what is the best party combo

Magneto · 07-17-2002, 12:27 PM

hey i was wondering what the best overall party combo would be.. like who should i accept into my party and who should i dump/refuse?

philip · 07-17-2002, 12:50 PM

You should find out for yourself but a mixed party is good.
3 spellcasters and 3 tanks works well.
(some spellcasters can be used as tank too (Jaheira, Anomen)

There arent one party-combe that is 'the best', there are many good. One of these would be:

Protagonist (good-aligned Barbarian)
Mazzy Fentan
Keldorn Firecam
Anomen Delryn
Aerie
Nalia/Imoen

A very good fighting-party, both melee and ranged, plus good spellcasters, and a thief. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dragonbreath · 07-17-2002, 03:19 PM

Another good one:

Orkel(good-aligned orc fighter)
Minsc
Jaheira
Yoshimo/Imoen
Aerie
Edwin

This is what im playing now [img]smile.gif[/img] . It's good because you have 3 tanks, 1 thief and 3-4 spellcasters...

whacky · 07-17-2002, 03:34 PM

Whatever you do, dont you ever forget Minsc and boo, i love them and Minsc competes for the best or 2nd best tank in the game. The rest :-
A character of your choice
Nalia
Anomen(if you get his quests right)
Keldorn(cause of the holy avenger)
Cernd ?
No specific last character but Valgayar seems good

Minsc is a very good tank but he hasn't been doing well in my group lately...Of course that's because i've been comparing him to my main character [img]smile.gif[/img] .

I just started playing (Chapter 2) but I think I have a great combination....

Kensai Fighter (level 9)/Mage Level 10
Korgan
Minsc
Keldorn
Yoshimo
Viconia

So far, I am kicking ass. What do you guys think of this party?

Zarr · 07-17-2002, 05:38 PM

IMO opinion you probably have too many tanks. If I was you I'd drop either Minsc or Keldorn.

Keldorn will try and kill Viconia if there both in your group for too long so I'd drop Keldorn. You could probably do with another mage or maybe a druid. So you should pick up either Jaheria or Cernd or Nalia.

Aerie isn't an option because she will leave the group if Korgans in it.

Again, there is NO SUCH THING as a "best" party. Best for your style, I don't know, you tell me.

One example, in my Neutral game, it was
Me (CN Elven Fighter/Mage)
Jaheira
Anomen
Haer'Dalis
Jan
Aerie

Note that we're all full-time spellcasters.
