So I have a Warrior 2 berserkers a Bard and a sharman what can I do for the 6th character that would be good for a Melee group.

 

[durango773]

bst 100%.. not super stars (generally) but they make everyone better (modern content)

 

[Hopeless]

Go with bst. everyone loves bst.

 

[Beastmann]

I would have to agree, go with Bst.

with that combination, beastlord...it's a dps melee group...that's the next best "giver" class you can get

 

[Slade the Magician]

Beastlord seems to be the popular pick

I think you should jazz it up and bring in the Barbarian Rogue for your 6th

 

[Sifter228]

Adding another Bard would make life a lot easier.
A cleric would mean the shaman doesn't need their epic and you'd have the best single target healer.

 

[naamloseeen]

BST is kind of the standard pick for that group and has the benefit of a CWTN plugin, but if you want to make life hard you could add a ranger.

They've got some great group buffs and individual dps, but controlling positioning for ranged can be rough.

 

[stvski]

my melee crew is SK 2xRog CLR BRD and BST

I would say BST is the way to go

I do swap out my bst for a monk to keep him up to date and monks aint half bad
I was running shammy before the cleric and i find the cleric saves my ass a lot more than the shammy did

If you really want to have fun run 4 mages and enc and shammy

 

[Husky87]

Ok Thankyou everyone for your help. This Help me narrow down my last slot just got to pick between Rouge ranger and bst now. I mean the 2 zerkers should be Plenty of DPS for almost anything plus the bard with epic and shammy aura and epic I should be good on DPS Might do Beast for the Support to a melee group. Or ranger for HS

What is a beastlord bringing to an almost entirely melee group, out of curiosity? Just the extra mana Regen for Shaman/ slow enemies to take it off shaman hands?

They get an attack buff iirc, savagery or something.

LMAFO this one had me dyin

 

[Slade the Magician]

I have a group with SK, SHM (was originally CLR), BRD, BST, BER, BER.

It works awesome, and I know it was created in part because of suggestions like these when I made the group.

I just couldn't remember why BST.
I love the BST for Paragon alone, but big ole bear pet is also amazing.

RIP my second favorite warder though. The Troll Alligator. I just found out a few days ago it was changed to a Basilisk some years ago. I didn't even realize, since I was playing RoF2 version emus.

 

[Knightly]

Pour one out for the alligator, best warder ever removed for the dumbest reason ever.

Was there actually a reason to remove the gator?

 

[L8erGator]

Clipping and geometry issues, iirc.

 

[Knightly]

Pretty much what, ironically, L8erGator said.

It was an issue in the global models, they explained at the time that they wanted to scale back how many global models there were. However, they chose that one because when warders used to grow as they leveled, the alligator was longer than all the other warders and would get stuck in hallways instead of turning the corridor.

That was one of the big reasons I love the gator. It got so huge.

Just splash out of the water and charge full force. Chomp chomp
