Duo Recommendation

maultar · #1 04-05-2010, 11:49 AM

I am duoing my mage (lvl 18) with a clr and when she hits 16 we are out of befallen I think. Milked that exp modifier as long as we could. Thinkin of moving on to Uppger Guk. Any particular camp you can recommend we level up on? One that she can easily cast soothe on to help crowd control? Unrest would be tough its over populated and hard to soothe and not as good of a modifier as guk anyway. Thanks

Guk is more group friendly, than duo friendly. There are a lot of just simple camps that mobs can be pulled and killed. I think when you get 23 or higher, going into full groups might be more necessary.

If I can strafe into a doorway and see a room with mobs then she should be able to do the same and lull/soothe. Issue is with unrest you stand in a doorway ur too close to mobs and they all come.

If memory serves we could get to some rooms in guk where there may only be 1-2 hall roamers between rooms which is no big deal. I just cant remember camp names. We'll try it I'll report back. What's the worst that can happen? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

My father and I are a Duo Mage and Cleric, we Duo MM all the time and its WAYYYY faster exp with just us 2 then with a full group. IMO duo as long as you can. I think we went to Unrest when we were around that lvl. Stayed there till we moved to MM around lvl 20.

I would say you're much safer and better off duoing in a place like South Karana then a dungeon. Also in SK there are 2 different places where you can sell loot without even having to leave the zone. The aviak village should get you great exp at least till around 28 and then you can get a couple more levels doing gnolls outside splitpaw.

Aviak village from 18 to 28? Do the mobs get harder deeper in? That's a wide range.

Lone, how did you two do unrest and manage 3-4 mob pulls.

I've seen this come up a few times before in old threads. General consensus, a shaman + anything is basically the bomb. SHM + SK or NEC is nuts. Haste, Regen, Invis, IVU, there's pretty much nothing you can't do and nowhere you can't go.

Aviak village gets harder as you move up the ramp. Avocets, at the top, is the hardest mob which is levels 28+ I think.

The exp in aviak village is pretty weak in comparison to what you can get in MM. If your duo consists of someone who can harmony its not hard. And it's outdoors. Just need to do it at times of the day/night where it's not packed.

Multipart answer. The mobs vary greatly on the ground floor and the mob you will get upon respawn is fairly random. Egrets and Rooks are the most common on the ground but occasionally you will get an Avocet instead. You really never have to pull from the ramp and since it takes a long time to become KOS there you can sell to the aviak vendor without having to invis and/or lull to get there.

Also, you get almost the same amount of exp for light blue mobs as you do for dark blue ones so even though the Egrets become trivial fairly early on they are still decent exp and fast kills. The rooks will pretty much keep you occupied till 27-ish when they start becoming light blue.

Final note: At 18 they are all still red cons, but can be solo pulled to a safe spot on the nearby hill. Ans you can get additional group members there quite easily to speed up the kills and it's no big deal when they decide to leave with no notice.
