We're trying to get the "ultimate party" consisting of: Bucc, UA sair, paladin, bowmaster, shadower/mystery class, and an HS mule we can hopefully tele into LHC. We would have to stick to those alligators for a while but we'll move up to stone golems eventually. I think coming up with an ideal strategy for party combinations for a map is really important for fast exp gain and i've done that for my parties, though the whole thing is entirely theoretical obviously.
Takebacker Wrote:I am in no way suggesting an optimal party be stuck to for training. Merely that the concept of a dream party should be taken more as a strategy that fleshes out the advantages of each class, rather than assembling classes to achieve dream DPS for the sake of optimal exp. Making a class shouldn't be based on ideal parties or how to be part of them. Making a class because you want to and forming strategies for it is how it should be.
In that case, I would suggest going about strategy-making the other way.
e.g., "Given a party consisting of Hero, MM, I/L, Shad, and Pally (and, of course, HS) what's the best strategy for stone golem map 3?"
Raising the optimal party won't help you with forming strategies for other classes, if those are what you happen to want to play. For that, go on your current chars and work out the perfect way for them to work together.
