two
First Post
This is my claim. The most versatile, most powerful 5 PC party must include the following two classes:
Tactical Warlord
Inspirational Warlord.
With these two as a base, you can then stir in 3 more classes as you see fit.
The 3.5 parallel is the cleric. While not many parties had more than one cleric, if they did, they could be scary powerful. In 3.5 you might start out with:
Buff cleric (buffs self to combat, buffs others)
Heal cleric (massive healing and ranged spells)
And stir in 3 more classes. (ignore more than 2 clerics, which is however even more optimal in 3.5).
In 4, the TacWarlord + InspWarlord gives you staying power, healing, best buffs in the game, defense, damage... and synergies like crazy almost everywhere.
That's my claim.
The question is, am I really stupid?
