best duo, same start area
 

Looking to duo AND start near the same noobie area.

What race/class suggestions seem to work well and start with little to no travel danger?


Thanks!

Two very powerful duo options:

Monk + Shaman (2x Iksar)
Enchanter + Cleric (2x Dark Elf, or 2x High Elf)

Iksar starting zone is pretty self-contained, you can level quite a ways in it before you have to travel at all.
Similarly, High Elf starting zone is right by Crushbone, and Dark Elf starting area is right by the Commonlands.

Enchanter & Necro (2 x gnome)
This was my duo with my husband, great combo!

Yeah, Necros combo well with a lot of casters. Shamans, Enchanters, Clerics, other Necros. Even done some Paladin/Necro duo before with the paladin tanking, and Necro doing dps/spot heals.

Any combination of Enchanter + Caster / Healer
Any combination of Necro + Caster

Bard + Rogue
Shaman + Monk

My favorite starting zone was always steamfont :)

I'd go full gnome powa. So many great combos there.

2x Gnome Mage. I can hook you up with low lvl shit and some buffs. You won’t regret it.

My other son wants to play so it'll be a three team. Made iksar monk, necro, and shaman. Will see how it goes for now.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Enchanter/Druid. No healing power of the cleric, but you get the following when combined:

Double pets (when appropriate animals are present)
mez/root/snare/stun/lull/harmony makes pulling and CC a breeze
A little tracking
Regen
Decent healing
POTG + C2 at the end
Ports
SoW
OK nukes for finishing stragglers
Fear kiting with OP pets

GFay for both classes starting area, etc...
