Skills: Hound's Rush, Hound's Harry, Dogs of War, and Whistle. Houndmaster in rank 3 or rank 4 acting as a marker, dps, and occasionally healing stress. The last two ranks can have several different classes. They have pretty good range, able to hit up to enemy position 3 using Finish Him. They mostly hit things but occasionally I'll use uppercut to stun or move an enemy back, or mark so that another party member can attack instead. Skills: Collect Bounty, Finish Him, Mark Target, and Uppercut. Not even your tanks with some prot on them can shrug that off.Ģ bounty hunters in the front acting as dps and tanks. Usually though it's a swift two crits to all hell breaking lose instead. So I have to 'fit' those weird corner case classes in rather than build around them. I like to keep a BH or Helion or Abomination in that Rank 2 because it seems to soak up a ton of hits. I try to avoid running 1 tank and three squishies. Getting to take the Plague Doctor pretty much anywhere is a 'perk' (although in later levels Blight does truly become rad.) Same story with the Houndmaster. But I shuffle my parties pretty often not out of careless but necessity. Still, I'll occasionally run into that awkward combo. All the classes do pretty well at the stuff they're supposed to, so just about any line up works anywhere in the traditional 1 tank 2 dps 1 healer setup. It's been nothing 35 - 45+ crit heals can't solve, and a flat +25 to 30% damage for DPS! Anything that's stacked too much before you could heal it off in combat, pop a supply item, you're good to go.īasically, I think careful party arrangement isn't necessary. I gear for max performance in DPS and healing, with some HP and prot for the tank (due mostly to the crazy KS trinkets out there.) Resists are nice and I may really do resist for the final dungeon.but I wasn't that bothered by the damage in Champion, and haven't felt the need to really tailor to the dungeon going after yet. Keeps it nice and simple, with the occasional awkward stress building fight if you have corpses turned on.

I generally make due because I don't rely on Rank 4 attacks for anything except the Arbalest and Plague Bearer and both of them get, like, cameos compared to the work horses of DPS (GR, Helion, BH, HM and Hound Master to a lesser degree, AB.) They all attack Rank 3 or deeper so it all pretty much works.
