[Tyr]

In your opinion, what's the best raid group makup you've been in?I've had kickin results with: inquisitor, coercer/illusionist, berzerker, monk, dirgeAlso which would be your ideal group makeup?<div></div>

[Drevva]

I'm always in the MT group for raids but I am perversely happy when our templar isn't around and we get an inquisitor in the MT group. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />The makeup you mentioned would be pretty nice though <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />.Drevva

MMM i would have to say dirge/bruiser/fury/wizzy/warlock =) i love procs =)<div></div>

[Iakhovas]

<P>dirge, coercer, bruiser, monk, some healer</P> <P>dirge COB plus all the dps and haste buffs from the coercer bruiser and monks would be ridiculous.</P>

[MrDiz]

Id replace your monk with a zerker.

Me, an inquisitor, a coercer and 3 dirges <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Hit autoattack, switch to rhotp, let the dirges take turns with CoB keping it up 100%, and every few mins hit inspiration......luxury!

[adamflanagan]

<P>i think i'd have to go for: me, dirge, inquisitor, beserker, wizard and coercer</P>

[Voldem]

<P>Personally, I like having a Bezerker, Inquistor, Mystic, Dirge, Conjouror, and me (swash, duh)</P> <P>Bezerker gives the awesome str buff, same with inquis. Dirge just good overall buffs and [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn], conj with shards and dps, and mystic with nice wards and some nice hp and str buffs</P>

[Luk]

Just give me a dirge and I'm happy<div></div>

[Cocytus]

Dirge is the only definate...illusionists are great too if they have illusory arm. The rest....too many interchangable things to go into for me. I'm too lazy.

[Snarks]

dirge templar paladin fury illusionist                  (ruling out x2 dirges)<div></div>

[bloodrage42]

OMG you guys gotta give shammys some love: DIRGE, Zerker, Mystic(avatar is alll mine) Illusionist, coercer and Assassin! MY buddy has to share super grp with me <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

The best group-RAID lineup is Guardian (MT), Swash (me),  Inq,  Fury,  Defiler, coercer.  For named encounters you might trade out the coercer for a conjuror, or (heaven forbid) the swash for an assassin (ranged or single target encounters).But for grouping (and I know it wasn't asked)  that is another story.Personally I would drop the coercer/illusionist for a paladin.  Grouping, Mezzers and Swashes go together like oil and water; ussually they want to mez to much for my taste and it forces me  to drop Hurricane.  I also enjoy the chaos of having to take on multiple mobs at once.  Besides, with a Zerker you don't need the coercers hate transfer (after all you have your own).  Paladins have an excellent mit buff, can heal very well in a pinch, can tank when the MT goes down, and if they are spec'd strength haste/aggro (surprisingly most pals in my guild are not) can generate alot of aggro.  The chief downside to a paladin grouped with a swash is that they cannot use their group aggro transfer spell (it is atm buggy and messes up swarthy distraction).  Alternatively, I would want a brigand in the group for their debuffs. It actually depends on where you are fighting.  In CMM, I would prefer a guardian to a zerker; with a smart guardian and competant healer(s) you do not need mez.  Anywhere that I am fighting where alll the mobs are blue or white, I would prefer a Zerker.  If they are all green/blue, forget the tank, you can tank! If it is an encounter where mobs must be mezed, I would suck it up and like a chanter. With all that said, there really is not a best group raid line up.  Different encounters call for different tactics.<div></div>

<DIV>If I had my way, I would choose the MT group every single raid: Guardian, Warden, Templar, Defiler, Coercer and me. In this group I have parsed upwards of 2900, and my average is around 2k. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Since my guild prefers a dirge in the 6th slot over me, my next best group makeup would be: Fury, Zerker, Coercer/Illusionist, Conjuror, Wizard, and me. This is all assuming another dirge is not available, if one is, I would replace the Conjuror with them.</DIV><p>Message Edited by Orienne on <span class=date_text>01-17-2007</span> <span class=time_text>01:35 PM</span>

[simpwrx02]

I would like the wiz instead of a conj wiz str/int buff, only mage with str buff and also pheonix blade rocks, other than that ill, bruiser, inq, and zerker.

[SmCaudata]

Fury:  Agitate and Vim are awesome.Dirge: DKTM, CoB and awesome buffs.Zerker:  STR, and haste/dps proc.Wizard: INT, STR, and a great procFor the final spot anything that improves casting time.  Inquisitor, Bard for Jester's, Illusionist, etc.  That would be a perfect raid group for me.Our assasin runs with:AssassinIllusionistTroubyFuryWizard(this spot varies)It doesnt' get much better for her and her parses show it.<div></div>
