Rogue - Best Duo Partner?

[Cecily]

Sustainability. Killing a mob and saying ta-da isn't going to get you an applause or your level any quicker. Rogue + rogue sounds like alot of bind wound downtime. Same thing wih pally + rogue when the pally's mana runs out.

This. We can all sit here and say such and such class can duo. Hell, any 2 classes can duo, but is it effective and efficient?

Pally/Wiz Duo, efficiency intensifies..

if the necro was an iksar wouldn't that xp penalty be almost the same? I don't know the exact % but an iksar monks penalty is worse then a hybrids. bard can also charm any merb type for a pet and that will very much out DPS a skelly pet.

bard can also haste/str/dex buff during a fear kite to further push rogues deeps.

Racial xp penalty isn't shared, just class.

You're right about the other stuff. I'm thinking charmed bard pet is going to make for some downtime though. Pretty close id say.

If the bard begins at full mana, he wont need to recoup mana doing this w a rogue duo for about two hours, if at all. It's easy to twist in heal song doing this, and with a Breath of Harmony clicky you are looking at 40-50 hp regen per tick to compensate for any mistakes or stray mob blows. People who complain about the bard xp penalty either have played with only shitty bards or dont understand how much they bring to the table.

The best Rogue duo is two level 60 Enchanters, Chardok AOE PLVL, or Fungi Monk with Torpor Shaman.

best rogue setting is not as a duo, simple as that. being part of the holy trinity of tank, healer, dps... you don't make efficient duos like hybrids/solo classes when they solo and tag team stuff. So if you were leveling together, I'd go rogue+rogue and have strong dps ready to join any group, and really fun to duo still and stealth around.

IT's that simple. Rogue+rogue, rogue+war, rogue+ monk... all desirable. Plan to get by but depend on grabbing new friends. Planning to play EQ solo/duo is poor planning and the game has walls in place to prevent solo play quite honestly. That's what makes it better than other MMO's, it's TRULY an MMORPG, not an MSOPOGOC.... massive single player online game with optional coop! lol

Play what you like and enjoy. Few are more fun than tag teaming rogues though. groups will love you as well, as you'll come in and make them burn through mobs so fast!
