Good Duo

[Feathers]

I play a necromancer and I grouped with a bard a while back and it was a lot of fun. We just did fear kiting, which a lot of people find boring, but I had a blast.

We'd selos (weeeeeeee) on off to our monster. I'd dot um up and fear, pet would melee it, bard would sing and melee it.
Really short down time. I don't have call of bones yet, but the bard heal song could heal over allure of death.

I try to marry every bard I see now!

Druid/enchanter. If you ask people "Where's the best place to level for level X to Y?" they'll list an indoor dungeon with a high ZEM. Druids are worse than shaman or cleric with an enchanter duo partner in those places. However, in terms of pure leveling speed, go to places where the druid can charm and pulls are non-stop, and just fear-kite with two charmed pets. Add in more pet classes or melee to act as dots =D. If you're killing animals, the druid can do the fearing, otherwise the enchanter can do it.

A high level druid will make more plat per hour porting/plvling than most enchanters/shaman in dungeons. They can't slow, but slowing for groups is boring anyways. They also don't require 100k platinum for a class defining spell.

Other than VP, the key for which requires a raid drop, there's no class discrimination on raids; the more the merrier.

Go ent+dru.....at first. Hit 60 farm items for another duo.... Alternatively power level the alts with druid.

I've found this thread really helpful! Me and a friend will hopefully be joining soon and was considering classes that best compliment each other.

For fun, how would two pally's or Sk's fare?

Two pallies would do fine against undead. A pally and an sk might have less downtime early on and more options due to so ability to fear anything instead of just undead. Of course at 45 DW helm is pretty sweet and could top off hp lost from one fight in 30-40s between both, basically rendering the downtime savings of fear moot.

Neither would be a powerful duo though. Pally solo is slow ^^

There's other players in the game. You can always invite them along. Add an enchanter to pally/SK duo and you can level as fast as almost any trio by fear kiting with a charmed pet. SK snares, both knights melee dps, enchanter charms/fears, pally heals when necessary.

On the red server, there's very little class discrimination, since the exp bonus means the more the merrier for most content. My druid is just 32 atm, but I've been in some silly groups:
4 druids, 1 warrior, 1 ranger in unrest
2 wiz, 1 druid, 1 necro, 1 pally in SolA
druid, necro, monk in LoIO

just play what you want
