Just wondering what the best 3 man group with mercs would be. To grind out xp or something like ss faction, or solo raid mobs for loot and plat? I currently use zerker with the CE collection healer merc, a coercer with the assassin or ranger merc, and a fury with the monk or brig.
Tank, healer and decent dps as the players (or swap dps for utility class), with the mercs being dps/utility. I would probably go something like Guardian or Monk, Inquisitor and Coercer as players, with Dirge and two DPS from assassin, ranger, wiz, warlock. Could swap out a dps merc for an inquisitor for harder stuff and have the player inquisitor be a different healer class (maybe a warden for all the death saves, etc). But for all but the latest stuff, as long as you have a healer and tank you should be ok.
For grinding, i just box with inqui merc and raidpala as steamroller ^^ If you take 3 real players, you realy dont need a merc as backup as long as the member got some decent gear.
