Since TOS is an MMO it is very important to know how class/party balance works. To that effect which class combinations in parties smaller than a swarm do you find has the most or least to offer?
I did notice my mage was refused many parties and very rarely invited to parties while my swordies were accepted & invited often, which begs the question of - Which classes have the highest and which the lowest value for a party?
Your mage probably has no linker, I assume?
Linker+Any cleric with priest can dominate dungeons.
No my mage is/was a linker, and I always defaulted that costume. Though I did not get a chance to play with many clerics (just once as mage)
I played linker and was almost always invited to a party when doing dungeons or grinding.
However, C2 priests are most desirable in a party I think.
Not really sure why no one invited you in, we were always looking for linkers in our party before because linkers really accelerate dungeon runs so much that you could finish a whole run almost twice as fast.
edit: to add, linkers+barb is also good, joint pentalty, knot into barb skills with stun
This topic goes back to the topic I’ve recently created @general discussion. Here’s the link if you feel like it’s of any help : Party Formation in ToS
that’s really strange. people were always LF:linker dungeon full runs in the global chat. I never had any problems even if there was another linker in the party. 2 c1 linkers make the run even faster.
Personally this is my favorite combinations. Dungeon runs are a breeze when in this party formation: Peltasta (taunt/provoke + tank) DPS linker + psycho with cryo3 + priest + sadhu with krivis
worst party compilation would probably be 2-3 pyromancers, 1 melee cleric, 1-2 barb(s) or highlanders…
