I'd love to hear the results! But ooh the downtime!

I was part of an all caster group of six that ventured into the new Paw. We
had 2 enchanters, a shaman, a cleric, a mage, and a wizard. It was boring
kinda. We either annihilated the mobs we faced or got forced to gate real
quick. With 3 pets we were able to get away every time though. If we'd
have had 2 necros and just 1 enchanter and no mage I think it would have
been even easier.

Thats funny. My friends and I have been planning to test that very
assertion. We wanted to make a group of Bard, Warrior, Ranger, and 3
Paladins (pallies get better heals plus Lay Hands). We felt with 6 melee
types, we could really do some serious damage. We would have had a great
time thru the lower levels, but I could see possible problems at higher
levels. By selectively taunting and backing out of combat, we could have
spread the damage around quite well.
