Enc/Dru combo?

[Psionide]

Rollin new toons with my brother was thinking about Dru/Enc was wondering if the druid can buff the chanters charmed pets later on? I know Enc/clr is like the supreme combo with sham monk but wanna do something different.

Was thinking cleric/warrior too since there both pretty easy and my bro doesn't wanna do a sk pally but that seems like its going to be brutally boring of a time with lack of dps?

Too bad kunark aint out i'd just do nec/enc sux

[Hodge]

as a druid..i grouped with an enchanter once, he was a couple levels higher..we were around level 37..and killing hill giants was amazingly easy and super fast..sometimes pulling more than 2..so i say go for it...couldnt answer your charmed pets question though, never experienced that.

[Taluvill]

Yes. all the charmed pets can be buffed by anyone.

Druid snare + enchanter fear = fearkiting win

[Psionide]

ahhh forgot about the fear kiting aspect thats interesting

[Xanaron]

Druid snare + enchanter fear = fearkiting win

reverse kiting has always been more controllable and reliable.

As for the OP: Dru/Enc doesn't truly shine until PoP. The buffing the pet thing works, but when your charm breaks you have a buffed mob.

when your charm breaks you have a buffed mob.

But you also have a snared mob, so it actually works out really well.

Ech./Cru. combo = by FAR the most powerful EQ duo IF both players know precisely what the hell they're doing. Period.

I would contend that Necromancer and Enchanter are more versatile. They have access to charm kiting, kiting and reverse kiting, crowd control mana regeneration, FD splitting, etc.

The only thing a Druid can do better than a Necro is SoW and port.

This.. the sekret no one talks about is that Necros are really the second best healing class in Classic, on top of being Enchanters who can FD. :)

Necros can pair with any other class and make a really solid duo.

Well, the good thing about druid over necromancer is that ensnare lasts like 15 minutes, so the mob will still actually be snared when charm breaks. SoW is even more convenient for those inevitable breaks, because putting as much distance between the enchanter and the mob as fast as possible is pretty important. Also, you will really want to be able to heal the charmed pet if you want to keep a persistent one; for a lot of content, I would even prefer a cleric over a druid. I find necromancer to be better suited for duoing with a shaman.

Unless you are farming plats in OOT... SOW isnt going to be much of a factor.

No question cleric CH + enc charm is the winning combo for any dungeon encounter.

But yeah, obviously it's hard to beat porting in a duo partner, my necro always had a long friends list of druids and wizards.
