Best order/destro 6v6 @ 40?

[Neflak]

Leveling up with some buddies just trying to see what would be ideal for a balanced and coordinated group. What is the meta like up there? We are brand new to the server, but not to the game.

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!

SM/Knight/WL/Slayer/RP/WP

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

They must have really buffed the marauder last time I played they were rather low on the totem poll.

Also no IB? I remember they were beasts in a group but then again most groups were bombing anyway when I played.

Are either of those DoKs running offensive? I remember a group doing that although everything seemed to be balanced around that melee DoK.

Zealot doesn't bring anything to the table that DoK doesn't overshadow? Whats up with that? Is order just over run with slayers (good ones of course) that it would be hard for me to find a competitive group to run with? I know the server has been around a while, but it would be nice to have the option.

Mara is easily the strongest class on destro right now, has everything a DPS would ever need.

The problem with IB/BG atm is SM/BO are doing damage comparable to a MDPS while still being a tank and bringing very good group utility. It's not that IB/BG are bad per se, just that it's a much easier playstyle running with SM/BO... chosen and knight are mandatory for obvious reasons.

DoK's are both heal, because they can cleanse all order inc healdebuffs and things like shatter limbs running 2 is optimal right now. And ofcourse their M2 groupwide cleanse is pretty much a get out of jail free card. Order doesn't get nearly as much running double WP, so it's usually RP+WP.


6v6/scenarios aren't everything, if your group wants to do mainly RvR there are a lot more options for really competitive group comps.

Zealots aren't bad, it's just double dok is preferred. I highly doubt you would have a hard time finding a competitive guild as a zealot.

Really hardcore 6v6 is pretty much dead on this server, im just answering the OP as if I wanted to set up a 6 man to win a 100 thousand dollar tournament or something.

A true 6man group should never be allowed to have double classes !

In your opinion jay, What would be the setup of the tanks in order and destro? SM/IB as 2h and kotbs snb? for destro would it be both snb or 2h chosen and snb BO? (or viceversa)

lol no BG is bad no matter how you slice it

IB >>> BG

knight always snb

blorc always snb

chosen can go 2h if he wants but usually never done because of morale pump cheese

sm is always 2h

ib can do either

[Jaycub]

Destro tanks go SnB for morale pump tactic which is extremely strong. In small scale fighting chosen can easily get crippling strikes on the targets it needs to, no need to go 2h for indiscriminate spamming to proc it.

Order ya, 2h except SnB knight for dirty tricks.
