Thinking about going back and trying to do some older raids with my box group just for the lolz. Im just wondering what can be done. My group is War, Cleric, Enc, Mag, Wiz, Wiz. The Mag is mostly for coth. I have a 3rd Wizard on the same account if that would be better. I also have an SK on the Warrior account. For older content do I even need the Warrior or can I use my SK? I just leveled the Warrior up because I figured I would need him for stuff like this. I find the Warrior pretty boring to play and would much rather play my SK if he would be OK. I just dont know if the sheer increase in power from levels, gear, and AAs beats out the Warrior's discs.
Warrior and SK are both great and very powerful. SK will require more attention to tank as well as the Warrior, but it has a lot more options. I'd argue in a 6box team a warrior is superior because you'll want to spend more attention on your other classes. As for the raids, a lot of the difficult, old raids will come down to how good you are at doing things simultaneously on multiple characters. Ex: some of the raids for the 2.5 epic: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=3210 All the mobs can be annihilated by a level 105, but they often have mechanics that make it difficult to do alone. The Deathknell 2: Vertigo: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=3503 is the worst. The raid procs a drunkenness debuff and teleports you around, and you have to do some combination of killing, removing traps etc. Good luck doing this without quite a few people.
