Ok, I was aiming to post a group for the high teens into the twenties.
My highest character is level 30, so I really don't know high level
group strategies.

If we are to debates, lets debates about the same thing....what
is a good group for the 20s? The bard doesn't have the mana song,
the cleric can't res, the enchanter doesn't have the mana regen
spell (until level 29).

And since its near impossible to find the perfect group
How about we discuss groups that compliment well. And since
this is the monk mailing list lets make sure the Monk is on it...

I think someone posted that Monk/Shaman is a nice team for 2 person group.

What about 3 or 4 or 5 or 6?
Personally, I think the bard with his attack speedup song can
compliment the Monk well, that is from experience with
bard/warrior teams though. Warriors get crafted armor decently
through these levels, so they experience a jump in AC compared
to the monk/ranger/paladin/sk, right? So if you can
find a warrior as your primary tank, the party will take a lot less
damage? I know later on the monk catches up to the warrior in AC,
but not in the 20s.

Okay, I'm rambling now...if you guys want to discuss level 50 groups
don't do them when some of us are talking about level 20 groups..
