Same ol Question

[Jitsumo]

Sup homies -

Me and a friend and looking to put in work on red and wanted some quick advice.

We planned to roll mage/mage to just wreck shop on mobs, but I'm afraid I will get terribly bored of the mage. Would mage/ench be a better route or is this just a "play what you love" thing? He is dead set on playing a mage, so I will have to work around that.

Thanks for the help and look forward to seeing you all on red.

Yes mage/mage is pointless. If he is dead set on mage, roll an enc for some cc abilities and so on. I would have him roll druid/cleric with that enc though. Enc and cleric so nice for pve.

mage/druid

snare kite w/ flame lick using druid / fire pet

Ports are goog if you are new, sow obvi

Yeah I would recommend mage/druid as well. I've played that combo a few times on other servers that allow 2 boxing and while not as effective as mage/cleric 39+, the out of combat utility of SoW and ports more than make up for it.

p.s. you can fear kite animals as well as do what Nirgon said

Our thought was that the pets would steal no xp since we were grouped and we could just use them to safely mow through mobs. Also, we could do this as a broke new char. I'd love to do cleric/ench, but he doesn't want to play either. I used to play a druid on live so that may be the route I take.

The mage/mage combo works like you think with the pet exp, but it becomes less effective as you level up. Sure, at level 12 or 16 you'll blow through packs of mobs but when you hit your 30s and 40s your down time will be significant.

Not really. With focus items you can burn through mobs at those levels.
50+ it slows down though.

Enc/Mage is a much better choice.

Ench + Cleric is dream team trust me. Shaman Monk is a perfect duo too. Mage Druid is good too but...why be a mage? Shaman + Any melee is great.

Really any duo is pretty good besides just 2 melee. For high level team ench and cleric and for normal team shaman monk. You can even do necro rogue and just fear kite. That combo is better for leveling than dominatimg tricky content tho.

Oh shoot didnt read full first post...

Yeah mage ench or mage druid or even mage shaman. All the mage will do is chain cast pets and the other adds some dps and mainly does CC. The ench mage combo is best.
