Well after witnessing the long lines for tankers at chaser partys an idea came to me. A strength party consisting of 1 cleric, 1warlock, 2 bards, and 4 2hand tankers. I know it sounds crazy but I think it should be tested personally. The bard dances would be alittle different meaning instead of mag dance and guard tam you would use the dance of fight 30% and hitmarch. Not the best but I think it would be better then soloing or waiting for a party for 6 hours. I think this would also give xbowers chance to shine in partys as well instead of makeing them the bards all the time.

(The Break Down)

3 2h warriors (Damage Dealers)
1 2h/1h warrior (Damage/Lure)
*possibly replaced with Xbow (Damage/lure/poison circle)

1 cleric (Healing)
1 warlock (Debuffer)
2 bards (Mana healing)

Again this is an experimental idea but a viable solution to intel shortage. Other ideas are also welcomed.

If you want an ultimate party, go for a full int party. Two full int clerics, one warlock, 1 xbow and 4 wizzies. xbow to lure tons of mobs. 2 wizzies with cleric sub to keep bless going.

sounds ok. we did that once at generals when we were bored. we had: 6 tanks of all kinds. 1 bard, 1 cleric.

overall the exp was alot better then no exp. compared to a real pt it was around half the exp we would get.

getting a 2nd bard and a dance up would increase the exp by 30%ish. so if a real pt is 100%, full tank is 50%, add the dance and u get 80%. a 20% loss is not that bad.

xbow has no aoe skills. a tank in its place can lure AND do more damage then a xbow.

1 cleric, 2 bards, 5 tanks / 4 tanks 1 warlock. sounds pretty good. much better then nothing.

also, 1h had shield bash which is aoe. all axe skills are aoe. 2h has 1 or 2 aoe skills. if everyone focused on those skills, even if it means weapon switching, u would get the most exp possible out of that pt.

and it wont ever die =p

You did full strength, this is a full int....
Xbow luring, using poison circle to catch a couple of mobs and the rest of the wizzies staying alive with two clerics.
Lock acting as tanker.
Xbow calls in mobs, don't taunt, but much faster than a warrior running around for 60 secs to lure 10 mobs.

Anyway party is better than no xp. Party is always better than waiting
