Just imagine they use the default DOL defense system and guard does absolutely nothing. Also seems unlikely they'd copy uthgard's snare system, so snares will be 40% not 60%. Eld has no RR5 for escape, no PD, no BoF, bard has no SoS, and old school prevent flight makes peeling a tank very hard. Warden has no usable heals except the baselines, and can't even cure disease. I think req setup would likely be very weak.
In hib I would say something like Bard, 3 druid, 4 tanks (heros/BMs) would do best. Maybe add like a mana eld, or mana chanter, but I see the expected lifespan of a caster in a setup like that being very short.
I don't see why playing a realm the guild doesn't already have setup on uthgard is a bad thing, seems like a plus to me.
and don't underestimate the 3 healer, 3 DPS setup. It was the cookie cutter setup on mid during SI days pretty much up until NF came out, and for good reason.
