50 Bard Seeks Duo Partner for Double XP

[clouddynasty]

...cause screw swarming!

Hehehe. This is my main and my first 50+ character. I've done 1-50 pretty much entirely by grouping with the occasional duo. I'm looking for someone who knows of some good, less known spots where we can avoid the madness and maybe hit 60 or close to it fear-kiting or root rotting.

If you're interested shoot me a PM - I'd like to try some trials before the Double XP starts.

What class duos best with a bard?

I'm going to be "safe" and say a shaman [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Shaman is great, Necros can root/rot with me or fear kite, well-geared Rogues can fear-kite with me... Mages probably can. I'm not sure 100% on all the possibilities but lots of classes pair well with Bards.

I'd offer, but I don't think I'll have much time to play over the 2x weekend. Been busy at work lately. :|

Still, feel free to keep an eye out for Shjade if you're partnerless sometime.

`we can avoid the madness`

very hard to do on double exp days! 99% of the good zem spots are known.

However(last time) i found that by the sunday most american players had burnt out and went to bed......camps started opening up....which had been chock full.

Normal offpeak rules, whic us euro players take advantage of, tend not to apply on exp weeknd....many players stay up for 24-48hrs depending on how sane they are!!

have you got a howl stones key?

you could try get a velks grp off peak....once you lose your lepers spots in this weekend patch, this is an option :P sometimes marathon exp is best done in grps, as mistakes you make when sleepy, arent generally fatal....or there are rezzers in popular zones.
High zem zones are often hard to get at, and getting a rez can be a huge and expensive timesink.....

Sweetspots are hard to get at [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

"good zem" spots are worthless on double exp days. there should be no reason you're fighting over mobs on days like this - 2 easy outdoor mobs are way more valuable than one high-zem-dungeon mob

^ This was my line of thinking as well.

IMO this is the best bard duo. A well geared rogue, and you can CRUSH any outdoor zone. You twist snare/fear/haste, and you'll never have to rest [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Could probably work in most indoor zones as well
