Best duo?

Unless I missed someone say it... My favorite duo is Bard/Necro.

I am a bit biased being a bard but between the two classes you have access to almost every spell in the game. You mentioned not enjoying the "swarm kiting" aspect of bards and I think this duo is way better for someone that doesn't enjoy that play style. It's a very dungeon friendly duo that will still challenge you a bit, but the team will be able to take down many high-end mobs.

This one actually sounds interesting/fun, thanks for the idea! Ya, I don't think I want to do swarm kiting, but if you already have a class that is good at soloing, I could see how adding a bard even if just for things like travel song, mana/hp regen, some CC would be cool and helpful.

DogDog as tank -- LMAO. He's like 12 levels lower than the shaman.
Keep in mind that ENC can slow mobs too, so CH'ing won't be happening all that often,
especially if pet is buffed by cleric.

Shaman pet can tank slowed nobles and spirocs fine for the few rounds they live. Have you ever actually played this duo or are you just going to continue to shit post?

When mobs are backstabbing for 300 at level 40 nothing is going to live for very long, so it literally doesn't matter who is tanking either, as long as someone is doing it it's still faster exp than having a charmed pet tank.

so can enchanter plus the druid can evac and snare. fuggin ho-mo's

Splorf22 said it: skill matters way more than classes. How much fun you have with your class is a better predictor of your eventual skill with that class than that class' theoretical maximum efficiency. So, as long as your duo involves a class that has some way to heal itself and some way to snare or slow, you can accomplish a lot.

If you want to kill dungeon targets you shouldn't be able to kill, part of the duo should be an enchanter, which would mean the other half should probably be a priest class.

If someone in the duo wants to play a melee, they should roll a monk because nothing else will have the same level of manaless, front-on dps and survivability. This doesn't leave much room for the other player to be anything but a shaman.

There are specific circumstances where other combinations will be "better," but generally speaking, everything else is less awesome.

Absolutely. I duo'd with a cleric in CoM Moat camp (/wave Rubby) just a few days ago with my chanter. Was pretty gravy XP.

When I've duo'd with Shamans, most of them don't even have their pet out, because it gets in the way of my mezzes most of the time...[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

How about you? You seem to think there are rogue mobs in every zone. I've haven't had a rogue pet since Mistmoore.

When I played a Shaman on Live, DogDog was pretty squishy.

You should try reading my posts since I gave you two rogue pets to level from 39-55 with.

The only mez you should be casting while leveling up is the level 4 mez when you need to recharm. There is no other mezzing necessary for quick leveling.

Yep, let me run out to Timorous and hope there's a shaman out there who wants to group with me. No Thanks.

Yep, a 12-second mezz is the only one I need...thanks for the great tip. Maybe you should write your own Enchanter's Guide and post on the Wiki....

[Sgt1stClassPerkerwood]

All of these posts are horrible.

Enchanters should be casting no spells other than rune + haste on themselves, and stick primarily to tanking.

Ranger + Rogue

But seriously, google can also see these forums
