Other duo options for a warrior other than cleric?

[Mellor]

Warrior+Shaman is the obvious choice since you definatly need a healer to compliment your warrior and Shaman will provide the best grinding buffs for your warrior. Plus with Warrior/Shaman you have whatever needed to start a group so just add some DPS and you will hit the ground running.

Warrior and Druid will also provide a good option although you will need a slower eventually.

If he's set on a melee, why not try to get him to play something a little more versatile; like a SK or Pally? I think that would be a better compliment to the enchanter you are considering playing.

Shaman/SK is an awesome combo in it's own right, possibly better than even a Shaman/Warrior due to the utility of the SK. You lose some DPS and tanking ability, however the SK can hold aggro just fine and with FD you can break spawns that a warrior/shm duo cannot.

For the ultimate team an Ogre Shaman/Ogre SK is an ungodly duo that can take down just about anything that can be done duo style. The shaman can add some DoTs for DPS if needbe and his pet helps as well, and Turgur's will allow the SK to be able to tank pretty much anything within reason.

IMO, the dps and tanking ability hits aren't worth the SKs utility. It's a bigger difference than most realize. You can also break up camps easily enough at 54+ by using mightystrike. That and hybrid xp penalty FTL.

Don't get me wrong, they're both viable duos, I just think warrior/shaman is a little better.

54+ is going to be a long way off for them. One lone ability, to break a camp at 54+, shouldn't be the determining factor on what class to play now.

And if they're playing for fun, who cares about the exp penalty? Just have fun!!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

shamy/necro is awesome!

[SupaflyIRL]

Bard/Warrior is good, warrior can shout words of encouragement as the bard lays waste to entire zones.

Thank you, all!!

I think i will go with Shaman since it does seem like a good duo option and we would still be useful in groups as well.

I think i'll just make my enchanter on the side just for fun to see what enchanters are all about.

Thank you for all the input!

shms best, at the beginning not as great heals like a cleric

though if anyone has plans on two boxing, dont, doesnt get you anything good like a good ban hammer

For a 2-man duo, a shaman is a much better healer than a cleric. You don't need big heals on someone who isn't raidbuffed, and especially not before the upper levels. There's barely any difference in the efficiency between greater and superior healing, for example, and regen+canni (not to mention slow) makes the shaman a far more efficient healer for any content available to a duo. Cleric/enchanter is the only duo where cleric is preferable because one can take advantage of the often much higher HP of a charmed mob compared to a tank of that level, and because there's no need for stat buffs.
