So what's your grinding party preferance?
Me, as a cleric would prefer a tank fighter but I rarely get that so a DD tank that is willing to ONLY tank and hold aggro. Two mages for maximum killing effieciency. And an archer who--which I found out can lure in very good mobs--would lure in mobs well and drop them off for us to kill, but also helps in the killing.
So to sum it up
One cleric to heal--me--I prefer to be a lone cleric in a party
One fighter tanker---any who is willing to tank
Two mages--for maximum killing effieciency
And an archer---who lures in mobs(Very well actualy), drops them off and helps in killing it.
Optional--Duo
My duo preferance...It would come down to an archer.
With an archer, he kites. Now the structure in healing a kiting archer is odd but it works.
He would kite a HUGE mob while running and I'd have to run and heal him at a reasonable range from him. Although I need to heal at right moments because by healing to much I risk having mobs on my tail to.

My ideal grinding party:
One 60+ cleric/fighter to pull mobs,
Another cleric to heal (usually me),
One 60+ mage w/ Nova and Inferno,
Two additional party members of any class.
My ideal duo party:
One cleric (me again XD) and an archer.
I do the pretty much the same as you do. I put him on follow and heal him as he kites. Works out nicely, actually. Huge mobs can get a bit tricky with aggro though.

Five archers.
Then I let the other four die and invite 2 clerics, 1 fighter and one mage.
Duo: Someone with a sense of humor....or a cleric.
Peace:cool:

I personally like to party with anyone who takes part in the killing of the mobs rather than the following and afk'ing in shroom type of player.

Usually, I'm just glad to be a part of a party, and I'm happy with what I have. :D
But I love it even more when I have these types of party:
In a full party:
Two Clerics:
Because it's nice to have help. I lag a lot, so having another Cleric to heal me is awesome!
One Mage:
Gotta love that beautiful nova!
One Archer:
Preferably one who kites-but he/she doesn't have to. Either way, the damage is great!
And "kite-healing" makes my job so much more fun. Lol.
One Figther:
Either a Tanker or a DD fighter, gotta love that stun and strength!
I love to duo with each class, except Clerics...because I'm already one.

Me and 2 mages (AoE ftw) + a cleric that heals and does not attack+ a warrior that knows how to make the party live by casting mock at the right time and place and situation.
There was once a cleric that said tha t he was wasting his sp in healing and would rezz instead. Lolz. he's a joke.

I prefer solo-ing, but as im a tank, i need some damage to quicker the grinding.
So my ideal party would me:
1 tank (me)
1 full INT/SPR mage (for damage)
...that's it =)

Full party:
3 DD's (Archers or Mages)
1 Fighter (or battle cleric)
1 Full support Clerc (me)
Duo:
The best duo for me was with a Tank/DD Archer, he was able to tank(had over 4k HP fully buffed/scrolled at lvl 49) without sacrificing his damage output.

I will admit, I am odd.
Party preference (for cleric; normal)
Maybe one other cleric who knows how to heal with the DDer we have (usually a mage).
More mages if the DDer is a mage, more archers if the DDer is an archer.
The other DD class.
Never a fighter - even the DD fighters aren't efficient enough to me.
Party preference (cleric; Honeying)
0-1 other clerics
2-4 archers/mages
1 fighter
Duo
Mage or Mist/Piercing capable archer.
Never a fighter. If I can't tank the mob we've pulled, a fighter would only delay the inevitable. And, a fighter's mobs are always smaller than the mage's I run with, and an archer...well, I don't think I need to say much there.
Party preference (for archer; normal)
No fighters - they slow me down and stop me from kiting (yes, Deva can be annoying at times). Before level 51, I don't mind them as much, but I still prefer none.
1-2 clerics who know how to heal a kiting/mobbing archer.
The rest mages/other archers.
Party preference (archer; Honeying)
1-2 clerics
2 fighters
Rest mages/archers
Duo
Cleric who...yeah.
Other archer (if level 51+)
Either mage or archer (if <51)
Fighter only if less than lvl 51.
Party preference (for mage; normal)
1-2 Clerics. Always, always preferred for a glass cannon.
1-2 Archers. Usually, an archer can mob with a mage rather well.
1-2 Mages. Half the time, though, the cleric has to heal them, so they're low on my list.
0-1 fighters. My mage hasn't passed level 42, and simply won't pass level 50, so fighters are still acceptable for her.
Party preference (mage; Honeying)
2 clerics
2 fighters
1 archer/mage
Duo
Cleric
Mage/Archer
Fighter
Party preference (for fighter; normal)
1 other fighter who knows how to time Stuns/Devas.
1-2 clerics.
1-2 mages.
1-2 archers. Fighters and archers simply require different styles of play, so this is the one class in which I don't want them in my party overly much.
Party preference (fighter; Honeying)
2 clerics
Don't care about the rest
Duo
Fighter who knows how to time Stuns/Devas.
Cleric
Mage
Archer if we are 51 or less, otherwise, I will not hold an archer back like that.

One cleric to heal--me--I prefer to be a lone cleric in a party. Agreed
One fighter tanker---any who is willing to tank. Meh, I can have another cleric/me/ an archer tank, but I like fighters the best
Two mages--for maximum killing effieciency Agreed
And an archer---who lures in mobs(Very well actualy), drops them off and helps in killing it. Agreed
Optional--Duo
My duo preferance...It would come down to an archer. And agreed
Bolded what I think.

I'm a cleric and I mostly duo with a dd fighter and it ain't easy keeping him alive! :eek:
Duo'ing with archers is fun! Put on follow and heal on the run. (Oh the mats!) :D
In a full party: another cleric (who knows when to heal and when to fight); tank; dd fighter; archer. (I solo alot so I'm used to sloooow killing).
But, I hate when party is on free alloc and other ppl grab all the goodies and cleric gets nuttin.:(
