Why the bosses are made to five players if Tibia has 4 vocations?

Question

Spending time in a conversation with my Tibian friends I don't know how we get this dilemma, why all bosses (except the last ones) from quest are to 5 players if Tibia has only 4 vocations?

Answer 1

This may not answer your question but 5 players in a party is a very ordinary team set-up found in most MMOs. It gives room for 1 tank, 1 healer and 3 damage dealers (dps). And even if there's only 4 vocations, some vocations can fill several roles in the party.

I can't answer as to why this is the magic number - but I assume it has a lot to do with balancing the bosses. Also, since there's more damage dealers than tanks or healers it also makes sense for there to be additional spots for that role.

Answer 2

Good question. Who knows what CipSoft meant. But in my opinion it's good that there are five places, if there were 4 places and for each profession there would be a problem with killing bosses. Now  it's easier to kill with five people :)
