Duo combos

[brasileira]

Sure they can hold aggro, but anything beyond the "mid" difficulty exp zones like elds and SG a Ranger will have difficulty taking the damage especially with a shaman healer. This is of course if you are not raid geared tier 5+ or something. I don't know why people try reinventing the wheel when it comes to the Tank (PLATE CLASS) + healer mold. Sure it's neat to try out other things and I have seen people make some pretty unlikely duos work, but as far as practicality and how far you want to go with the duo when it comes to difficulty, Tank + Healer always.

The problem with the tank+healer is the lack of dps. So you substitute the tank for a dps melee class, which in my opinion takes the best place is the ranger. (As ********* and state ranger is a mix between warrior and druid).

Unfortunetly i was geared with tier 5-6 and could tank alot of stuff in EC, FG, MielC, etc, etc. Any other class would have alot more trouble in my opinion.

Yeah, a lot of choosing which duo is "best for you" is deciding where you want to end up in the game. Using a ranger and a shaman is great for people who want to be able to tank a decent amount duo and then can become good ranged dps in groups. However, if you are JUST duo'ing, then rangers kind of lose a lot of steam. Felyn and Drello can both tank some pretty high end duo mobs, but both of them have pretty ridiculous gear. I like using them to tank, though, because I use them for exp. groups as well, so not only do they act as a tank when I use them to snipe nameds, but they also fill in a different role in exp. groups and raids. Using a tank/healer for duo'ing doesn't let you have this luxury.

It all depends on what you want in the long run, not the short run.

What do ya'll think about necro/Mage duo?

Sounds like time split evenly between complete engrossment and enjoyment, and complete despair and frustration.

On the bard/cleric, while leveling up is it easier with this duo to just tank with the bard? I presume the cleric doesn't bring much to a kite...

Also - was thinking of trying out enchanter/druid... would the best way to handle this duo be to double charm stuff? or charm with chanter and nuke/heal with druid?

wow i never thought that id be tired of seeing these threads but i think i am now, No offence to anyone wanting to ask or you Fishbeak.

I think you can make it with any 2 class you want ive seen some strange combos the question is witch is more rewarding to you. I have a cleric rog combo yeah not the best choice for duoing but a nice choice to create groups with, but i like it tough i wouldnt have it any other way

Kirin Folken gets some decent dps off his shaman. I have been jealous of his combo for a while.

Freygh #1 dps, 900 dps shaman.

Joking aside 2x psn dot + rain is not too shabby. (1900 a tick from dots + 900 from the rain at max tomes, before crits and resists) Not the most mana efficient dps but who the fuck cares, cast canni more.
