With a druid?

Tox · #1 05-19-2015, 01:48 PM

So me and my buddy started fresh here on p99, he's made a druid and I've made an enchanter due to previous forum posts, however this class is really not my cup of tea, can anyone suggest other classes good with druids 1-60, thanks!

I'd personally choose a Tank / Melee (good aligned - so Paladin over SK) because during low to mid levels, Druids can keep pace with Clerics in the healing stakes; plus the godly Snare, Damage Shields [Monks will LOVE you], and SOW.

Why not just go the Holly Grail and do Shaman, Monk. Probably the best duo in the game along with Enchanter, Cleric in my opinion. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Both combos are the best in the game. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Cause he's a Druid, and we are looking into making that work.

Necro is decent to duo with druid. They can already solo just fine. Druid just makes them better at it.

Wizard might be decent. You could quad kite stuff together but it probably wouldn't be that much faster than soloing.

Rogue is also a good partner for druid. Druid holds aggro with Flame Lick/Snare and rogue does lots of DPS. Rogue can Instill Doubt and Druid can Panic Animal if you want to fear kite stuff.

Druids pair well with any DPS class really. Avoid tanks because you won't have the damage output to kill stuff, and Druid heals fall off hard later on.

I'm a bit late here, but what about Mage? Druid heals and snare compliment mage's pet and nukes pretty well.

Like I told your friend in the other thread, don't play a druid - especially if you're looking to duo.

You should now play a shaman and either solo or find a monk to duo to 60 with in a few days and farm any cash camp.

Ella always hates on druids.

"in a few days" lol

these are their first chars on the server and shm/mnk being a good duo is fairly dependent on gear, also there's nothing wrong with druids as long as you aren't raiding

In a Druid/X duo where X is a melee, most the time the melee will end up wishing the Druid was a Shaman while the Druid could make faster experience quadding. A Druid can be made to work with a melee, just as most other non-optimal duo's can be made to work (my traditional duo was Paladin/Cleric, so I know!), but if you choose that option go into it knowing you're electing hard mode in a game where even easymode is still pretty unforgiving.

Choosing a second caster to pair with the Druid likely represents a safer choice. It's cheaper, too, usually, due to lower gear dependence. Enchanter works best, but if you don't want to be an Enchanter then the Necromancer, as suggested by nyclin, will also give adequate service. Most any other offensive casting type could be made to work tolerably well. Casters also ensure both players in the duo have the option to solo effectively in the event the other doesn't log on.
