Best duo with Shm
New player starting on server, going to be duo'ing with my brother who is rolling a sham. Would monk or war work better ? Any info appreciated, thanks.

Where is the "ONLY A MONK OR WARRIOR" clause?

Last thing any server needs is another monk.

Working as intended.

SK dps isn't actually half bad once they get the 44 necro pet. Lifetap procs/spells take on extra value vs mobs that are slowed, so that's a plus, but by that same token, so does mend.

For leveling up a monk is definitely better, but at 60 SK/Sham is quite killer.

Epic mage/sham is probably the strongest you're going to get vs a single target/kill speed. But you don't have amazing pulling.

ive done both shaman/monk and cleric/warrior.


shaman/monk was remarkably quicker then I assume what would be shaman/warrior

With the final improvements of pet aggro, dont underestimate a shammy mage combo. They can get the job done well.

Yes, this is an awesome duo, as is Enchanter Shaman for charmed pet shenanigans.

imo monk/shm is better than sk/shm because sk dps is pretty bad.

Monks are better pullers* and you dont need the plate class for tankage, as there isnt much the shm cant slow; 90% of content you can duo is slowable(probly more than that).

necro/shm also works well as necros can be pullers too. + decent dps. Dot stacking works well. Long as you get a necro who doesnt wanan root/rot everything!

* i have met a few monkson p99 who dont undertsand the concept of fd pulling

I suppose a sk does offer better fear kite options than a monk.....only a limited number of shmans can snare mobs via gear....

Maths wise, a monk will lvl faster than a sk.

I hear ya. My knowledge comes from eq in its current incarnation on the live servers. All this original content ive only been through with an 90 sk or a lvl 100 ranger and melted the zones for trinkets.

Shm/Ench

Having levelled both War and Monk with a Shaman, I would choose Warrior (if decent equipment/weapons).

Come Velious though, Shaman and Monk in Kael will be a strong duo.
