Advice for setup 4 box

[icehard]

Im currently playing a war / cle / shm combo and i want to add some dps in there
i have donor shm wep and was planing to get 2 more donors
the question is is it better for me to reroll my war and go with SK donor or pal donor and then some kind of other dps ?

Personaly I run Warrior, Shaman, Cleric and Ranger along with a rogue bot. I have several other toons to add if needed, the bard being the most common. This set up works in most situations for my playstyle. My warrior is a good part of my DPS where with the knight classes they tend to hit about as hard as a moss snake, thus if I were to change my warrior to a knight I would need to substitute one of my healers for something a bit more destructive.

Think about this when choosing a tank for your box team.
Palladin: Purely Defensive, very low DPS (proc's make up most of it) but very hard to kill if your working them right and are probably the best tank post T6 for personal survivability.
Shadow Knight: Agro Kings, DPS is still very low but they can hold agro on groups of mobs like no other.
Warrior: Good DPS and the best single target agro and damage mitigation but no Fear Resistance, wich is big on several fights and very little chance of holding agro on several mobs. They are the perfect AFK tank for box'ers.

All in all there isnt a bad tank class if they are geared right, but personaly I dont think there is a best for all situations.

I hit like a moss snake?

I run PAL SHM RNG WIZ and like it quite a bit. Ranger is a great choice for a damage slot and its easy to box. The donor bow is amazing too.

Monk or Ranger are going to be your best bet for low headache dps. Get one of them or the tank to gear a rogue bot so it will assist you and you have yourself a group.

For real good times, buy the rogue bot a donor. I hear that's how you grow your epeen.

Tank:
Off hand I'd say that you should stick with your warrior.

For boxing in my opinion it's the most viable choice. You hit auto-attack and alt-tab - the procs will do the rest.

If you got the extra cash you'd like to donate, rather go for some of the extra defense items for the warrior. The Knights can sustain themself quite well, but you need to be a tad more active button-wise than on the warrior. So instead of switching too much, you can focus on chainhealing with the healers.

DPS
Like the others said, but in a few easy steps:

1) Roll a Ranger
2) Give him a donator bow
3) Hit autofire
4) Go AFK

1.1) Remember to give him a silly name with a reference to the core of the class. Obvious choices are: Onebuttonwonder, AFKavenger, Dontneedresists

Hope above helps

Lokknar is a T7 geared beast, I'd be willing to put him up there with a drybone skelly for DPS.

But I dont think my box team could take him out in the arena.

Jekudo bashes like a moss snake. Thats for sure.

I usually 4 box also.

My crew is depending on named

War/SK
Monk+rogue bot
Cleric
Druid

I sometimes add a bard to that setup and I must say I'm pretty happy with that set up. Druid over shm is a very personnal choice since I never liked playing shms.

and about my epeen , my rogue bot got donor weap and vp/fear/gm event gear and I must say the $$ I paid are totaly worth it.

Its my understanding that SK requires more attention to be an effective tank. Warrior is set it and forget it.

Can't stress rogue bot enough... pulls amazing DPS when buffed.

Donor rogue will have 94/20 weapon with easy augs. Crit backstabs should break 8k (pretty frequently).

My rogue bot has LDON dagger, Edge of Oblivion, which is buffed to 61/21. I don't believe you will find better until VP. I'm using this until I can find a way to get Rogue weapon/donor for bot without taking away from my family's food budget.
