Best duo with a...Necro?

[Whirled]

I fear kited with a necro last night for a few & it was pretty decent as he would heal me if needed too as I added 3times+ more DPS than Zonerabob pet0026. I wasn't trying to get hit obviously but you get it.

(Disregard if:>) I think you said you made a druid but, make what you really wanna play dude. Something you going to want to log in and play. Example: My play time is limited so I like to log in and swing imaginary weapons, dodge & see my numbers beat their numbers. It gives me a chance to unwind after working, hopefully help other people & hang out with folks also trying to play a game.

It's obviously very situational.

I duo'd with a necro while playing my enchanter in Dreadlands. He took a plaguebone from the ruins and I had a Drolvarg Rager. Those two were doing close to 15% per round of attacks. We had level 4 fear and level 12 darkness and both of those were more than sufficient on all but Ravishing Drolvargs.

Not healing saves tons of mana - who knew?

It depends on what you're trying to duo and at what level you're talking about. If you and a friend are new players making characters and want to level up together efficiently, 2 necros is a great duo because you don't get the pet xp hit, and can both heal, FD, mez, etc. and neither of you need clarity or other buffs anyway. If you want to maximize your duoing possibilities in taking on the toughest mobs at 60 then it's either an enchanter or a shaman with torpor.

That's true. It's occasionally damned useful, even necessary sometimes to accomplish larger goals or to avoid snatching failure from the jaws of victory. But I'm still not gonna do it for hours and hours for "good xp" or even "OMG!!! GREAT XP!!!!!!". Accumulating experience points is not anywhere on my list of reasons to play an MMO.

Gratz OP on making a choice, hope you have fun. Druid + Necro is not only a sweet duo, it can also form the core of a fun & effective dungeon group. Good luck!

Sure, so you're not someone that would find such a thing particularly fun. That's fine. It's not for everyone. My sole point is that what is boring for one person can be fun for another. That's part of why we have so many different classes.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

Now this right here - deserves a thumb up! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
