With time on my deployment winding down from all the freedoms Ive resently defended, <2 weeks left as I type, a lot of cash for a new computer + new multibox setup + new game, I turn my attention to EQ2 after a long sabbatical. Seems all are pretty much anti stacker when you've all built your groups. Ive enjoyed boxing same type hybrids classes, that play well together or healer/dps pet classes. In eq2's case, seems the best fit would be multiple paladins setup with the right macros, group healing and main tank warding seems like a very doable option. I haven't played the game very high, or read enough knowledge to confirm or deny how well this could work out in the heat of swinging swords to down mobs in-game. I would think that a single hybrid type class would only possess a fraction of the healing potential of that or a healer type class when compared on a 1:1 ratio. Yes, maybe true, but enough of them in the same group might pull off numbers that far surpass a single healer in that spot, while at the same time being able to crush some numbers DPS wise as well.

Could anyone give me advice how this could work out? Leveling and near end game?
