Best Classes for...

[Huggles]

Just a simple guide I made on how to get the best class combinations. These classes are best only for what they say they are best for; they are not necessarily the best in the game.

Note: Bow damage is out of date due to changes to Ranger class. Melee Damage is also out of date due to melee auras.

There are no classes with DoT bonuses, except for Rogues, and doing the calculations for each colour would be long and pointless, as people tend to mix colours.

i never even thought about how necromancers would boost the rabid aura

i suggest re-reading the Dk description as it has a bonus to doT gems.

Rogue/Weapon Master

[Jadakris]

i would actually have to say guardian/tactician for tanking...with guardian/regener or guardian/beast master a close second

[flipynifty]

having to have turbo high dex for the parrying and such a small % bonus i found doesn't work as much as having higher str for more dps.... a tactician pierce user would parry like crazy though

[thatperson]

well with the tactician i was thinking more along the lines of a crush user with a slasher style build w/ decent agi and dex (bout 250-300 of each) you parry quite a bit and also have stuns from crush makes a good tank...i havnt fully tested this one tho just what seems to work out best for me so far tho

Adventurer/regener:

Regenerate additional health, mana, and energy along your merry way.

I'm currently building exactly that, I'll post my results here when it's @ its final build.

lol i mentioned a tank using tactician the other day in 1 of the chats i was in lol. i think it would work really well if built right

Whips are better. 99 epic whips have a delay of 19, while crushers have a delay of 25. With level 100 intimidation and stalking, whip stuns will equal stun duration of a max skilled crusher. Also, whips will give bonus to pet damage and healing, and whips are better for parrying (you need to add dex anyhow) , and they allow you to growl.

So obviously, whips are the better tank, hands down.

um whips are worse for parrying w/ a shield cause u dont get the effect of dual parry

just felt i needed to poke a hole in ur story...dps doesnt matter for a tank (assuming going for best tanking ability) so you can use as low level crushers as u want...71 1hers or even 10 crushers

[Smashbros]

also, the whip bonuses will only work for 1 pet, where as with a crusher, you get more parry but less dps/heals from the pets. is a fair trade off if you ask me

growl is better than parry- not affected by strikethrough

also, i meant in terms of a DW tank

10% chance to growl vs 20% chance to parry parry is better

also when u find a DW guardian tank let me know so i can slap the s*** outta em
