The Albion Tank group set ups rvr

Im just looking Albion tank group set ups and opinions ideas.

Cleric.
Cleric
Sorcerer
Minstrel
Friar/Pally/Thergist
Armsmen/reaver/Merc
Mercenary
Mercenary

I'm currently playing a Friar with idea spec 34 heals 45 buff 34 staff and playing around its a Beta.

But more i look it the Pally would add more to a group then a Friar .

Group damage add/Endo/ slam/ Af buff/ choice weps. Higher survivability. Better 14 point realm ability 100% instant group heal.
Group heal as good as first 4 secound cast hot heal on Friar.

Can't heal or cure like the Friar when rooted. And no base buffs.

Thergist has nice buffs intrupt pets pbt .

What's everyone views on Albion tank groups.

I would like play tank in Albion when go live im probably leaning towards a Armsmen as I played Mercenary for 6 years before as my first ever character.

And I done cabby before you all say make a caster group.

I would say Pally would add more then Friar, but Merc/Armsman/Reaver/insertanyclasshere adds more then most Paladins/Friars as well.

I really wish they would so something to make these other classes more sought after in RvR.

It is beta though so I am crossing my fingers =)

Given the current status of classes, buff pots, and endo5 via LW1+Tireless1+blue endo pot, here's my ideal Alb group... which isn't as fun, but I think best possible performance:
Cleric
Cleric
Minstrel
Sorcerer
Theurgist (could argue Cabalist if Theurgist pets die instantly here to AoE, I'm not sure of their current state)
Armsman
Mercenary
Mercenary

With Alb you're basically locked into four of the classes, five if endo changes. A group of people who play together can make other setups work, but the above group has the highest floor.

Lower floor, higher ceiling(?) would maybe be:
Cleric
Friar/Cleric
Sorcerer
Minstrel
Theurgist
Cabalist
Mercenary/Armsman
Mercenary/Reaver

What I'd love to try;
Cleric
Friar/Cleric
Sorcerer/Theurgist (the most baller wind Theurgist)
Minstrel
Necromancer (armor debuff, STR/CON debuff, and snare for melee)
Mercenary/Reaver/Armsman
Mercenary
Mercenary

I'm a Reaver at heart since SI launch! Hybrid life!

But seriously, if we limited to a single caster, then this is a setup I enjoyed back in the day, granted post-ToA... and removing the Paladin given the current Phoenix ruleset compared to back then.

Cleric
Minstrel
Sorcerer (Wind Theurgist if balling out, of course!)
Reaver (I told you!)
Armsman
