OK, let's discuss the Platonic ideal of an EQ2 raid. Different groups will have different setups, but generally you are aiming for something along these lines: Main Tank Group Main Tank (usually a plate tank) Healer 1 (which healer varies, often a Templar and a Shaman) Healer 2 Dirge (has the best melee buffs) Enchanter (power regen, also allows group to do Balanced Synergy) DPS (to do hate transfer) Off Tank Group It's not absolutely requires to have a second tank, since there are tank swaps on a lot of encounters, and they usually need Bulwark in CD... but we've gotten by having a scout take aggro (and die if necessary). We've even had the tank die and then rez and heal like mad n the tank swap and managed. Off Tank (any tank class) Healer 1 Healer 2 Dirge (has the best melee buffs) DPS (may want to make one of the DPS a mage and the other a scout for Balanced Synergy) DPS Melee Group You may or may not have a melee or mage group, you may just have to manage with whatever DPSers you get. Healer Dirge (has the best melee buffs) Scout Scout Scout Scout Mage Group You may or may not have a melee or mage group, you may just have to manage with whatever DPSers you get. Healer Troubador (has the best mage buffs) Illusionist Mage Mage Mage
