if so, whats the best staff aoe formation? i'm clueless

also, what is the best type of formation for a staff? (DoT, AOE, Spike, Stun, Snipe)

There is no best formation. Try coming up with your own formation, then it can get tweaked and stuff.

LK has really little utility besides tanking.

:exo::spt::vik:
:can::jan::malehero:
:ele::mnk::inv:

Elementalist to add to your mains AoE, and shut melee mercs up. Switched around positioning so not all of your ranged are covered in 1 warcry.

ok ty, but wouldnt be smart to have the 3 ranged merc's in 1 row for brutal will?

[bankai]

No, cause then War Cry will cancel that out (as far as I know) anyway.

oh ok thank you, and a question in a formation like this

:spt::malehero::vik:(to be Nvik then Druid)
:can::inv::mnk:
:exo::mnk::ele:

would my main have to sit there and heal himself the whole time or would the monks heal him enough so he could actually attack?

on any note would my staffM have to constantly heal if there's no oracle/shaman?

No you would not have to constantly heal. Mana shield + SoP + protect + the fact you have uber mdef means you can tank decently. HOWEVER, you have to know when to move back. AND you have to be able to sense a spike coming. mana seal + spike x4 on main(4 atks, so 2 atks from 2 mercs, 1 atk from a merc + 2 atks from another merc + 1 atk from another merc, or some variation) = dead staff main or near dead. Especially if you get spiked by say, pirate atk x2, and spartan atk x2. Then your dead. Only reason staff main can tank is cuz of passives.
