Other duo options for a warrior other than cleric?

Hi all,

I already have a middle-age cleric for husband’s ranger but he’s wanting to restart a warrior and I want to be able to play with his character with a different class.

I’ve never played enchanter before, so I am thinking I can fiddle around with that..but not sure if warrior/enchanter duo is an option or not.

Can you guys think of any other duo options for a warrior?

Thanks so much in advance.

shaman / druid both have nice side benefits in addition to healing/buffing power.

Warr/Ench can work, but you will likely have a fair bit of downtime due to lack of healing. Rune and chain stunning only goes so far.

Nice thing about Warr/Ench you have 2/3 of the makings of a good group right there.

Shaman/druid probably your best bet, but that sounds really boring and overdone to me. Why not try a necro? If you could keep agro over him, you could agro kite. If not, then fear kite with him as added dps. And you could even have him tank some, and heal him with your ghetto heals.

Sounds fun!

hmm, interesting,

I didn't even think of a necro as an option.

This might be great too since i've never played an necro either!

Thanks!!

I llike all the options listed and think they are the best choices for duo with a warrior, I will add one last comment though. The druid will hold you back when you get closer to the end dungeons. Druids tend to have a harder time getting groups when you venture deeper in the 55+ dungeons. But thats just me and my 2cp's

War/necro is a huge waste of the necros time.

Not if they enjoy each other's company!

That's what tells are for. If he's really a good friend I'll throw him some pity loot from my pile of riches.

If you want to remain an effective duo without having to look for more people to form a group, which is presumably the case since you went the melee+healer route the first time raound, you'll probably have to do that again. It's technically possible to duo a warrior with a necro or something, but it isn't much fun and has no versatility at all. Kiting stuff around your whole life is boring, the warrior would just be an extra pet for the necro. Warrior+enchanter is even worse, you can't sustain long-term health on a tank with just the berserker line of spells and you'd spend fortunes in components by trying to do it with rune spells. Enchanter spells are also huge aggro. Really, never try to duo a melee with a non-healer and expect the melee to tank. The warrior will run out of HP, and when he does, it'll take fifteen minutes to regenerate them back. Tank+enchanter is not a truly viable duo.

For a warrior, you're probably gonna want a shaman. If you don't specifically dislike playing a shaman, do it. It's one of the best duos in the game if you don't want to rely on something really gimmicky. Druid will also work, but it's just not a strong enough class to match up to the shaman who is basically designed to support melee classes. Cleric is actually the worst healer for a melee duo and only shine when paired with an enchanter (or in a full group or raid, naturally).
