Advice on group to box?

[Beatboxin]

Before I got my new tower and started boxing 12-18, I did 6 for a year on my old tower and I played a pally,shmy,clr,brd,wiz,wiz for my 6 and could solo t7 dow and a few t8 boss's as well.

What was your main use for the Shaman in the group? I'm surprised to see the Shaman there without more Melee DPS classes. Is there a reason you picked it over Enchanter since you had two Wizards?

ya buffs/debuffs and back up healer.. shamans get a spell called gladiator that is great dps boost in dps for all class not just melee.

Currently, this group composition would be pretty poor dps due to massive wizzy nerfs versus, say, 6 - 9 months ago. Wouldnt you go with a different dps crew if you were starting today Beat?

No because wizard still leads the dps charts and IMO should always lead for that is a wizards soul purpose is to nuke dps. I run a 2 monks and a zerker and my wiz's still out dps them. With all the nerfs done to wizards there still the best dps top end IMO.

Beatboxin 6chars group setup is one of the best you can ever get. everything is pretty well balanced, if I had to start over , I would do the same but switch one wiz for my loved monk and the pally for a war or SK because I hate paladins.

What is the Gladiator spell? I can't seem to find info about it. Is that a custom spell for this server?

When you are on the Portal page, click on Allaclone, then on the bottom left, Spells. Choose the class you want and choose your spell.

Gladiator (3 different ranks) :
Rk1 being : webtools/spell.php?id=9199
Rk2 is nodrop and comes from Halls of Honor (T8) and Rk3 is nodrop too but you need to beat Chaos which is the actual final mob of T8.

Hijacking a wee bit, what sort of rotations do you do for the Wizzies and how many debuffs do you chuck on for them to be extra effective? Just thinking I may start 1 or 2 wizzies for my group as I'm expanding to 10-12 chars.
