Yes, more options can mean more efficiency.

Yes, Mage duos are suboptimal. In a Mage/Enchanter duo, the Enchanter is doing the vast majority of the work. It is mostly the Enchanter who is killing for hours. There wouldn't be much difference in an Enchanter/Rogue duo. The problem with a 2 Mage duo is you are leveling mages, which most people don't want to do[You must be logged in to view images.

People don't run XP groups so they can figure out how to maximize DPS in an XP group. They run XP groups to gain XP on the class they want to play.

Rogues with Embalming Knife could duo OK. Just having a duo partner gives you a good spike in kill power. I never said a Rogue/Rogue duo would be better than Mage/Mage. I simply said any duo can succeed, which is true because just having a partner vastly increases what you can do vs. solo, especially on low utility classes like Rogue/Mage.

LOL @ your second paragraph

You're lieing to yourself at this point, just admit defeat. I'm just a much better debater than you, you're convincing nobody but yourself [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

An enchanter/rogue duo isn't even remotely close to what an enchanter/mage can do. Not even close, the rogue will just die so fast without heals. And you have to rely on procs to snare to maybe try to pull off some fear kiting shenanigans'. The mage will be giving the enchanter malo which they will greatly appreciate, not to mention a mage will be lettin nukes fly left & right and resummonin pets with endless c2 mana.

You're resorting to end game discussions again. Ew. We already established raiding is only a portion of the game, and most people are casual and not playing endgame.

Embalmers knife duo is laughable, lol, both rogues will be dead by the time you kill 1-2 KC mobs.

Sorry, rogues just aren't that great.
