Starting raid content - 4 box

Hi,
It's been a while since I played, but I really enjoyed this server and am hoping to start playing again. My characters before were a Rogue and Shaman that just barely started ToV. I'm hoping to start a 3-4 box to start doing raid content. I kind of feel like playing at my own pace right now, so I'd rather just try to do things by myself at this moment. I have a few questions.

1) With my Rogue and Shaman, what would be the best classes to add to my team? a Warrior and Cleric?

2) How much raid content can I actually do with the War, Rog, Shm, Clr team?
I duo'd trash in ToV to get orbs and such, I'm not sure how strong my warrior has to be to tank the bosses for the patterns though.

3) Are ToV keys still really expensive/hard to get? I remember having to farm a lot of platinum to buy mine in June10.

Thanks!

Tokens for ToV generally run ~ 10k each now, sleepers 20-30, and xeg 50k ish, granted ive been mia for a few weeks so prices may have fluctuated a bit.

war/clr/rog/shm should be a pretty decent set up if you gear yourself up a dps box as well. with the shaman and melee toons you will see a huge dps boost. if you take your time gearing yourself up in east/west tov before you run into north you probably will do just fine, with that set up.

Thanks, Brontu. My Rogue has a Rogue bot that I think I'll end up using as well. I like having a Rogue bot because I can give him my old gear! I'm not sure if it's easier to farm 20k plat or to get keyed and down Emp SSRA. Maybe Emp will be fun though.

I like farming ToV, so I don't mind farming east and west to gear up my warrior first. I figure the Cleric and Shaman can skate by a little bit without being beefy. My Rogue already has decent gear for starting there at least.

One quick question, will that setup be good to go for later tiers too? Or will I start needing more help at a certain point?

you will most likely be needing more help past ToV, ST + gets a bit tougher, could prolly 4box your way through ST, but would be tough to break into there and get yourself grounded.
