A multiplayer created "all the same class" party?

Remove all ads!

I think it's self explanatory enough but here's an example anyway.

Kensaix6
theifx6
mage, bard, paladin etc.x6

Now before anyone goes and say's something along the lines of "but the interactions from the npc's are one of the best part's", Yes I totaly agree on that, but it get's boring after a while and the npc's only limits all the tactical possibiltys and such things as that.

So what class or kit would it be possible to complete the game on?

The kensai for example I could imagine even from Irenicus's dungeon could devestate anything in melee but they need regen items to survive and you need to be careful that they don't die in three seconds flat, and then they have to miss out on the spell and item only protections, like the Amulet of power.

anyway most of you would be expirienced enough without me needing to rant so post away

 

How about Monk x6?

 

Six mages is the way to go. It might be a little tough at the beginning, but lots of spells make for lots of power.

Do you have any restrictions on class variatons? For instance, I can see an all cleric party having a much harder time than a party that allows a CM, FC, and CT.

 

Six Inquisitors. You'd have True Sight and powerful Dispells coming out of your ears.

 

Six fighters, dualled to various things.

 

Its not terribly hard if you know what you are doing (except Bardx6, at least for me )

Btw, I think someone wrote the story of a Thiefx4 (multiclass) party, which you can read in the Creative Surge.

 

What about kits? Or specialist schools? Are they allowed?

A great all-mage party would look like this, if allowed:

Conjurer
Evoker
Illusionist
Necromancer
Wild Mage
Sorcerer

That would be awesome.

 

If kits are allowed, I would certainly take Druidx6. Lotsa possibitlities there.
And it might be fun too

 

yes

 

Barbarian x6

or

Berserker x6

Depending on if you want damage resistance or better armor and Grand Mastery. Both teams have rage to shrugg of all those annoying effects the enemy mages throw at you.

 

If kits are allowed, then almost any class would work. Heck, people go solo, so any party of six should be able to work. I however, would take six theives. I'd have 3 swashbucklers that would make decent tanks, 1 assassin for the backstab, and 2 bountyhunters to throw traps (yes, bountyhunters can literally throw their special traps).

 

Definitely agree with Daephon. The Druidx6 team would relly kick.

 

6 X paladin party (if you can choose kits) would be best imo.

 

Imagine 6 Archers. Kill everything in the game, at a distance.

Think about it - the game would almost be too easy.

 

@Death Rabbit: I gotta try that, if dualclassing is illegal.

Otherwise, 6 fighters, keeping one pure, dualling one to thief, one to cleric, one to druid, and two to mage would kick all ass possibly thinkable of.

 

Actually I think the only thing that makes mage's truly powerful is the Robe of Vecna and Amulet of Power, otherwise without it, anyone thats not a Sorcerer with prot. magic weapons would be hard pressed to kill someone like a Paladin or someone with 127%MR, well the odds would still be in favour of the mage, but how many Sorcerers would be able to prepare against everything? most player would only take pro magic weapons and stoneskin and expect to be prepared from everything, but if I was in a PvP battle and I was an Inquisitor with 100+MR I'd alway's keep a normal weapon just in case something like this would happen, and the mage would be toast, and here is how it would go.

Assuming the Mage know's about my MR they would take a Spell trigger with prot. from magic weapons, stoneskin and someother protection, the chain contingency would take my MR down 90%, and the mage starts to cast a time stop.

This whole time I'd use one of my dispel magics, with truesight preactivated, to dispel any invisibility, and I would then cut down the mage before the time stop is complete.

With the robe of Vecna however the Paladin would definatly lose, but the Paladin doesn't need to rely on special items like the mage does, helpful? definately, nessecary? not at all.

When you mentioned specialest schools I assumed you meant the Mage which is ok since it doesn't exactly matter anyway, and also I thought the title was clear enough.

If you wan't to duel one of your characters then fine, but they ALL have to be the exact same, kit, class, MC etc

 

Six...
Fighters/Barbarians: Not a bad idea, though you'll have to learn to make up for a lot of things. Would be the most interesting.

Thieves: Managing this would be hard, though it'll make a very good challenge. But it'll be very well worth it.

Mages/Sorcerers/Monks/Paladins/Bards: This isn't Diablo 2!

Rangers: Would be similar to six fighters, but easier. (Rangers are more versatile.)

Clerics: Nothing's gonna kill this party, that's for sure.

Druids: More interesting than a six-cleric party, since Druidic spells are more of the offensive/summoning type.

I'm not sure if I agree with this...

I realize that a party of Clerics has no short supply of healing, and can become good at melee and offensive spells later on, but how exactly would they survive to that stage?

Still I imagine it would be funny from an rp prespective to take .

I remember a guy at another forum I used to be on writing about his 6 sorcerer party. It got real funny sometimes, but I guess that it gets way too easy after a while. I mean, a dragon dies within instants if you have the right protections, summons and lower resistance
