I found this somewhat odd. If you prefer AE to mob control why not just use mages and get the job done right? A properly dressed mage can pump out solid DPS on single targets and give you the best DPS in the game against multiples.
It's probably becuase i've only run into horrible mages to date I see a lot of power in the class, but most of the ones i've seen are retards that can only play 1 way
they can only AE or they can only nuke or they can only poly
the more I think about it, I tend to just prefer people who play well, regardless of class, as opposed to perfect group makeup with poor players
unlike EQ (to a certain extent) you can get by with almost any 5 classes in a group and be successful if you play to your strengths
You need to fire whoever your mage is, then. (Pun intended~)
I have absolutely no problem keeping something sheeped while nuking. Blizzard and flamestrike are a different story... but I can easily cast arcane explosion, frost nova, and cone of cold around my sheep with little to no worry.
actually we use 2 warriors because simply... both are friends :P
plus when 2 lower level healers are doing bd, you need one to be able to pull aggro off healers while other is tanking general etc.
ie. we did general in blackrock Depths with 46 druid, 49 priest, 53, 54 warrior and 59 hunter. In that case a druid cant really get away without healing. esp when fighting the elementals. at that level you die fast meleeing.
Like i said, that is our usual group, because thats when 3 friends and my brother and I get togeather for instances.
my main circle i like to use to conquer anything is warrior, druid, priest and add anything else. And I hate dire bear so i never use it, cat form dps is much more satisfying. Tho over 5k ac at 47 in caster gear is nice in bear.
its a lower level group/single group, if you knew anything you would realize doing General Drakk is not possible with those levels... but then again, i'm not surprised you dont
