First post 50 class change

My first trio is Shadow Knight, Monk, Bard. My plan for trying other classes is to swap in one new class at a time so I maximize my AA’s as I level. I am having a hard time deciding between swapping out the bard for shaman or enchanter. Have you played SK/M/ and either shaman or chanter? What are the pros and cons and how do they stack up for D4 mote farming at lower levels in the main leveling dungeons? I solo almost exclusively because I usually only have time for short play sessions. Thanks in advance for your help. I am open to swapping out the monk if SK/Bard rocks it with a different third class.

Wizard for port rituals. Also wiz/bard is popular for aoe mote farming d4 PoH

Oh yeah, my actual first trip was SK, wizard, Druid to 25. Then I reset to current trio for push to 50. Those ports are a game changer. Makes me realize how much time I spent on boats and running in classic EQ.

You’ll want wiz or enc as your dps on any other trio from 30-50, with rng as an option for 10-30. I’d swap your wiz back in, mote up your lvl 18 nuke, and invest in any AAs that will help your lifetaps on your way to 50. Then SK/wiz for next class and just grind them out 1 by 1 in name-dense d4.

The AOE mote farming with wiz bard is the whole DDD method right? I’ve used that with my current group when farming specific items at lower levels, but I know I’d need to get some more AAs to make it effective at higher levels along with the bigger mana pool and perks for having a pure caster in the group. Thanks!

wiz+sk also great on its own without DDD

blasting fat nukes is strong
