Druid/Rogue Duo in the 50s?
 

Hey guys!

So my boyfriend and I have been playing together with my Druid and his Rogue (we're both Level 53 now) and I was just curious if anyone else has played with this combo.

The technique we've been using is that I will use my Epic DOT on the mob, DOT it again with my Drones clicky and then spam Snare on it to keep it aggro'd on me. Then I will run away from it while the rogue stabs it from behind.

It seems a little unconventional lol. Curious if there might be other techniques but this seems to be the best for Druid/Rogue duo. The only other idea would be if we were fighting animals I could Fear them.

Let me know what you guys think :D

Any combo works. It’s obviously not going to get you max xp per hr but if you guys have fun just keep at it.

while you should use Flame Lick instead of Snare or Ensnare, it's a good idea and it's great to see people gettin' creative with the most powerful class in everquest, the druid. :o

in the right zone, such as WW, it could be very very good exp if you combined a charmed bront or mammoth with the rogue's dps while you kite. could also be decent money if you killed burrowers instead. probably not both at the same time tho.

Hey Elanya! Very limited options here, but definitely anything to do with animals. Druid animal fear is the most efficient fear is the game. Not sure if you’re too low for westwastes yet, but that will be your main focus. Snare fear and dot them up with rogue going at it. Once all the animals are replaced by non animals just Aggro kite the other stuff until animals respawn again. Can even play around with a charmed pet eventually for faster kills.

Yup, definitely use Flame Lick. One of the best aggro spells in town. Sounds like a fun range of possibilities.

Fear will get you better dot DPS than snare, but you trade off reliable aggro on you.

Fear is a stun for aggro purposes, equivalent to a snare really, and affords the caster the chance to meditate more easily for a couple of ticks. The rogue also has a weak fear button he can use to mitigate early fear fades and as previously mentioned the dots will do more damage.

Good news for druid/rogue combo is that quite a few classes can be added for a more effective trio. Paladin, monk, ranger, bard, necro, mage all would add value. Sk/warrior/shaman would also help but not as valuable to druid/rogue

Its a super fun combo, use flame lick to hold agro too, you can just snare/flame lilck mobs and let your rogue do all the damage and youll never run out of mana and can keep doing it like a machine :)

Just throw flame lick into the mix and you're good :)

Hey guys, thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to use Flame Lick, not sure why I always forget about that one :D

I'm torn about Western Wastes. I think we might still be too low for it at this point. I'm also worried because it seems like those Velious mobs have a lot more hit points than what we're currently doing in City of Mist. Will it really be faster XP if they have so much more health?
