Where are you on the autism scale. I think beating your head on the wall constantly is a minimum point for liking bard solo.

When I played on Agnarr everyone was grouping as normally as I expected. Dunno what the case would be now.

bards are amazing. can do so many fun things when you learn the tricks and how to pull, and then can also just be lazy and sing songs and melee if you want. I think id rather gouge my eyes out than solo on one though, not that they are bad at it, just tedious compared to any other class.

Lotta SK love in here. How do they compare against Warriors in modern TLPs? Trying to round out a group with my homies. So far we have
rogue/ench box
Bard
Tank/Cleric/mag/4th slot utility box
I’ll be rocking the tank/cleric/mag box like I did on Phinny where I played a warrior. Liked it, especially for raids later on but debating going sk this round. Pretty set on the cleric for cheal on charmed pets as well as we suck so Rez is a necessity. With the cleric healer seems like the sk life taps are less valuable than with an sk/shm combo.
That would round out the group but I’ll probably throw a 4th box in for times when one of the buddies aren’t around. What would y’all do? I debated wizard for low maintenance DPS and ports but it iirc they kinda suck in kunark era. Leaning toward Druid for ports/sow/light dps/downtime heals but man there’s some Druid hate in here haha.

Warrior is clearly inferior in everything but the ability to soak up damage, but you can make it work if you really want to. Just be prepared to have everyone but the warrior tanking for the first expansion or two.
Pick SK if that's not hint enough.

you can make warrior work for a group, but SK has it easier for everything. Even for raiding you use warriors when you need defensive rotations to survive being rounded or if you are low dps and need the reduced dmg taken to keep the chain running long enough to kill the target, any other situation you use a knight just so the dps can go crazy right off the bat just because their threat is a billion times better than warriors. And on fear mobs obviously once fearless AA becomes a thing knights are the choice there.

I love playing war, and have plenty of times. Their agro is honestly fine-ish single target early on, especially when you get decent weapons. The problem with warriors is that you are always in a reactive struggle to do your job right for like the first 5-6 expansions. SK/pally are proactively doing their job. It's just a lot easier and better, and even when warriors get okay at the job, SK's and pallies are stellar at it.
If you plan on boxing, having to do all it takes to properly manage warrior agro is a huge hassle. I'd say that a few expansions in, warriors with the absolute best gear are better than hybrids in most situations, but considering that even the MT of the top guild is only going to be rocking top tier gear for a small portion of an expansion, planning on that is just not wise. Hybrids are better in most 'real' situations.
if you want to have 2 FD classes, SK + monk or SK + necro are both very fun combos. With healing potions you don't absolutely need a healer if you're sniping named or doing small camps. Or if you're planning on teaming up 90% of the time anyways but still want to run anywhere you want and FD off trains or FD to afk.
