Just curious....

How would a 6 box of Druid, Enchanter, and 4 mages do here?
Better to do 4 mages or 3 mages 1 necro?
Looks like this group could handle anything easily except for raid targets...

Running to town to buy spells often would suck bad....I'm sure ISboxer would make other things pretty easy though....
Could easily max out in 1 month and stop paying for the boxes at that point....sort of like your own powerlevel/powergearing group to 50

It would do just fine. Dont plan on healing your pets just summon new ones. Running to town? No you bind where you are, use origin AA ability (every 18 minutes) to "gate" to your hometown, buy spells, gate back. 4 mages can handle some raid targets, lol.

I run around with ench/nec/mage/mage/shm/clr but ive been boxing other chars in and out of the group to get them leveled up. I use the enchanter to pull, I started with singles but now I just spam ae stun on enchanter while I assist nuke on the mages/shm/nec with pet attack in the nuke macro. Sometimes I charm on the enchanter too, but yeah I buff the enchanter with clr/shm buffs and spam color stuns, works out well for me. I didnt start doing that until about 40, before then I would pet tank and heal the pets but druid mana pool is pretty low so probably better to try to stun things and kill them while stunned.

I dont buff the pets, I do burnout but I also dont chain pet summong unless i'm doing FGs or that crazy ratman guard in the hole. You could probably do naggy, but the problem is you have to compete with actual raids so you most likely wont get the opportunity, but you can easily do fire giants and other big stuff just with chain pet summoning. the 49 water pets are retarded, tanked 4 fgs with just 2 lvl 49 water pets, no heals, summoned each pet twice (so 3x2 water pets killed/tanked 4 fgs). Can also clear fear or hate pretty well.

With the magus roykl mask (improved dmg 2 focus) my lava bolt is doing about 955 dmg. It's retarded damage, and 4 mages would be ridiculous. Currently with one click of my nuke button, the two mages, nec, and shm end up "one" shotting a bok/dar froglok, guk's take two or so, but yeah because I can pretty much click my isboxer nuke button once and kill a frog, ae stun works for me as I pull 4-5 frogs, stun lock them and kill them one by one.

Just feel it out, it'll be rough in the beginning, once you get clarity youll be able to nuke a lot more. And yes I look at this combo as a "self powerleveling" combo. As I prefer to duo my shm/nec but when it comes to racing to the top, I'll be using this combo again to grind. I also didnt even need to gear up until I got around 45. My necro, mages, and shm/cleric were pretty much naked. I did buy some CHa gear to help charm but other than that it was all pets and clarity carrying me.
