Ok I have been doing a team of a mp crat doc fixer enforcer.
Not working as well as I would like. The end bosses in a mission even at full green and on 14.2 (i play on test) are still tough enough to kill part(or all) of my team frequently.
I do find that pet classes do work well with the hydra. I think I am going to try the advice I got earlier in this thread and go all pets.
My new team plan right now is Mp, Trader, crat and 2 engies. I know about the OE nerf and plan to use the mp and trader to good effect in buffing up the engies.
I think I will have the trader as my main puller and and main focus to play. He will have to debuff and mez as needed as well as light heals.
I will let you all know if this works well or not. Any comments or suggestions always wwelcome.
I have not decided on races but currently my MP is nanomage and I like have the extra int early. I know about the disparity in the high levels between nanomage and solitus but in the low end game it looks like the nano has an advantage.
