best to duo with a necro

[bakkily]

heya currently im a shm at lvl 20, but figure i may start another alt

with a necro, whats best magic class to duo with? chanter, mage, wizard, druid?

[karsten]

personally i'd go with paladin

[Brut]

Another necro. Or more preferebly, shaman.

[Jete]

Bard.

Hands down the best, my favorite partner is a necro. Imagine this...

Bard kites ( snare / dots ) necro sicks pet and heals bard... so pro its sad.

Bard has to be pretty decent of a player though.

[bakkily]

currently i am a 20 shaman, wanna get a class figure this aint gonna happen till at least 10, can snare, and both of us do enough dps to kill fast, not planning on doing it with my shaman, figure thisll be my main and just do groups, other is to have fun with the family

[bakkily]

ok after talking to peeps in game, think im gonna do another necro with necro, and gotta figure out if my brother wants to play, cuz then a necro/necro/enchatner

hoping 3 accounts at same ip is allowed, mmos are big thing in the fam here

[nicemace]

necro mage or shaman, all good choices.

shaman or mage would be my choice.

once ya get into kunark n shit, shaman means you can do dungeon shit and dont need room to kite/fear kite.

[Zordana]

Another necro. Or more preferebly, shaman.

Shaman worked great with my necro on the Combine. Lich + Regen! :)

I smell an angry enchanter coming.

Dots dots more dots...

Mezz... broken by a DoT tick.

Mezz another... broken by a DoT tick.

:D

I'm sure you guys will be fine once you get playing together sorted out.

[karsten]

should probly duo with a paladin


jus sayin

[Byokii]

My EQ Live main was a necro for a long time. I Preferred Mages...
Reason beeing, if you are going to kite they are your best friend. Summoned pet toys, another pet, nukes... Necros don't need regen! They have lifetap...

[Noraa3903]

Shaman hands down is the best partner for a necro. Massive dots. At later levels they both have pets which makes fear kiting a breeze. Can heal regen canni their mana so you dont have too much downtime. Buff the crap out of both pets and just go to work. I think those two classes were designed to duo with one another. I dont think there is any duo more efficient than the shaman and necro. Not sure what dots stack on this server but its easy enough for teh shaman to use their poison and disease while the necro uses darkness boil blood and leech line. More than enough to handle just about anything that is snareable. No better duo in the game

[Kerrik]

I also have to say shaman. The Shaman is kind of the "BASF" of Everquest. They don't make the group, they make it better, whether it be a full group or a duo with pretty much any other class.

Necros bring great DPS, Snares and pets. Shaman bring debuffs (resist debuffs and slows,) buffs, Healing, DPS (DoTs/Nukes) and SoW to the pair. Both have their own mana regen methods, so they don't need to go begging for caster crack (heck I used to take over for healing from OOM clerics who had KEI while I was only self-buffed on my old Shaman main characters.)

[km2783]

if you continue with the trio, a shaman, necro, and chanter would be pretty disgusting. Another DoT to throw on top, Clarity, slows, speed/melee buffs for the pets, wis/int buffs for the casters, CC any adds.

Oh, yes.

[Tallenn]

duh, a skeleton pet

[Jete]

Guys... really no other Bard fans?

Bard = no mana aoe fear, no mana snare, no mana dots, manasong, no mana mez, charm, ressists, selos...

Not to mention bard regen songs more than keep up with necro illusions.

What my friend and I do is mostly just snare kite, and have the bard keep the aggro. Takes 0 mana and you can do it all day. ( even indoors ) Another thing you can do is double charm in LGuk, just have the necro spot heal and the bard play regen songs in-between charm breaks.

[km2783]

never duo'd with a necro back in the day, but from what I know of the songs, a Bard would certainly not be a BAD partner, that's for sure.

[Thac0]

Shammy is the best bet. And come Kunark it would a down right OP combo as if it wasn't already in classic.
