If you are planning on some team effort I'd clearly go for a "themed" team which can be anything from ridiculously strong to hilariously weak (which can be even more fun).
Suggestion List (all tested and rated A+ on the fun ranking)
The Ancients (party of 3 Barbarians, resembeling our most beloved HC challenge: Korlic [Pole leaper] Madawc [Double Thrower] Talic [Sword/Shield Whirlwinder] )
Night of the walking Dead (Necro's only, one cursing, rest mucho skeletons, mages and revives plus some auxilary skills...biggest team we managed without major lag issues was 5 [imagine landing ~4 x 45 minions at any swarmed wp or tp, funny but lots of invisibility moments])
Disco Boys (Paladins only, auras chosen primarily for looks: Salvation (Rainbow Boy), Redemption (Smoke FX Boy), Holy Fire (Pyro FX Boy), Sanctuary (Starlight Boy), Holy Freeze (Cryo FX Boy), Holy Shock (Electic FX Boy), Conviction (Radiactive Boy) and Concentration (Dancefloor Lighting Boy) extra style points are awarded for using paladins non melee offensive potential
He-Man and Friends (anyone remember them?) He-Man (obviously the usual barbarian poser, needs a blond wig though) She-Ra his female companion (melee Amazon) Man at Arms (support Paladin) Skeletor (turned to the good side, Necro with bone helmet)
probably more, but i cannot remember the names nor what they were like...
Cookie cutter Artillery Battle Squad (One Amazon supported by her little helpers; only goal: maximizing damage output and safety of the amazon [need to stay away from uber damage bows as this makes the rest of the team pretty much pointless] Concentration Paladin, Might Paladin, Fanaticism Paladin, Conviction Paladin, Amp Damage Necro, HoW Druid
(Hint: create the Amazon on an independant account so everyone in the party can take the role of the gunner from time to time)
Wasnt she-ra he mans sister?
:huh:
