With a druid?

Druid is a Solo class for quick XP, or a Healer in a full group up to level 50. End of story.

This is just simply wrong. Being that charmed pets dont leech exp when grouped with someone else, a duo situation with a charmed pet can be very advantageous. I did 54-60 on my druid in about a week mostly duoing with other druids in the Bear Pits. That's CRAZY fast compared to the exp I've gotten playing any other class, solo or grouped.

However, I agree that outside of using charmed pets, any kind of kiting or heal/melee duo with a druid will be sub-optimal. But there are still plenty of decent options that will allow you to have fun and be productive with your friend. TL;DR Druid is very versatile, and there are lot of different classes you can play to complement it and get by.

Anyone who is trying to tell you druid is a bad duo class is simply hopelessly wrong.

It's a shame that enchanter just doesn't suit you, because I really don't think there are any duo combinations that can be quite as exciting or lucrative as druid/ench. A monk and a shaman is tank-and-spank knuckle dragging, but a druid an enchanter can handle 2 versus 20 if they put their minds to it. And at any point hit the evacuate button if they decide to give up. And then go teleport and check a new camp.

Druid simply makes any class they're with that much better, safer and flexible. As such, try to pick a class that is already pretty good at soloing. Necromancer and Shaman are very good companions because they pretty much can do their own thing already and the druid just greases the wheels in every way imaginable. Lower Guk with druid/necro is almost criminal. And if you think you're TOO invincible and you bite off too much, just succor back to south ro and walk 20 feet. With double invis. Druid Shaman is a great combination in itself, but the real perk comes when you get high level and recruit a melee to be your third.

If not -- Wizards and Magicians are perfectly capable duo partners as well, just not as lucrative. Mage pet and Charmed animal is pretty fricken sweet, and with a wizard you have more ways to kill mobs than you can count, yet your ability to make money and really excel takes a dive in the late 50s. With a Magician your cash and xp flow is practically the same from level 4 to level 60.

And if you have to go Melee, pick a Monk or Shadowknight for the ability to couple harmony outdoors and feign death indoors for ultimate pull control. Shadowknights are awesome tanks and monks are awesome in general, so you two make the perfect foundation to a group.

So me and my buddy started fresh here on p99, he's made a druid and I've made an enchanter due to previous forum posts, however this class is really not my cup of tea, can anyone suggest other classes good with druids 1-60, thanks!

There are not really any classes good with druids 1-60, because druids at 50+ are basically broken. Druids are supposed to be a priest class, but they cannot heal a group. A Paladin chaining the deepwater helm will do better. Druids get substantial upgrades in Velious (ATK debuffs, POTG, more animals to charm) but it was not until Luclin that Verant finally fixed their design with Tunare's Renewal.

Basically a good duo for a druid is a good solo class with the druid firmly attached to said solo class' nuts.

Heh, very well put. Other than quick evac's or porting around, DS, a Druid brings very little to most other classes.

Classes that NEED a group, Warrior and Rogue come to mind, a Druid really can't heal a Warrior fast enough, and a Rouge will only benefit with snare and fear animal hitting a mob in the ass for hours on end. Not much fun for either class, and because a Druid can't hit a bull in the ass with any Melee weapon. And charm animal does not seem to last as long compared to a Enchanter with good cha in my experience. But it does add DPS no doubt, and time to Med. But you are a mile away from the mob when it does die duoing.

Like I said, a druid pretty much blows for a Duo. I am not saying it is useless, but it sure as hell is not ideal. And there are some Ideal combos on here that are Much better together. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You can pretty much safely ignore anything that Raev says, ever. He's had to change his name and his forum name about 3 times now at this point because of how many people think he's a dingle.

I could use some help finding level 5 druid spells. For some reason I can't post new threads, so I'll put my question here.

I started in Qeynos. Got spells through level 4 in Surefall Glade. But I can't find level 5 spells there. Where is the safest place a very basic, non-twinked druid can travel to from Qeynos to get her level 5 spells?
