YAGCT = Yet Another Group Composition Thread !

Thinking to roll on an 'empty server' for minimal harassment, ban risk, and maximum camp options
Specifically Brekt because Free-Trade so if anyone plays there msg me! Would love to join a guild

Empty servers like Brekt have no economy, there is 0-2 sellers in bazaar when I have checked.
So 99% of gear will be dependent on what you farm

Will probably use KISS but want to checkout IHC (but no mage, pet tank? in IHC)

Main questions:

1. What is the least gear dependent DPS? Mage > Wiz > ? > ?
2. How hard is it to gear a Tank to do EoK without bazaar help?
3. How to break mez without melee?
4. Am I over thinking this and should just go with the generic 6 toon?

Easy life is #1 priority so I do like BRD+MAG+WIZ for moving around and usually just double ENC because im lazy and do like the easy life

Plan 1 - my generic goto, these are the only classes I know how to play past PoP
  1. BRD = pulls
  2. ENC = CC
  3. SHD = aggro
  4. CLR = heals
  5. MAG = coh, dps
  6. WIZ = ports, dps

Plan 2 - no tank, double mag
So many ways to go.....

Is DRU higher DPS then SHM to EoK?
BST or MAG better pet tank with shitty gear/aa?

Plan 2a - 2x mag, 2x cc
  1. BRD = pulls, MA to break Mez
  2. ENC = CC
  3. MAG = Tank, coh, dps
  4. MAG = Tank, coh, dps
  5. DRU = DPS, heals, ports
  6. SHM = DPS, slow
Plan 2b - 2x mag, enc puller
  1. ENC = pulls, cc
  2. MAG = Tank, coh, dps
  3. MAG = Tank, coh, dps
  4. SHM = heals, slow
  5. WIZ = DPS, ports
  6. WIZ = DPS, ports

How are Necros, Druids, Shamans for DPS over 85?
MNK, ROG, BST, BER, RNG with no gear DPS?

as with all other threads asking this I always say

#1 is have a crew you enjoy --- enjoy > min max until min maxing is more important than having favorites
#2 holy trinity is alive and well - Real Tank (pref sk or war), Real healer (pref cleric, but a shammy can do), real CC (Ench for casters, bard for melee)
#3 if you haven't done TBL but you are planning to do it - TBL hurts real bad, the damage taken curve is significantly higher than other expansions and it can be very challenging without a solid trinity --- many people struggle without a cleric (tho it *is* doable with a shammy)

If you're just doing free content 105/EoK there are lots of good choices, but I still insist on doing the trinity to build your group as you can expand and grow as your needs change much more easily imo
 
my personal GTG! (For Live)

1.) SK - OP tanks
2.) Dru - Ports / Heals / DPS
3.)Bard - Zoom, DPS, DPS modifiers
4.) Shaman / Beastlord - Toss up here on your preference.
5.) Ranger - Easy AFKDPS
6.) Cleric if you chose Beastlord at step 4, Berserker if you chose Shaman.

It's a weird comp, but it works.

I like your #1 comp for Live, TLP's nahh (I play mostly TLPS)
 
want a power team that will kill anything it runs into
Warrior, Shaman, bard, Rogue, Zerk, now you can decide if you want another rogue, cleric or zerk, shaman can heal tbl, no matter what people say but it can get very hairy and tight, and you need a solid ini, where the cleric would be more forgiving.
 
BRD+ENC is a waste of time. No need to have complex pulling with a macro'd ENC that can lock down so well. I ran that when I first started, and really my BRD was just a waste of space. Replaced it out for DPS.

SHD/CLR/ENC/MAG/WIZ,WIZ

In the above set up you basically only need to gear up the SHD. The others can be basically neglected, and you can just buy the spells you want to use rather than "all". My ENC still has some SoD gear in EOK and basically only dies if the group wipes (which is usually tank dying due to nasty DD).

Would a beastlord be an acceptable 6th?
