Funny playthrough

[Phyriel]

Hi guys. So i finished my first complete playthrough on potd with a custom party like a week ago. I played an "optimal" party with min-max approach so I managed to learn a game fairly well, sure I'm not an expert yet but I think I'm fairly experienced now. I was thinking about taking a break and coming back to solo potd ironman but I dismissed that idea now as it appears to be quite boring actually (I started and got around to lvl 6) as I didn't find it fun to cheese / abuse scrolls as a valid way to get that crowning achievement. I'm not yet quite fed with PoE tho and I'm thinking about trying PoE again with like some super weird party. I already tried warrior+druid + 4 rangers but its not as fun as I thought it would be so now I'm leaning toward some kind of "circle of nine" from greyhawk universe and make a party of all casters, like 6 wizards or 5 wizards + cipher. I deffo see challenge in that in a way that this party will have some roadblocks and require extreme micro from time to time but my thinking is that it would be really flashy and rewarding to play a party like that. What you think? Is it possible to beat all content on potd with that? I mean wizards can be built for tank and got this aoe spear spell that turns them into super tanky barbarian so I guess it would still be extremely flexible party that could find its way to contest even hardest fights. What you think?

Sure, why not? Six apprentice party, each having a unique style sounds quite fun. Something like: Llengrath tank, Citzal melee dps, Ryngrim melee offtank, Kalakoth ranged wand/frost specialist, Minnoleta (max might / avg int) ranged piercer and your MC. The amount of CC is insane, although it might take some time to optimize the damage/resting thing.
