I am asking for some advice concerning my team. I'm trying to decide if it is my team makeup, my healing ini file, or lack of gear.
New lv 65 team with few aa's, (18aa's per char).
Paladin, Cleric, Rogue, Mage, Beastlord, Ranger
Currently my Paladin and Cleric have about half their gear in the 100hp/100mana range. The rest is 20-70 hp/mana from dungeons. The rest of the team is mostly dungeon gear.
I passed the Justice trial. Grummus required another person's team. Terris killed my team when she was at 29%. And I'm getting the feeling that I either need to farm some gear elsewhere or change something in my team make up or healing ini since I run out of mana on these fights.
I am considering a Necro in place of Ranger to pump mana to the Cleric while the pet and some DoT's work on the target. Bst is slowing and though it's 10% less of a slow than a Shaman, I was hoping the pet and Bst melee dps offset what the Shaman brings.
But I am curious about what others who have gone before me are doing in their groups.
Are pet classes good to have, or should I forgo for melee who wont run out of mana and I expect can out dps a pet?
Shaman instead of Bst for the extra 10% slow and heals instead of dsp?
Are you setting up healing to focus on complete heal only for the tank and letting the offhealer care for the group?
Or do I just need to set my sights lower right now and farm up gear and aa's?
Please share your wisdom if you will.
