Is a Mage + Shaman a Good duo?

If the shaman has torpor you could probably use a lesser slow to allow more hits / ds damage vs trash? Idk that is speculation on my part.

Depends on the trash. If you are farming goblin skins in Droga, that would probably work.

For harder trash the few DPS you gain may not be worth the extra damage you take.

Basically a mage is just amplifying what a shaman would do solo. What a 60 and 60 would do is much different than a 50’something.

While giving a water pet backstab opportunity is technically better (if you have torp) it’s also more work than pulling with a slow, sending pets in, dotting, and waiting for the lazy xp.

It would be interesting to see how mage pet dps and tanking interact with the cripple line and shaman buffs imo

DDD is MUCH lower dps than the 57 earth. I think it’s a bit worse than the 49 pets and you can’t even deadwood it. Maybe pants hasted on a low mana suicidal pet approach but I don’t know.

I haven’t focused an air yet but it doesn’t seem more durable than earth in my informal testing nor is focused water.

I would be curious to see some focused 59 air pet parses as well. Seems like a no brainer over earth if root isn’t needed

Any duo without FD, lull, or mez is hurtin for a squirtin unless you're just doing trivial shit to xp on.
