Good class for 6man comp on destro

[arnagob]

Indeed shaman dps is over the top, sadly not for the heal spec anymore :<

Yes, BG is harder to play than Mara, and double Mara is still the strongest 6man for destro, as far as I know.

Anything you disagree with?

ohhhhh I thought the original guy was trolling and saying just two mara's and that's it. You mean 2 maras as the dps in a 6man though I mean if that's the case, it sounds like itd be missing out on real raw dmg.

WE can work very well in 6man, but it needs a solid group.. kinda like Choppa.. and probably decent RR. 2h BG and Mara both work well in 6s too; Mara has a lower skill floor/barrier to "being good" -- BG is kind of a piano with a very high skill ceiling.

When you say skill ceiling like that it makes me think of rogues in wow.
They are one of those classes that almost anybody can do ok with but somebody who pushes it can become quite formidable, and the term I heard used was high "skillcap" which is what your terminology made me think of.
Is my interpretation of your wording correct?
I'm also gonna guess that poor squishy sorcs don't fare so well in 6 mans.

Yeah when I say a high skill ceiling I mean that the class is very intricate and if you spend a lot of time on the class you can be very good.

That's the same as the rogue, except the rogue is very beginner friendly too, very forgiving of mistakes.
Yet it has a lot of intricacies that, when mastered, make the class and the player shine.

What are the main points of emphasis for a 2H BG?
Like if I picked up my 20-something BG and started playing it after forever.
What would be the minimum skill set to make a good start and be effective while keeping the beginning learning curve manageable?

Hey all! As the title suggests, i'm looking for a good class to play in 6man groups and other small group content.

My favorite group comp I see on Order's side, and the one i get crushed by the most is WL, Slayer, Kotbs, IB, RP and some other class. Would the mirror of this work well? If so, i'd be most interested in playing a mara or bg. I currently have a 47 we and 48 sorc.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

If you want to be on the safe side I would suggest a DoK. Deftard + max morale for M2 full group cleanse. In a "6man (a)" setup you only care about your group and nothing else so this makes a DoK mandatory as primary healer.

I don't know the tank sitation on our side but I wouldn't be surprised Chosen is still primary tank in a 6-peeps.

You won't beat an order 6 peeps premade based on WL by trying to copycat it on destro side. The only way destro had a shot to beat Lednail/Liandel full 6-peeps was if the other 6 order in a scenario weren't good enough, and you actually should read terrible or bad for the other 6 orders. The WL is, and by far, the best dps for a 6man and the number two isn't even close. WL is a game changer in this aspect.

I'm wondering how an order premade with WL + SW + SM would fare with their triple pounce now.

It's actually very simple from your "request" for the analyse
Order--------------Destro
WL-----------------*nothing"
Slayer-------------Choppa
KoTBS-------------Chosen
IB------------------BO/BG
RP-----------------The overrated (order deslusion in my opinion) Zealot
"WP"--------------DoK
Good luck and have fun

It's very simple. The day, will never happen, we get finaly Beastmistress is the day that I shelve my WE's and Magus and won't look back, ever.

(a) Is this "6man" correct grammar/spelling/English/mmo/whaterver wise ?

Oh really?
Then less people would complain about them on destro.
Their dmg wasn't changed, just their healing reduced big time, which gives destro even more reasons to rage in chat.

WE and Sorc are good in 6man
rr47 on WE is a bit low, you miss important tools like elixir, once rr60(rr50 with 4p anni) you will become a killing machine in 6man

Appreciate the indepth response! I have a dok, and do find it fun to play. However, it's not really the role i'm looking for right now. I'm most interested in a bg or mara at the moment.
Is a WL THAT much better than a mara in this situation? WL's definitely do far more dmg, but mara's from the looks of it are more debuff heavy. Does that not make up for the lack of damage at all?
