Party composition? (character creation choices)

[KingOfFriedChicken]

In character creation im about to make a 5th character soon and i was thinking obviously 2 of each class for the sub classes i assume this is what is mostly done but anyone else think that may not be needed? should i do 3 of a class and only have 1 of like an archer for example?

Just looking for more experienced players thoughts or others players who have done this even. i assume at some point more might become available but i dont know.

As of now i have 1 wizard dedicated to cutting logs and some afk farming as a backup but stats are in log chopin mostly,
A miner (warrior)
a ranger (who is mostly for forging but afks mobs) cuz i figured best to have 1 of each minimum.
and a mob farming warrior

Also what are thoughts on unlocking the journeyman class? it doesn't specialize but raises with luck so that seems interesting.

You get a family bonus for each specialization, but if you have two of the same toon, the family bonuses don't stack (you just get the highest one), so it does seem ideal to get all seven classes/sub-classes.

In addition to what roccandil said, when world 3 comes out you are definitely going to want those other subclasses leveled up to use their specialized skills, so you are better off getting them now and leveling them up before the update.

Good to know i figured that was best but never hurts to ask.

You should definitely get Journeyman class for the family bonus & star talent skill it provides plus, it will also have the added benefit of not having a "redundant" family skill bonus not being used from having an extra warrior/mage/archer.

Also it isn't a bad idea to get the sub-classes with the unimplemented skills since you can just swap out the sub-class if the skills when are finally added in are not as great for the character as the other classes might be,

This also works in reverse so it is basically a win-win at the moment & the only thing to really worry about is if the sub-class is something you think would help you out more at the moment than the other.
