A friend of mine and I use a Mag/Dru Combo, get a quad going like normal, toss out a few AE's for agro, let the pet do the rest.

Deejay, why do you only use the level 18 dot? The level 2 aoe dot stacks, and you can almost cut your kiting time in half if you twist it in. Same with the level 49 (?) aoe dot - it overwrites the level 2, but stacks with the level 18 aoe. I can do over 100 damage per tick to unlimited mobs around me if I twist the two.

Not sure about the level 59 and 60 aoe dots and how the stack yet.

mage/necro

was a great combo we leveled from 1 to 70 together.

Also, how do you even run in a tight-enough circle past lvl 35 that your dots are actually landing without you being hit? I've never been able to get that to work as well as it did in the mid-20's.

EDIT: However, in the right place a bard and a rogue/monk/ranger can make a great solo-kiting duo. Bard snares and walks in circles while the melee obliterates the mob.

Whats the range on the 48 dot? (answered: 30, the same as L2 chords). To me, the added risk of coming 5 units closer to mobs does not outweigh the rewards of faster kills. If you can pull it off, more power to ya!
