I'm starting on this server, and i was wonder what you people think would be a good 2 box combination.

so far i was thinking
SK/Shammy
SK/Cleric
War/SHammy
War/Cleric

Either combination is good really, although i'm not sure what if any differances there are from live? does anyone have some insite for me please?
 
If you want to take down bigger things, having slow, or a cleric's bigger heals would be nice.

Downfall of the cleric/war combo is no invis or sow.
 
as for taking down bigger targets, yes a shammy or cleric is a must.

it's a hard call for me, also a necro / druid combo would rock. are druids needed in higher end guilds? or is the demand pritty much clerics, chanters wizards like live?
 
How about druid/enchanter? You get buffs with the druid, ports with the druid, sow with the druid, heals with the druid. Slows, haste, mez and pet with the chanter...that being said I play a shaman/monk. I think I was even the first one in the entire world to think of that combo! :lol:
 
Well, I don't really want to promote the creation of more mages on this server :p , but if you make a mage you get the advantage of the DPS from the damage shield a druid would provide, the ability to self heal pet, as well as nuke pretty efficiently with rain spells, and have a solid tank using a pet (and yes, pets taunt quite well on this server). Then you're open to make any other class, the dps and pulling power of a nec, extra healing and/or slow with a shaman, ports and sow with a druid, etc. Just keep in mind that melee dps is really light here until you get equiped.
 
*chuckle*

I only play 1 character at a time... and I solo.... :)

it may take me longer to lvl.. but I love the RP aspects.. even if I am the only one around to appreciate it.

Of course I am always willing to lend a hand if needed and time allows...

But when I played another game.. I loved my Barb Shaman and Dwarf Warrior combo. Was interesting to have the great difference in them... and they blended very well and made for great fun.
 
I like the idea of the Beast/Druid. You got buffs, haste, slow, pets, DS, SoW, Ports, heals. Is there anything you dont have? I have seen beastmasters on live tank just fine with druid healers. :D
 
I play a pally/shm combo and absolutely love it. It's pretty comparable to the sk/shm, except you've got pacify. DPS is a little lower, heals are stronger. No FD, but IMO pacify more than makes up for that. The shaman/tank combo is really, really useful. You can almost always either find or start a group because you have all the bare necessities... and, of course, you can always duo.

Bear in mind, though, that the grouping exp bonus here makes it very worthwhile to group.
 
I actually did the Pally and Shammy combo, but I didn't really like it all that much. Right now, I'm not doing any combo... I want to atleast TRY to play with one character, but it's hard to with not so many people on the server.
 
On live I tried a number of combinations... monk/clr (my mains), sometimes with necro tacked on, war/clr, necro/druid, necro/clr, ench/clr. While I didn't have a shaman to combine with any of those classes, I'd have to say my favorite combo to date is the pally/shaman. At low levels it seems kinda pansy, since your DPS sucks. By the time you get into the 40s and 50s, though, and get some good DoTs on the shm and gear on the pally, you can drop pretty much any mobs that a duo of your level can handle, as well as sustaining pretty good exp when you can't find a group.

The one thing that sucks is always having your buff window full, and having to go without a buff or two so DoTs and slows don't overwrite em. I need focus!
 
i had a ench / druid combo on live... i didn't level them together from the start, but rather the druid was already 53 when i started the chanter.... but oh man was it ever easy to charm once the chanter got to that level.

it was quite the joke actully. my rule of thumb when charming with my chanter was if the mob didn't scare me i wouldn't charm it. with the snare of the druid no mob scared me. I sopose it would be just as easy with a necro / chanter combo.

there was a few times i had my cleric there as well, but once i got the druid cheal that was a wee bit of over kill.
 
>:8 no reccomendations on a ranger combo? :8

I always loved my ranger in main server, despite taking me over 2 years to get to a measly level 40 (Yes im slow), it was my favorite class to play.

+ Ive heard good things about rangers with AA.

I know for sure on main rangers had RIDICULOUS dmg output.
 
I'm a big fan of a bot druid, just because they can heal when you wish to just two box crap by yourself, and they can also port, cutting travel time to basically almost nothing. A very handy feature considering you can't really "buy" ports on SoD due to the low population.

With that said, you also want something that can take a fair amount of damage and has a decent amount of mitigation so that your druid can keep up the heals. A rogue I really doubt would do it... although I'm sure people have done it in the past and it worked just fine. You also need to consider that you want to kill things, not simply let things beat on you. A warrior or Pally in that regard are a little bit useless.

Druid / SK
Druid / Monk (not that we need more of these combos)
Druid / Beastlord (That may sound like a horrible combo but I'm sure it'd be fun at least. Can't speak from experience).

That's about how I see it.
