I wasn't planning on boxing but then I got into ISBoxer. Now I am addicted! Choosing a 3 box is tough..
SK - Druid - Enchanter:
SK - Cleric - Enchanter:
Ranger - Cleric - Enchanter:
Pali - Druid - Enchanter:
Or I could always do Tank - Shaman - DPS.. but I don't think I can play without clarity or mez.

Roshen also said a queue was impossible and would never happen shortly before the queue system was announced.

That reminds me of the days of exp penalties and the claims over and over by Abashi how it was impossible to remove them. Mathematicians would post master's thesis level dissertations on why that was bullshit and he'd just stick to his guns. NOPE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.
Still grumps me up a bit to think about.

Reminds me a lot of Abashi, too. Just goes rogue and says a bunch of shit without confirming anything with anyone who actually knows.

For the most part I pretty much absolve Community Rep/Manager etc people from blame when it comes to gaming(hell any aspect of life). I just see them as a spokesman, told what to say and when and that's about it. It's got to be a horrid job imo, every one blames you for every problem and you are just literally reading from a paper that the people in charge gave you

I actually like the timing of all of this... I knew it would be a cluster at opening but didn't know it would be quite this bad but nevertheless, I don't feel like I got a good run and go with everyone. I've also knocked the rust off and have a feel for the early zones and such. Maybe LJ will be a little more laid back. I came from Lanys so i'm used to a teddy bear server but there's little that can be done as others have said. Long as the mages are the way they are, that's going to happen. It really doesn't impact me though.
I'll be rolling a bard on LJ. Looking forward to TFO peeps and trying this again. Hopefully without the need of 2-3 hour queues.

Pali - Druid - Enchanter: This is an intriguing 3-box, because there is about zero overlap in abilities and it checks just about all the boxes.
- Paladin- Plate tanking, lull pulls, stuns, roots, stacking HP buffs, Rez, Heals in a pinch
- Druid- Heals, Dots, Nukes, Snares, Tracking, Ports, Damage Shields, SoW, Stacking Mana Regen HP buffs
- Enchanter- Clarity, Haste, Slows, Debuffs, Mez's, Charm's w/druid snare & heals is great higher level combo

The boxing tools these days are amazing and incredibly easy to use. I boxed a SK Wiz Bard(shouldve been enchanter) on live and did all group content in the latest expansion which is decidedly non trivial for tanks without raid gear. It almost ruins grouping to have so much control over multiple characters. As for the box, I just can't imagine living without Sow, Track and ports so I'd take Druid over Cleric, plus theyre good PLers. Not sure if clerics are all that needed outside of the harder named targets which will be locked down 24/7 anyway.

Well, being a known quantity as I am is always going to screw with things a bit (I've got people from 10-11 years ago that still remember me and try to do stuff with me, guilded with me or not because I'm that personality type when it comes to online gaming).
But I've been in groups with OTHER tanks regularly (and keep in mind even though SOME know me, usually my groups are half pug - often the healers were pug) - and they still preferred me to doing the tanking and pulling rather than the paladin or warrior I've been with. [not grouped with an SK yet]
And honestly half the ranger channel is us joking around about such, my guildchat often makes jokes about it as well, but the intent is completely nonserious since they come back often with comments like: "But I know you'll be outtanking me once defensive is down as you always do, Aszuth" (Comment from one of guild warriors, generally our #2 warrior on past servers - tanking Quarm and Bees in era has made me a bit of legend when it comes to non-warrior tankability)

I'd go Pali-Druid-Enchanter - but replace the ENC with the very similar Bard. (Mez + C equivalents)
Ranger-Cleric-Bard as a second option.
[In short Bard > Enchanter for boxing in my opinion]
