Bot count and makeup

[Gorrok]

Hi Al

I thought i would start a thread where people can list how many bots they run and their general group make-up (and if they bot with others)
That way new people can see what kind of investment people have made to botting to get the results and success that they have gotten.
Also listing toughest Mob downed and currently my biggest challenge with botting.

Guess i shall start
I run 13 bots (2 groups)
SK/Def/Inq/Brig/Coer/Dirge
Pal/Myst/Inq/Illy/Wiz/Troub (my extra account is a Conj that i use when i dont need 2 tanks)

Tougest CoE named downed has been Fitzpitzle.

Tougest bot challenge is to get more DPS out of my team (but i suspect that it is something that everyone is busy with)

I only run 6 total, but have 3 varying groups dependent on mood/scenario.

Group 1: Monk, Mystic, Inq, Dirge, Coerc, BL (Soon to be Ranger) - Main Group
Group 2: Monk, Defil, Warden, Dirge, Coerc, Brig - Play Group when bored/experimenting stuff.
Group 3: SK, Mystic, Inqy, Troub, Illy, Lock. - Was using as a pure dps group for a while.

Managed to kill with these:
AoA - All EM
Harrows - Up to Fitzpizzle (3rd Room too painful with 1 group)
ST - First 3 (Could probably do Sentinel too with a templar rather than Inqy - But don't do 3rd often as its a pain).
X2 - Cleared
X2 HM - First named

Tried Boar once, went badly . Not going to have hardware any time soon for a 2nd group.

6.

Berserker, Mystic, Warden, Ranger, Dirge, Coercer is what I usually run, though I've been leveling toons to switch around so I can run with one healer or no fighter or mage group or mage/tank group or etc.

If I ever get around to running two groups they would probably look like...

MT: Berserker, Mystic, Warden, Dirge, Coercer, Ranger

And either
DPS: Brigand/SK, Warlock, Troub, Illy, Mystic, Fury/Wizard
or
DPS: Brigand, Assassin/Bruiser, Dirge, Coercer, Mystic, Warden

Hardest Mob: They are all "hard mobs" until they aren't. Whether it is because of low gear or needing some custom coding.

G2 is a new group so we are currently gearing them up in EM before we make a larger push into HM content. I run all of the support groups, while my raid partner runs the MT group.

 

[Eyedea]

G1 Monk/Coercer/Mystic/Dirge/Assassin/Inquisitor
G1 Troubadour/Warlock/Necromancer/Illusionist/Mystic/Fury

AoA: Cleared
ST-U: Cleared
HE: Cleared

Between my wife and I, we run 16 accts, leaving 2 spots for my irl friends

Cleared:
AOA - EM
HEx4 - EM / 1soulwell
ST - 1-3 & Sentinel EM
I haven't tried WEx2 HM or POW.

MT group: Zerk, Dirge, Coercer, Defiler, Inq, Ranger
OT group: Paly, Dirge, Coercer, Mystic, Ranger, BL
3rd group: Mystic, Necrox2, Conj, Troub, Coercer

My main group for doing instances is: Zerk, Mystic, Dirge, Coercer, Ranger and Swash. AoE dps is AMAZING.

I run a total of 12 toons 2 groups:
G1=bruiser..warden..defiler..sin..dirge..coercer
G2=Bst..Bst..brig..dirge..mystic..inq
Have access to: troub..coercer..illy..temp..monk..SK..Pally..Guard to swap out if needed.

I just added the 2nd bst to my 2nd group. I was doing ~2.3m dps with G2 consisting of SK..ranger..brig..inq..mystic..bst. I also need better gear for my 2nd group as DPS is my main choking point.

AoA=cleared
HE= Bastion is my bane right now. Need to work out a strat for him.
WE x2= NPC with the spider adds. My 2.3M dps doesn't cut it on that mob.
ST-U= 1st named down. Haven't tried other yet. I need better gear for group to.

You should try Ranger..Ranger..Dirge..Mystic..Coercer..Brig for 2nd group. Rangers are the OP class now. Beastlords have been retired.

I read on eq2flames that SOE broke BST

What happened? They arent the easy DPS they used to be?

BL can still put out very high numbers, however if you compare to a ranger, you need a lot more to go your way.
Using ranger = no pet management, no range issues for the most part, and a HP debuff.
