invis to animals works pretty well, but not instant which is why GGR is great, another thing you can do as a druid is snare + fear animals with a charm pet, another thing an enchanter can't do ;-; would be pretty great in a duo setting where you dont need to break your pet.

I've been relying on halfling hide, which is a bit hit and miss. My spell slots are kinda full right now/

Enchanters with snare would be wild.

I'd say that a snare would make enchanters the most OP class ever but let's be real, they already are. Screw it just give it to them. xD

True but good luck finding animals that aren't already being fear kited by a druid, cause there aren't that many animal class mobs.

Truth, druids are the most populous class and I know there are zones basically tailored to them. I fully expect to run into a lot of druids in those places.

Agreed. It may be less than ideal in all other ways, but if it does it for you personally, keep doing it. The other duo combinations are an everyday sight. Shaman/monk. Cleric/enchanter. Powerful, but commonplace. Druid/paladin is unusual, which ought to make the journey from 1 to 60 go off the beaten ZEM path.

True, the pair's damage output leaves something to be desired, but the druid does have access to charm, which benefits from the many paladin stuns. And if the paladin really wants to tank, thorns would provide enough damage. A decent amount of synergy is there. At least their buffs stack, unlike cleric/paladin, so the majority of what's in each spellbook will find its way in both buff windows.

With evac and lay hands, plus eventual soulfire charges and 90% rez, you won't be hurting for solutions to sudden, unforeseen problems. Making use of camo, ivu, harmony, and lull, dungeons like Kaesora and City of Mist will be less problematic, with the different mob types being a nonissue when moving from camp to camp. The duo could even fall back on snare and undead fear for casual xp sessions versus spectres.

For sure. Basically we're just picking the classes we want to play and doing the best we can to make them mesh well. We won't outdo a monk/shaman or anything but that's totally cool.

I'm just happy to hear that this could work in some capacity though. I appreciate all the advice and tricks you guys have given us in this thread so far.

The prob with ds is, its pretty weak the whole way. Sure youll kill 2 or 3 mobs but then itll be med city. Maybe if ya get a fungi and some quality haste?

U could be human druid and paladin for blackburtow or u could be halfling druid and dwarf paladin and meet in freeport for befallen. Half elf druid and paladin would be p sweet for blackburrow too. Wood elf druid and high elf paladin wouldbe nice for crushbone. Either way good luck getting to level 20

Human Paladin and Halfling Druid. Pally is already 45, druid currently just dinged 24, working hard to catch up. Both of us are Karana followers too which is a nice thematic bonus. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I don't really have anything to add. Just wanted to say I think it's awesome both you and your sister play. No bad combos if you're both having fun!

I love druid and it is my main now. You got heal/DS/sow skin buffs regen not to mention ports! The only problem with druid, like other casters in game, is mana. If you got some patience to med through, you will be ok. Otherwise, Enchanter + druid might be other option you can think of. I am taking bit of break from game due to RL but if I would re-roll for duo I wanna try cleric + ench. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

not charming on a druid is sad times

[Fleelord]

Was this like a "Let's see if we can pick a horrible combo and prove everybody wrong" situation?

I'm not opposed to charming, I was just expressing my fear and confessing my lack of skill regarding it. It's why I quit enchanter and it's why I'm having a hard time with it on a druid despite the safety tools they get and the limited focus their charming path has.

I am trying, though.

No, my sister just wanted to be a paladin (it was her main back in the day and she was trying to recreate it) and it was just me trying to find a class I could like that could potentially pair up well with her. Otherwise I could have stuck with my wizard where there would have been absolutely no synergy with a paladin.
