Seeking Duo Advice

[webrunner5]

I don't really like any of the three combo's you presented. No real tank on any of them. Two casters sound good on paper but if your spells fizzle or you run oom your goose is cooked. Bard Druid has to be the worse of the bunch. Druids are always oom and the Bard doesn't need mana on paper. So the Druid sits for 8 minutes while the Bard runs in circles for 20 minutes?? Please don't tell me a Bard can Tank.

You are really taking three classes that are good at soloing and trying to make them a combo. EQ is really based on a few classes that can solo, or the basic Tank, CC, Healer group.

I like Monk Shaman the best. Enchanter Cleric next. Cleric heals Chanters Charmed pet. And keeps Chanter alive. My main is a druid and they are just not that great healing without Clarity. Just oom all the time at higher levels. Although a Iksar Monk with a Fungi and and if he uses mend is not hard to heal with a Druid. That is what me and my son play, Druid Monk. The Druid can port all over and that is a big plus on farming, or if we die. Shaman has canni dance to help re gen mana and Cleric Complete Heal is very mana efficent for what it does.

I guess any combo can work. It is just the two I mentioned are probably the most popular. But play what you want. Some people like my son never play a healer and I hardly ever play a Melee. A Bard is a great class if you can twist. But not many can very well. At least not for hours on end. Good Luck.

Thanks Web. I am lucky to have a chanter sitting in his 30's I plan to sit him in the zones we plan to duo as to keep my druid pal pumped with Clarity at all times. As the druid levels and gets ports, this will become even easier as he will be able to port my Chanter to those zones, and once i get him to his 30's i may even just start duoing my chanter with him, as i do indeed love my chanter.
