Good duo combo with rogue

[BleuStones]

What classes would pair well with the rogue class if it was just a duo? I was thinking of a necromancer and rogue doing fear kite would be cool. Any ideas I'd love to hear them thanks!

I did a lot of that duo on my rogue,it's pretty effective but a lot of chasing stuff around.
Druid works well to for the same reasons,the druid snares and flame licks and you chase. The benefits being a better snare,sow and ports but you lose the pet dps
Shaman rogue is really effective to,shaman buffs + slow.
Shaman tanks and stab stab. Need fungi tunic/staff to make it constant killing though.

I went to 60 in 2001 with a rogue/necro combo. Just always be fear kiting.

Yeah as others have said, basically any class that can fear kite. Enchanter might be interesting if they fear plus have another backstabbing charm pet. But really you'd rather have a class that can snare as chasing a full speed mob around is a pain in the butt.

Do Druids get a general fear spell or only animals? Can't remember. If they get a general fear spell then they might be the best bet since they can buff/heal you in the event fear resists and you've got a mob whacking on you. If they don't get a general fear spell then I would go Necro.

Not sure how valuable DoTs would be here as at least in the earlier levels I'd assume a rogue would burn the mob down pretty quick with backstabs.

Other option is a pet class that can root a mob in place and pet tanks while you run in and quickly backstab when the CD is off. But that's not that efficient, so really you need to be fear kiting.

rogue is a trio class unfortunately

fear kiting is an option - but lets be real...nobody is trying to chase mobs around for 60 levels

shaman at 60. before that, prob pally. dont fear kite, ,that's a miserable experience for a melee.

Anything that is effective at taking hits so the rogue can BS is a good combo.

Shaman is a popular choice since it has other tools and slow is OP.

But any tank or hybrid that can handle tanking/aggro can work and be a good fit. Have fun!

it works

best xp group i ever participated in was bard / monk / rogue

Wife and I started fresh rogue and bard on green server and found it to be one of the best duos. Powerful bard snare makes for relaxed fear kiting/aggro kiting and also allows you to basically give unlimited backstab access, selo's for quick escapes, HP bar maintenance with Hymn, haste song, charm and mez for CC, and mez spam for casters in non-fear-kiteable areas... I highly recommend bard tanking as much as possible too, you'll never be a melee class or a main tank but you'll want all of that defense in a pinch and melee skills to make kills go faster.
