[Guide] Dream-team or Perfect group setup

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."

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.

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