of the classes, that will guide you on your next cwtn plugin and the others on some other form of automation.
You're not. Questions are always welcome here and everyone tries to share their knowledge. I know it's how I have learned and I still learn with every post I read.
Knowing your goals and current make up just aids in the ability to add advice. Paint a picture of how you play and have fun so others can see through your eyes and then offer advice.
You can definitely advance and have fun with some cwtn plug ins and other automation. l personally use 4 cwtn plug ins and 2 on KA.

nothing is stopping you from using multiple classes per plugin ... run a tank plugin with cc/heals on rgmercs than run multiples of beast or necro! with said plugins #winning
i have a fun gruop with pal/shm and 4 necros thats whats important make sure your having fun with the learning process !

Eskay or pal would be my pick, some benefits from either
You might consider playing on test server, where the cwtn plugins are included with your rg lvl 2.
If it is purely to request ha, you can always have another alt on same account, put in group, then log them out (without disbanding them) now you have 3 toons to request ha.
Nice thank you for the advice appreciate it.
test server also has included all access for your accounts - if you're on a limited budget, you can save a few $ so you can still enjoy the game --- test server has more downtime than live, but it is still a great option

I probably wouldn't of bought BST if you are only going with 3 plugins (love BST just cheaper to have a 3rd necro), but you want to stack classes to only have to play for the plugin once.
Paladin - cwtn
Necro - cwtn
Necro - cwtn
Bst/Necro - cwtn
Bard - KA
Shaman - cwtn
Having two rezzers is fantastic when chugging along.

A real Tank is of more use than a real priest, as for difficult content you may can pull out a healermerc or two, wheras a lackluster tankmerc cannot be supported with a second one as easy. If you choose a sk, you can almost complete avoid adds when needed, pulling manually, so cc is not a must have.
If you choose to add 2 classes to the team but one plugin, I would choose to play/drive with the sk and add the shaman with the plugin. I use a priest plus the plugin.
For my sk I don‘t have the plugin(yet), as boxing for my feeling works best, when „driven“ from the tank. For lazy times I have a kissasist set up for my sk, which does a good job.
If you add 3 classes, I would play the tank, priest plus plugin, cc plus Kissassist, i.e. Bard. My feeling is, my bard does a good job with kissassist.

KA works well for tanking and healing (use Sic's cleric ini as your base). CWTN plugins seem to work through its dps section faster than KA does, so I would vote for using it there. Maybe MAG in your case or ENC to ensure good CC rather than running a BRD since you pretty much have a caster group going.

I’d go enchanter or SK
With That Bestlorrd and Necro aadd a Mage also Add either an AK or aPally your preference Finally A Shaman the premier boxing healer
If the group feel too caster heavy for you then you can replace the Mage for a Rogue or Berzerker. There is your starter and CTWN box I use them all bro SO I can personally vouch doe them.

Last post on this thread was December of 22. I'm guessing the OP has already made a choice at this point.

bard or shammy , i would go bard for mez and added power to grp, can always use a merc for heals
First time poster here … I have been using very vanilla with generic appropriate level ini files for my team of Gold Paladin(93)/SK(86) FTP Beast(88),FTP Necro(101), FTP Mage(88), Silver Ranger(97), & Healer merc. All the toons are heroic other than the Ranger, which is my main account that I drive/pull with. I have been considering switching out the merc for a Silver cleric (82). My question is, if I can only choose one paid plug in, should I go with one for the Paladin/Sk or one for the cleric? As a side note, my leveling has been on the slow side because of wipes due to over pulling and mana regen issues.

This is a common question, and has various, subjective answers. My 2RC would be Pal or SK. Also, yes, 99.9% of a time even a f2p cleric will be better then a merc (mercs are just bad).
Merged into the existing thread about it.
Dromel is right about differing personal needs.
Mercs are pretty trash, but I would do tank first.
Your group doesn't have CC or Regen (outside of nec and bst).
Drop a tank for a bard or enchanter.
Mq2paladin or mq2eskay whichever you're tanking on, imo
But as always, test copy and try them all included with your level 2

Already have SK. So I need to decide between Shaman, Cleric, Wizard or Mage. Opinions or thoughts?

I would say choose the one you need the most help with and start there.
Having trouble with heals? Grab the shaman/cleric
Having trouble with the DPS get the mage, because wizard isn't a thing yet.
