The Ultimate Farming Group

[Smartress]

I played last night using my Warrior Swordpanda with Chaudex (he respeced to become a Tank) farming group that was SO FUN!

I always thought the best group combination for instance was a balanced group with perhaps 1xTank, 2xHealers, 2xDPS (BowBear/Bowchantress/BowBird).

I was WRONG! The best group without doubt is 5 x Bear Tanks!!! With a couple Isis/Thoth gears each Tank, we don’t need healers.

To prove a point, we did Plasma Pyramid in about 5/6 minutes by killing all bosses.

We did Map 4 by killing the boss in 3 minutes, Map 2 about 2 minutes, with all the Lesser D’Jinn untouched.

Wow!

Either you are totally right or the tanks are just suer skilled and actually KNOW what theyre doing. I kinda favor the first choice :P

Bears, STR Bears especially, take the most abuse in PvE.

With so much regen from Thoth/Isis and potions, healers aren't needed at all, so yeah I can see why this would work a charm.

[Gavry]

Fully agree,

I've farmed with Chaudex a lot and with 5 bears you can run through a map in no time.

[roguedubb]

Is there much in the way of expenses for a 5xBear group?

[blitzin]

What are the real names for map 4 and 2 etc...?

[Smartress]

No 1,500g potions required other than a couple of odd Health potions.

There is one Bear putting the Experience Potion for Good Luck, though I don't think it worked.

I'm assuming your clear times are stated with simply running past trash

Yes, All Trash Mobs are skipped, including Lesser D'Jinns

Tanks are the best farmers, actually any bear build make a better farmer then the other classes. Simply because mages attract enemies with their spells and birds die easily if you are not careful.

we don’t need healers.

Haters, everywhere :P

Haters, everywhere :P

I don't hate mages, my maint is an Enchantress.

Although a group of 4 bears and healer (Paladin preferred) will also work nicely. Though Mage, will probably not do any AoE damage spells to ensure her survivability.
