[Guide] Dream-team or Perfect group setup

[SilverWF]

A really short guide for someone, who wondered how to setup a really good and strong party.

What is most viable group setup?
2 tanks / 2 DPSers / 2 healers

TANKS
1st must be defensive, 2nd - on his choice, but he must not die before his guarded ally!

Spoiler:

Destro
1. Chosen - auras, stagger and aoe debbuffs
2. BO - stat stealing

Order
1. KOTBS - auras, stagger and group utility
2. SM - stat stealing
another KOTBS - with different auras, sure

BG and IB are less needed tanks for party setup. But they are great in small-scale roaming, no doubt.

DPSers
1st DPSer is main DPS, his spec must be for high spike damage (aka Burst). it can be against solo-target (aka Glass-cannon) or AOE (aka Bomber)
2nd will be support DPS, who will provide damge for sure, but also some utility for main DPS or his group.

Spoiler:

Destro
1. Sorc - solo or AOE. Incredible damage and group utility
Choppa - solo. Incredible damage
WE - solo. Incredible damage and group utility. But in most cases WE is a 2nd DPS

2. Magus - rifter. Resists debuff for Sorc
SH - solo. Heal debuff with no CD and pretty high damage.
Mara - pull, great debuffs, aoe KD, very high damage

Order
1. BW - solo or AOE (in most cases). Incredible damage and group utility. Perfect bomber
Slayer - solo or AOE (in most cases). Incredible damage. Very good bomber. Works perfectly in pair with another Slayer
WH - solo. Incredible damage. But in most cases WH is a 2nd DPS

2. Engineer - magnet. Resits debuff for BW.
SW - solo. Heal debuff with no CD and very high damage. Possibility to gaurantee kill target in fester arrow spec
WL - solo. Very high burst damage, asspain for healers and kiters. Show himself pretty good in pair with WH, but useless in bomb-squads

This doesn't mean, that we can take any #1, pair it with any #2 and it will be OK. All will depends on specs and goals and I have no plans of describing all possible variants here.

HEALERS
1st healer for strong group healing
2nd - for strong single healing
NO ANY DPS-healers!

Spoiler:

Destro
1. DoK - incredible group healing and utility
2. Zealot - incredible single-target healing and buffs for party

Order
1. WP - incredible group healing and utility
2. RP - incredible single-target healing and buffs for party

Shaman is a bit better healer than AM, because of 1 extra HOT with TOU buff, but both of them are less needed healers in groups.

All of this are based on long playtime at live-servers of the original "Warhammer Online: Age of reckoning."

ok sir outb4flamewar

I don't really know what to make of this I agree with some points but my personal oppinion is that some of the dps mentioned aren't great in group in t4 engie and wh for instance are to static/squishy to excel past the other options.

Swap SM to IB and it makes more sense. Also I would pair Rift with AoE Choppa/Slayer at least in T3 environment.

realy BO better then BG? SM better then IB?

[SilverWF]

Please, read 1st string of 1st post.
I have no plans on starting holy-wars "classname is better than classname"!

Topic is about SIX-men party only and only if we can choose it's setup!

realy BO better then BG? SM better then IB?

I'm really didn't see where are BG or IB better for party than BO or Sm

[Foltestik]

BG = longest KD in game, super punt (outside guard range) spamable outgoing heal debuff...
BO = ehm ehm aoe punt?
