Necro/Mage Duo

[Netherzul]

I'm surprised no one mentioned the sustain of a Shaman in oh-shit situations as well.

Yes, both will have clarity but in the situation of things going south, a Shaman will outlast a Cleric in terms of throughput (Cannibalize ... ).

I will admit, as it stands right now, without Torpor, a Cleric is obviously a faster exp duo using the "CH pet" methodology. Utilizing the "let the pet die once he is low and re-charming one" has worked extremely well with an enchanter friend and I with my current sub-par heals.

Slightly faster killing or take the added benefit of a slightly better slow (also giving the Enchanter less to worry about), the best magical debuffer in the game ... and @ 60, Torpor. The Ench/Shaman duo changes entirely @ 60 with Torpor and this is what pushes this duo to be the best in the game next to a Monk/Shaman.

Prior to 60, Ench/Cleric is very strong but once both sit at 60, it's Ench/Shaman or Monk/Shaman all day.
