Ok, I'm starting up next week with my old friend from Rodcet Nife server years ago. We both have had high level toons, him, necro, ranger, sk, and myself wizard, monk... I've enjoyed it all, and really enjoyed being an iksar. That being said, looking to level from first kill all the way up together, and were hoping to do so in a reasonable way. I think from what I've gathered we're down to two main options we'd like to pursue....

Him iksar sham/ me iksar monk
(yes I'd be rolling another one but hey it's a strong combo for the era)
Him DE Mage / me DE Necro
Of the two, I think Shaman/Monk is going to be stronger come Velious. Both are pretty strong now, though. One thing you may want to consider is that if one of you plays a melee class, you won't be able to easily bind/gate when and where you please, so some dungeons will be a little less appealing. For example, Howling Stones is awesome for a Monk/Shaman duo, but without a way to get the Monk out it's a non-starter. The Worker Sledgemallet can be quested and works at level 50, but as an Iksar it'll require the use of someone's Puppet Strings.

we've kicked around a few others but he's unwilling to go Bard/Bard for serious dot kiting/swarm kiting action because he also refuses to twist... And while we both like the idea of porting, he doesn't want to roll a druid or wizzy, and i'm not so keen on the wizard again, though most of my experience there was solo and thus boring...
Porting is not that important a factor in choosing a class for me. It's usually not that hard to commission one of the thousands of Druids on this server for a port/evac when you need it.

Also, although you only asked about two specific combos, you could switch the classes around a little and end up with some other great duos:

Shaman/Mage
Shaman/Necro

Lots of good choices here for you, it's hard to go wrong. Welcome, and enjoy! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
