best duo, same start area

[dcortez]

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.

My favorite starting zone was always steamfont [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Definitely a strong trio from 1-60.

Just to open up your options, It’s pretty easy to get you to a different starting area. Assuming you pick same evil/good races it wouldn’t make much difference. I can get you to other starting area fairly easily. Only exception might be ukase since I think DL port requires lv 5 or something?

There's nothing this trio can't achieve with the right gear. Don't even have to give the necro any loot and he's good [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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...
