Cipher (PC) - ranged DPS

Aloth - Ranged DPS

Pallegina - main tank

Zahuna - secondary tank

Durance - secondary tank/party defense

Hiravias - 2nd line dps/secondary heal

 

Obviously I like them all. Who do you think would be the easiest to drop out?

 

Hiravias prob. Druids and Wizards have some nice CC but they can overlap. But i would personally drop durance and just rework your party and go for the extra strategy layer without all those priest prayers

I am looking at the list, and there are only 6 members already.

He has one additional rogue who's currently under the effect of Shadowing Beyond.

wow that was a derp moment by me  . oops. Ye i meant to say go with 5 to prepare for deadfire ye thats it

Lol I dropped Kana by accident. Guess my subconsciousness is trying to tell me something. Think it could be right?

In terms of overall power you should drop Pallegina and use Kana as tank, together with Durance, Zahua and Hiravias as offtanks (give Zahua and Hiravias both Veteran's Recovery).

Zahua, because monk.

Because you generally don't like monks?

Of course  Boeroer,  who like monks?

Tbh I've never managed to turn a chanter into an actual tank. I don't know how people do it - he always runs out of HP by the end of the second encounter after a rest.

Potions of Infuse with Vital Esssence work with healing bonuses. So does Wound Binding.

 

If you don't want to do that: If you use several "offtanks" you don't need a supertough main tank (if you want to name it like that).

 

A chanter as only tank is not working very well in the early game. But in a formation of three he's good enough.
