Return of Reckoning

What would be the one class on order and destro for a dps or support slot that you could roll and be widely desired in all situations (6v6/ORvR/City siege/PvE)? (spec varying of course)

WP/DoK

dps?

So can zealots do well in 6v6 then?

DPS is hard to answer, slayer/Mara probably... Balance and what is and isn't good is really blurred in ORvR since the environments and conditions are so varied, and mechanics that are bad or meh in small scale cand find themselves much better in larger scale fighting or when you have keep walls to hide behind etc...

yes

Also remember I'm just one person, kinda surprised no one else is chiming in especially when the server is down.

server being down is crushing my soul

BO/Ch/Mara/Chop/DoK x2

Tanks and healers are imo pretty much locked in, DPS wise mara and slayer are a lock... you can run double mara or slayer or fit a WH/WE in there as well... destro has a bit more flexibility with DPS since mara literally does everything you need... problem with double slayer is lack of armor debuff forcing you to run IB which isn't ideal.


This is the 6v6/scenario meta anyways

I approve that destro setup, been running this since day 1 of T4. As a matter of fact if you queue scenarios that are melee friendly like GoE etc... You can get whole mercenary set in a week! Also I find Zealot instead of one DoK to be equally viable, that buff is neat!

Are there some classes on order/destro that just don't get group invites due to be overshadowed by another class? If so which? Appreciate the time, thanks!

Balanced group, i'll take it as in good in scenario and RvR. I'll propose something different, although I mainly agree with Jaycub on his 6v6 pov (except I believe IB to be = to SM )

So, on order, I'd say : WL / SW for dps (good synergy, best mobility combo). Then standard RP/WP heals. Tanks : IB (I prefer them to SM for RVR, they have better CC and they can do good enough in 6v6) /knight.

On destro, dps : SH/mara or Sorc/mara. Healers : dok/zealot or 2 dok (I prefer Zealot for stagger, self-rez and winds). Tank : Chosen/BO.

Having a range in your setup will make your group a lot more versatile for RvR, while still being ''in your face'' enough to win most scenario, except tough 6v6 versus true melee trains.

But truth be told, the only classes you really must have, like absolutely need in any group are knight/WP and dok/chosen (or BO arguably). If you have those, you can play many different comp and still do good. Not best on the server good, but good enough to compete in most fights.

For classes that aren't picked in group : Engineer, Magus. Even if you are epic at it, you won't get invited to serious group outside of being the pull bot for a bomb WB.
