For new toon set ups before any substitution ability I have used a variation on this and wanted to ask if you see any difference. There are practical considerations that come into play if on a low gem budget and don't want to spend a lot of time developing extraneous gear (e.g. 4th swords/ or 3rd staffs).
I gravitate initially toward a 3 morale attacker and 2 magic caster/healers (e.g. 3 swords and 2 staffs) basic core setup for PvP and regular play. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the limited Black Smith Q (only 2-3 deep Q) to develop a 4th sword right away. Again - on a low gem budget. I don't do speed ups except to set up Black Smith to sequence the cool-downs to complete while I sleep. So, I will often substitute another MAGE damage dealer in place of where you have Cianna.
So my generic formation for world events becomes:
x x x
Calvin DDm Main
x DD Shayd
*Where DDm is best DamageDealer Mage (not Shayd - e.g. Hypatia or Mehvidan depending on how the natural sainting works out on magic attack bonuses)
** DD is always a moral based damage dealer and usually Lance De Luc or BloodStorm
I have not found Cianna to be reliable enough since the nerfs.
Any Thoughts about equivalence?
