    Default What is the most important in a party?

    Healer and buffer for me. I have always played both since ages old. Currently I also play as a Staff main in AtO. Have played Archer(main healer) in Cabal, Muse Elf buffer build in MU and Cleric in RO.

    Every party needs a good tank, i am proof of that.
    back in RO me and two of my friends downed Dopple with no healer.
    granted all three of us were lord knights at the time, and of course, i was pretty much full vit.

    You need an archer to hit those pesky monsters shooting from afar. Im speaking from a pvp view but every time there is an archer one one and none on the other, they abuse them so much. The archer is always attacking the healer, then the healer has to heal himself, and one guy from the teams dies.

    Always bring an archer.

    Its always a healer since a party cannot do major things in mmorpgs without them. Pots just arent as good as they used to be.

    Ragnarok is a bad example to use since alot of classes can do alot of things depending on certain tweeks and mvps just aint that hard on ragnarok since their AIs are just soo dumb...

    But i second a tank. And now that i think about it. without a tank even a healer cant save a squishy from dying against something hard so i dont know in mmorpgs u need everything. With tanks and healers only it takes years to kill stuff so u need DD without archers in alot of dungeon type mmorpgs and i bet u will see this is Aion. Ranged users will be pulling. without pullers and crowd control tanks are useless and so is DD and healers...etc

    get my point?

    People who aren't idiots, people who don't think having a healer makes them invincible, people who don't think having a tank + healer means they can do whatever they want with no fear of dieing.

    Using CoH as a reference, I've played both a healer, and a tank. The only wipes we ever get against purples/reds are from squishes rushing in because I'm healing, or from people not letting me hold the effing aggro around the corner. <_____<

    More to the point, a team needs balance. Range, healer, dps, tank. A team of healers won't get the job done. Ateam of tanks..well maybe. Range..dead. dps..dead. Balance people!

    As far as a party to level and stuff, if one job is more important than the other, you don't have a party. Everyone is important and can make or break the party.

    PVP, you need a rogue or somone that can take down a healer in a matter of seconds or any other caster. PvE healers are important but would be nothing without a good tank and sometimes you can make it far without a healer but without a tank or someone to draw the aggro your probably going to go down in seconds.

    depends on the game, really, sometimes
    you can just win by only using dmg dealers,
    no need for healers or tankers,

    I think tanks are really important. I soo hate when theres melee damage dealers running into mobs and messing up the agro. The only time Ive ever been in a party that failed is when.

    A. There was no tank.
    B. There was an idiot who thinks hes a tank.

    Depends on what kind of party.

    PVP - Healer and damage dealers
    PVM - Healer and tank
