This thread has got me thinking, so maybe some of you experienced players can advise me.
I'm coming back after a hiatus, but I usually can only play SoD for half of the year--that means guilding is probably out for me, but I still love the game and play it for lore, exploration, roleplaying etc.
In the future, however, I might be able to play more regularly and would be happy to join a raiding guild then, but for now I usually play a sk/cleric duo, which does very well. But I do notice when joining pick up groups or raids that my SK is almost never wanted since every group raid usually has a tank already, and god forbid a group should have two tanks! My monk gets groups much easier for this reason, as she is always welcome for dps and can even tank decently if needed.
My question is: how much better is monk dps than sk? And how much better tanking is sk than monk?
If I am going to be duoing alot, but will eventually want to join a guild with both my duo chars, should I forget the sk and just duo with the monk/cleric? I hate, in my low playtime, to miss groups and it just seems easier to get in one with a monk.
Also, I like playing my shammy a bit better than cleric. Can monk/shammy duo do as well as monk/cleric duo at high tiers?
Thanks for any advice
