Couple looking for good Duo comp

[Messianic]

If you want partnering effectiveness on the broadest scale, Monk/Shaman is unrivaled.

Monk combines the defensive aspects of a warrior in a group situation (since at this stage of the game, their avoidance and mitigation combined are extremely effective) along with powerful sustained dps.

The Shaman has buffs which amplify the monk's already generous dps and crippling slows which turn even some of the most damaging mobs into child's play. Because the Shaman has a kind of built-in clarity, the group also succeeds in being able to chew through mobs when exping with no real downtime. Chloroplast is just as efficient than CH (Chloro is essentially a 1000 heal over time for 200 mana), and since the monk already has high mitigation and avoidance, the shaman's slows remove the necessity of heavy healing (CH). Chloro is actually more efficient unless you have characters with 2khp+.

Shamans are inherent force-multipliers - despite being effective solo, they work best when they can make melee classes far stronger than they should ever have been.


The only other combo which can even compare in terms of an exp duo is chanter/mage.
