Party Setup

so i am a bit confused ... i get that its nice to get archer and tank with the mages but i watched a movie from ru offi and 1 top party was dager, mage, archer, tank. so i wonder what does this dagger do ?

 

stun dem all?:d

 

fast dps?

 

telling jokes to the others, so they wont get sleepy and can farm more.

ofc. it's a dd and can lure mobs (fast speed for running back to hes pt members).

 

end-game (lvl 85 and above groups)

melee grp:
healer
healer
enchanter
dagger
tank
rogue/summoner
tyr warrior

mage group:

healer
healer
enchanter
mage
mage
mage/summoner
tank

 

interesting setups

 

hmmm why not archer in the mage group - gives -25% m def real target and toggle for cast speed, and also has mass real target

 

agree. another great setup for a mage endgame party would be
healer
healer
enchanter
mage
mage
archer
tank

rune buffs ftw!

 

well, the core of any party must consist of healer, healer, tank, enchanter - that leaves 3 spots for dd.

earlier chronicles favored one type of dd setups, that is mages and archers; from time to time someone made a melee dd party, but is was inferior (in most cases) to those two mentioned before.

but now in god the best partys are the mixed ones, because of the toggles (runes) that gives boost to other classes and the buffs (you need to focus on pdef or mdef, can't have both) so when you see an incoming party that has 3 mages, you just pop up mdef buff and deal with them. but if they got 2 mages and 1 archer in the party, things become a lot tricky and after buffing yours party mdef the archer will **** you.

so, in russian servers the most popular setups are:

- 2 mages + 1 archer
- 1 mage + 2 archers

but i guess any party that has both physical and magical dds should do fine in pvp.

 

2 healers are not too much ? i see in vids of goddess mass hp/mp/cp and not too big dmg compare to hp

 

without two healers you can't even farm on some spots.
and i can't imagine going to pvp with just one healer.

 

and there is going to have a problem : to farm lvl untill 85 party are going to need 2 enchanter ( bd/sws + buff ) and after 85 only one. so what about the other enchanter ?

 

what about a setup of 7 from lvl 76 to 85 w/o leaving anyone out from party after awakening ?

 

this could work with mage party.

ol -> enchanter
ee -> healer
bish -> healer (to keep mass ress after awakening, reuse 2 minutes while the new version's reuse is 10 min)
tank -> tank
mage
mage
mage

and you're ready to go.

 

this. legit suggestion.

 

what about?

ee
se
sd
tank
mage
mage
mage

 

could work too.

but the ee and se will get so bored of rebuffing whole party every 20 minutes.

 

at least u know they wont go afk when u'll need them most ...

 

read the patch note, s/d are combined for sws/bd 85- so you just need 1 in party. and lvling 85 will be very fast

 

well at least one thing is clear, many players as healers will be needed, that's for sure.
