My first party was with two guys (warriors) and one girl(cleric?), Lasts about an hour, enjoying it and a lot of money & drops. I was lvl 9, mob up to lvl10 (Barpolle). I was killed 3 times.
The second was at lvl 11, mob up to lvl 12 (Dow Genema), with one other girl (Bard), lasts 15 min. I was killed lots of times!

[ Goldwynn at her 9th ]

Why?
My own conclusions:
A Bard isn't a good companion.
More players in a party, better result.
First time I stood at the back (bit cowardly, yeah, I know), however this seems to give best results.
First time I wasn't attacked from behind, second time those Dow's came from every side (Yek )
Hard to finish off an Champion with a 2 party, in a 4 party almost easy.
O.K., senior players, your tips please.

plz exuse my post count, but nonetheless, heres some advice:
1 as an int in party never attack mobs without a tank(warrior) on it.
2 dont use aoe skills unless tanks have suffcient aggron on mobs.
3 bards are good for their tambours/speed/dance
4 as bard you should also heal pt members mp

PS i see in your sig your also a wiz, that should be you main role in party, dealing dmg to mobs. If there is enough wizards then switch to bard, otherwise stay wizard.

This

as a wiz you will do the most damage to any mob and without a warrior or at least a rouge the mobs will always attack you first. in a small party like the one you were in you need to be very aware of the enemy's around you. one thing you should try to get used to is swinging the camera around your char whenever you have a chance. it prevents mobs from sneaking up on you.

@Sir Edward,

Didn't know the mobs liked me that much (gna gna gna).

Yea, some mobs are aggressive and will attack you even without you attacking them so be wary of those types.

euros are based on aggro...

basically, if a wizard stands next to any other char, the mob will walk past them and hit the wizard. You can avoid this by having warrior increase his aggro and lowering yours, or having a cleric spam heals next to you, in which case you'll both die and have no one to ress you lol.
