CB and I are talking about starting HCE anytime soon. This will be a losey scheduled team game such as our Sunday Hookup. So anyone who would like to share the suffering are welcome to hop in.
The initial idea for our first taste of HCE is to put safety first so the basic idea is/was to have a team of guardians. With enough guardian, we can chain spam Healing Prayer, Great Defender and overlap Deflection that should make most otherwise dangerous situation survivable. Each guardian can still master a slightly different (set of) skill for synergy. such as
Max Shield Wall with taunt skills to tank. (and Aura of Defense)
Max Shield Turn (and Shield Master) to stun and apply status effects.
Max Sword skills for damage.
Or even throw in a Gundian (with or without a shield) to deal with range attackers, and punish melee mobs before they get in range.
All that depends on how many players we have. We can go with any other class combo and tactic as long as you don't mind dying.
I don't mind playing an evoker for added damage, with Brom's Curse for team support.
We want to start this soon, at least, create a toon before the new patch so that it may have a chance of grabbing a Skill Retrainer Token.
Also, do we want a team themed name for our toons in the tradition of Ironman?
PS: I would suggest each of as create a HCE mule at the same time to lug around our second best items as well as some extra good items for other classes. We can also power lvl the mules when it is convenient.
We may one day be playing the mules so give them appropreiate name ;p
