Hi

im new to AO and was wondering if my formation is good enough for a long run mostly PVE , i rarely PVP (just free league once ina big while)

:swm::vik::spm:
:art::malehero::art:
:mnk::arc::sha:

im lvl 50 by the way and im not very intrested in :bst: & :witc:
im willing to remove my archer and 1 artilerist,
and my dream team would be

:lak::vik::spm: or :spt: (if possible)
:can::malehero::inv: or :exo: (cuz hes cool)
:ora::mnk::jan:

but for now...
well im not up to the Stun, snipe or wht ever those formations are cuz i really have no idea how to use it ^^" , just wanna survive PVE and boss ^^

any advice would really be appriciated, Thanks.

Current

:swm::vik::spm:
:art::malehero::art:
:mnk::arc::sha:

1. remove 1 art for gunner. this will give you 1 more merc to hit flying mobs. and you only need 1 deep insight (which doesn't stack in terms of effects), and u already have deep insight from ur main anyway.
2. viking is the weakest frontliner relative to ur swordmen. and he's in the middle taking the brunt of hits. I'd rather you put him to one side.

Dream team

:lak::vik::spm: or :spt: (if possible)
:can::malehero::inv: or :exo: (cuz hes cool)
:ora::mnk::jan:

1. exo doesn't have a lot of use pve. he is more of a pvp merc. Mana seal is situational as there aren't a lot of staff-wielding monsters (but everyone in pvp has a staff merc), and mana burn? that one isn't too good. witch can do the job better (though I know u dun want her). inventor > exo in ur case.

2. Otherwise, the build is fine.

spartan-LK-N.vik
cannon-inventor-jani
oracle-monk-main

depending on ur preference, u can switch cannoneer and main positions for a seth will line. both can do.
