Hey everyone. Recently my son and I have started playing together on the server. Obviously, we're going to be grouping together 99% of the time. We're wondering what would be the best duo in terms of leveling speed. Any suggestions?

Enchanter // Shaman

Works well in duo and you guys can also solo on your own time. Will allow both players to duo and solo to gain exp or farm camps for dat PP.

Bard/bard. Or maybe some kind of good crowd puller (say, wizard) / bard. In terms of EXP per hour nothing beats AoE kiting.

I second enchanter/shaman, and invite clerics when you can for a wicked trio.

If you go troll shaman and pick Innoruuk, the clicky snare necklace (http://wiki.project1999.com/Regent_Symbol_of_Innoruuk) will let you easily fear kite and you can get it by level 12 or 14 as a duo.

If a bard and wizard can work together effectively that would be tops.

Enchanter shaman is a kind of poor combo imo longer term. It might be faster for leveling, but there's more efficient combos, for everything else.

The caveat here being that the clicky doesn't work until lvl 15, and you need help to get it even at lvl 15. The second symbol quest requires that you take down a lvl 19 in neriak. The level 19 is easy enough to take down just be asking someone in neriak for a favor.

The third symbol, however, requires that you take down a lvl 28 paladin in steamfont mountains. He uses lay on hands and can heal himself a little as well.

That clicky snare neck is only 6 ticks of snare, with a long cast time... not saying its useless, but very situational :p

If you need help with your Inny Symbol, just look for Mrtwig and he'll be there!

People are only telling you Monk/Shaman because they're unskilled players who exploit the strongest combo that is the easiest to play. Swish

Enchanter/Enchanter, Enchanter/Necro for absolute fastest XP

lol what am I being called out over? Knocking a 6 tick snare necklace?

Enchanter/cleric is super quick and super safe. If you trust each other and don't afk much, go to town and buff the enchanter pet with haste, HP/AC, etc and let it do its thing. With complete heal later they're a great combo, and if the cleric happens to be a dark elf you can still get your snare clicky fix if you need it.

I personally love my clicky snare neck and use it all the time lol. That said my main is Shaman and 99% of the time I'm duo with a Monk friend of mine and it's probably the best all around duo I've ever done. Enc/Enc and Enc/Clr are better situationally but Monk/Shaman is just amazingly powerful in nearly every situation. Personally I wouldn't want to duo anything with a Bard unless you plan on swarm kiting with an AoE class or something. Bard exp penalty is god awful.

Bad exp is bad bc bards are so good :cool:

yeah I'd need to go with enc/enc, for leveling and end-game. Then second I'd say with a clr, as it's also a strong class for end-game combat. You'll see those two classes winning solo/duo competitions most often. But anyway, leveling, the slowest class to level is the one that interests you the least.

The best duo in terms of leveling speed. I assume everything else will be average. Time and shift. If you change your first statement the duo classes will change. If you really want to be a troll ask what's better SK or Pally. That being said there are some definite NOs. My first choice is SK and shammy. A fun one is ranger/wiz. I assume you want Tye fastest duo in terms of leveling speed. DONT DIE. BL and berserker are not in game yet. Do you want 60 asap and to get there before Velious? There will be lots of good combos out there...fun and steady throughout 1-60. A monk/druid can be fast too but look at some of the needs end game of Velious. Do you know someone in game that will help out with a starter set of armor and weapons? DPS will be key to speed you level also some of the class experience penalties...overall the iksar SK/shamwow is my first choice. Forage, put a point in sense heading, turn in your note. Do quests to get a container or 2.....sense heading forage head to FoB. Sense heading and forage...do your quests...sense heading forage. SK and Shaman both get a quest around 20 for decent armors that will require banded.

Ench/Cleric by far.

There's tons of such posts. Try using your favorite search engine to look up the following string:

site:project1999.com/forums best duo (https://www.google.com/?hl=en#hl=en&q=site:project1999.com%2Fforums+best+duo)

Replace the smiling face with a colon followed by a letter "p".

Whatever information has already been given dozens of times is still valid, and it should help you get more complete picture.

It really depends on what you want your play style to look like.

Some class with aoe spells with a Bard (Bard/Bard, Bard/Wiz, Bard/Druid, etc) is going to give you break-neck leveling speed, especially when the Bard hits 18.

But, you will suffer a huge lack of skill-ups, and the Bard will be running in circles with their sanity teetering and the other player will be bored out of their mind.

If I was playing with someone and wanted to level fast while having fun, I would go Shaman/Monk. Great melee with incredible buff/debuffs. You can conquer most dungeons in the game together, and each class is very powerful on its own.

If I wanted to be dominant 49+, and farm some of the toughest camps in the game, I would do Enchanter/Cleric.

It is really up to you.

The question was what is the fastest leveling duo. The answer is 2 bards. Nothing else could even come close. Especially monk/shaman rofl what a joke.

I like the idea of shaman/necro. or druid/necro... but then I love necro and fear kite with all classes :)

Had a great time on live with necro/enchanter

Maybe? But nobody in their right mind would actually want to play that crap. Bard/Wiz would probably be faster and significantly less boring. But honestly aoe kiting is boring as shit all around. I excluded bard combos from my suggestions purposely for that reason.

I would say shaman and a melee with some DPS for long term, maybe a monk? can do a lot with some slows and heals on a class that can solo pull and put out some dps
