Good duo option with an SK?

Stick to the "old world" (not Kunark/Velious) and you'll find most mobs have less HP typically compared with the expansions - should help keep the XP flowing a bit better.

Is that not offset by increased xp gain for killing expansion mobs?

SK/Shaman is basically a slightly weaker version of Monk/Shaman. You lose a good bit of DPS (though the SK can somewhat compensate with pet/dots), a bit of tanking (monks are more efficient per swing with Block, and the SK's higher HP pool won't matter without a cleric), and some some splitting ability. In return you gain rock solid threat for quick slows and a bit of utility here and there like IVU, lifetaps, snare, and fear.

The guy I'm duoing with has a 60 monk as his main so he wanted to try something different. Turns out he is re-rolling the SK as an Iksar so I'm just gonna rock an Iksar shaman to keep things easy. FOB + Kurns will give us a solid leveling spot to get started with a boost.

Thanks for the help!

As someone who has a 60 SK , I'd like to say sham or Druid can be very helpful. Shaman is probably the best option since they have a ton of buffs and can slow the enemy

If the SHM worships cazic, u can get undead fear clickie and just fearkite undead all day long. Plenty of places to fearkite undead esp in kunark.

keep in mind if you are kos with Paineel this p[topm requires faction work to be viable, which can take many hours of killing Kobolts in the Warrens.

Paineel faction is done fast by killing guards in Erudin palace. Have the 60 monk kill them and tag with other character.

Awesome! Thank you. I will likely take you up on this. Just have to get to a high enough level I'm comfortable making the journey.
