I only brought it up because it's a common complaint around here.Bear Shaman may be a better healer, but I feel Eagle Shaman is a better leader. This is a personal peeve, but I find healing to be overrated. One leader with two basic heals and an emergency heal, plus a back up emergency heal in the party is fine for the most part as far as I'm concerned. I don't like to focus on healing any more than that. Defenders of course should focus on their resilience as much as is needed, and other characters shouldn't ignore their defenses. It's a play style thing. I don't doubt others prefer different tactics.Having played fairly long term next to a bear shaman and a panther shaman, I found the bear shaman's abilities to be underwhelming in comparison. Panther shamans are good. The few Eagle Shamans I happened to sit at a table with rocked. Hence my observation on that front.To complete your 6-man party, of the options you provided, I'd likely go with the dwarf fighter. You can just about never go wrong with a fighter, and you can hardly ever go wrong with a dwarf. And in general I find defenders to be an important role for tactical positioning, so prefer experienced players to play the defender.I'd skip the bard if there is going to be another leader. And I find minotaurs to be disturbingly weak, though fighter is one of the better classes for them, as I said you can just about never go wrong with a fighter, so if I ever was going to play a minotaur, it would be a fighter. As a side note, if you prefer to play a charging fighter over the dwarf, I'd give warforged juggernaut a serious consideration.</blockquote>
