Coming from a barb main, what's your ideal squad?

My squad is

BM, Wiz, Cleric, Sin, Seeker, Archer.

That's because of taking advantage DPH and DPS when the seeker is the main tank, cleric is the main healer, archer is the main AOE DD, sin is the single target DD, wiz is the backup DD/healer, BM does debuffs and backup tank/DD.

    It really does depend on the instance. However, I'll give you the slightest depth:

    Barb (Myself), Cleric, BladeMaster, Assassin, Archer, Venomancer.

    Like Venos for Amp & Sparks.

    Depends on the instance but usually I don`t really care who joins as long as many debuffs can be provided as possible!

    That's exactly what I meant, especially when the seeker as a main tank is debuffed, QPQ f:laugh

    Barb and cleric and obviously myself is just automatic. The remaining slots can be any class that isn't a barb or cleric.

    These.

    But in general, BM, Sin, Veno, Seeker, Cleric, and a second BM. Barb outside of squad or aps barb instead of second bm.

    The better my gear gets the more I prefer doing pulls on my bm. Marrows are just too awesome and even though my BM has half the hp of my barb with marrows I take half the damage and with my aoe stuns and leaps I take even less. Invoke is great, but as long as I have bp damage isn't really an issue and BM aoes are much more effective and spammable than most barb aoes (after sunder+arma). BMs really are the ideal puller imo.

    Obviously, between 2 BMs and a seeker mobs will be mowed down. We lack magic dd, but theres only 1 instance (AEU) where that'd be an issue and my BM with DBB can still take out a chunk of hp rivaling a G15 wizard, same with sins and Condensed Thorn, and we still have the veno.

    So that leaves bosses. BM (HF), Veno (Soul Degen, Amp, and Armor Break), a well built seeker for about -50 boss defense level debuffs, and demon Subsea would just be too OP. Timed correctly a squad like this can knock out a world boss in a spark or two (12-20 seconds for 23m hp). Most squads only difficult parts are when bosses do their special attacks and so if you kill a boss in 6 seconds you never need to face a special attack.

    Friends/anyone I know I can trust for them to do what 'should' be done to make the run as smooth as possible.

    and while it does depend on the instance...

    I think me on my Bm, a mystic, seeker, sin, cleric, + veno. = Very fast instances/kills regardless of the place. (again as long as they know what they are doing... that is my ideal squad... could even switch out that cleric for a psychic, depending on the mystic)

    EDIT.. but yea I rarely am picky regardless of what instance it is, i'll take anyone if I know one person can pull/tank/do what the squad essentially needs at the time.

    for tw: 2/3 bms, 1/2 wizard or psyc, veno, cleric, barb, seeker, mistyc.

    TT: bm + sin

    nirvana: bm + sin

    bh: bm + sin + cleric

    PK: r9rr +12 full jods ppl :P

    NW: idk i got many diferent squad and with one op squad we failed, and with another oen that was average squad we ruled..sooo idk... but i would say, 2 clerics and a seeker and r9rr mages.

    Rebirth: cleric+seeker+sin+bm+wizard

    Farming dq items: bm

    WS: bm+cleric+2mages(wizard/psyc)//can be one mage one seeker+sin+veno

    Rebirth: cleric+seeker+sin+bm+wizard

    Farming dq items: bm

    WS: bm+cleric+2mages(wizard/psyc)//can be one mage one seeker+sin+veno

    Suggested modifications:

    PK: BM+veno+cleric is arguably one of the strongest 3 man units possible; add in a barb for strongest 4 man unit (assuming no external buffing); strong 2 man units include psy + wiz; wiz+wiz, seeker + archer; cleric + archer; barb + bm; cleric + cleric, bm + veno (anything where you have really complimentary debuffs)

    NW: 2/3 venos, cleric, mystic, bm, barb, 1/2 archer, sin, psy/wizard; mages scare me much less than purgers, and I think any other habitual flag carriers would agree

    Rebirth: seeker + sin + cleric, or if the seeker is unusually OP, just seeker + sin

    farming dq: barb or bm (barb speed and many aoes + modern dmg = just as fast or faster than bm)

    warsong: any combination where bosses die in 1 spark is workable: suggest barb buff outside, then: sin, cleric, 2 bms, veno, other

    Ideal squad makeup will only take you so far. Presumably with friends you are more open with each other, more open to good communication, more likely to be on vent and communicating in a way that a random squad of ideal makeup will not be. Thus there is quite a bit of truth to 'friends' making for a great squad. An imperfect squad communicating well will often trounce an ideal squad that isn't communicating. And btw, you can't include yourself among the 6 ppl who 'aren't idiots' because you had nothing useful to say either.

    Cheers,

    Give me a tanky thing and a healy thing and I could care less about what else is in my squad xD As long as I have a reliable tank and healer, I don't even bother asking for class half the time in world chat anymore- I've started asking random questions like favorite color or type of pie instead lol (sadly, 95% of people still insist on telling me their class/linking weapons/etc.)
