A few changes in game play (zergs) and just basic overall dynamics of the game itself have changed lately. It seems our nightly running group needs to update or rework our current setup for survivability. Any thoughts on what your ideal 8-Man setup would be nowadays? We battered around running more tanks than casters, but like I said, it's just a discussion topic. Any pros have good insight on what group compilation should be now?


Thanks in advance

Aug, mend, and healing spec healer. Shaman, Warrior, Thane, Savage x2.

since im lurking deciding if i want to give the game a shot again(haven't played for a LONG while), but my question is why no skald? is speed not all that great anymore?

edit: oh right, ghetto healer speed + sprint?

A lot of groups run the following: 2 healer, 1 sham, 1 skald, 1 zerker, 1 warrior, and 2 mages

But of course it depends greatly on what you're trying to achieve. The previous setup is clearly aimed at 8v8. For a more 8vX oriented setup I'd replace the warrior by another mage.

+1

i like 2 healers sham 2 warr caster zerker and skald what i used to run. But setup is only 1/4 of the game the rest is how skilled the players are and how well they work with each other
