Most solid duo for Kunark and Velious

[Weekapaug]

I want to thank everyone for their responses. The conversation was most helpful and I really appreciate the meaningful debate.

Personally, as per my own experiences and what so many posted to confirm them, I really wanted to go with the Shaman/Monk duo. Plus I've been dying to play a monk since returning to EQ here.

But we decided to go with a Shaman/Necro duo for this project, at least for now. The GF is very into playing casters and doesn't have a full grasp on what the shaman does exactly, so I will be playing the shaman with her necro, which I will have a blast with too. A necro is a great class for her, I think, because it will afford her an opportunity to solo as well and to do it with a class that requires a bit of nuance since it's not as simple and direct as, say, a mage. She is still learning how everything works here so I think she will benefit most from this and we will still make for a potent duo. My only concern is being able to split camps and get single pulls because I've never really done all that with a necro myself, but we shall see, I guess.

I'm hoping that, since she will be sitting next to me as we play, I can get her up to speed on the ins and outs of the shaman and she will want to eventually play one with my monk. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Thank you again everyone. We both sincerely appreciate all of the responses and discussion about this.
