bard duo - necro, enchanter, wizard?

[applesauce25r624]

Good afternoon, everybody!

Time to make an alt finally. Can anybody please give me some advice for a duo with a bard?

This is for end game purposes (disregard ease of leveling).

What would be the pros and cons of each duo? (i enjoy the play styles of all 3 choices)

Was wondering some of the dungeons each duo would handle well and which would be a nightmare.

Thank you for any help!

End game dungeon duo with bard? Wizard is out of the question really. Necro and ench will both work. It will take practice to really figure out what responsibilities you each want to handle in different situations.

Any dungeon would be doable with necro or ench.

Wizard is just WAY too much downtime. I am leaning toward the Nerco. They get every trick in the book except ports with J Boots. And with Bard speed who needs the boots. And not even the ports with that run speed.

Necro.

Necro heal + bard songs.

Bard song + lich.

It's just too good of a combo.

For some reason, the only downside of this compared to an enchanter is, I think and could be wrong, but you can't twitch a bard (or maybe clarity doesn't work on a bard... idk, for some reason I'm thinking one of these is right). If necros can, then there is no downside to choosing a necro over an enchanter as a duo partner really.

You cannot twitch bards, but why would you need to? The only song bards use with any regularity that depends on mana is charm, which lasts 18 seconds. I will say I thoroughly enjoyed duoing in HS with a necro, enchanter is a bit more universal than a necro, but you might miss the healing and enc+bard will step on each other's toes more than bard+nec.

Never legit needed to, but I figured I would try to find some downside.

This is an interesting thread.

My friend plays a high level bard, would be fun to try and duo with him later when/if I level up my necromancer.

Has anyone tried this combo, and how did it work? It seems like every post on here is theoretical.

Bard/Necro seems like one of the most fun duos imaginable.
