Rogue Partner
My friend just started playing on P99 and made a Rogue.
We want to play together so I was trying to figure out some decent classes to duo with a Rogue. I currently play a Necromancer and my first instinct was to power level him the best I can up to my level and then group together with the snare + fear + backstab combo. I figured this was a decent combo since I can throw heals at him, give him open backstabs and with my mana efficiency and his lack of mana downtime would be minimal. I did some research on the forums and wiki and another option that came up was making a Bard to play with him. I'm not quite sure how this duo works, I assume it is with a bard fear song + bard buffs but it seems sketchy. I also heard shaman was an option but I threw that away since it isn't a class I favor. Any suggestions? Is my train of thought with Necro + Rogue correct? Perhaps Monk + Rogue since both classes have a fear and the dps would make downtime minimal? | ||

I did initially try to counter-suggest a Monk. Slightly lower dps than a Rogue but a little bit more active than just backstab.
He's just happy that he found a game where Rogue's are actually wanted in groups | ||

Anything that can kite or fear will be a fantastic partner for a rogue. Druid and Necro are the obvious choices, but you can make do with Ranger, SK, Bard, Wizard (29+ for snare).
Monk + Rogue would suck phallus as a duo unless you both have fungi's. Even with that, at level 40+ when intimidate starts to become reliable, you'd get sick of chasing around un-snared feared mobs real fast. | ||

Play what you love but starting off as a true noob duo of nec rog will be rough on the rogue.
try nec/mag or nec/enc. teeehee | ||

Nec+rogue is the way to go IMO. It seems like the most powerful rogue duo by far. Charm undead, fear kite, and vacuum up that EXP like a boss.

If the rogue has a decent backstabber and some haste, dru or necro basically doing nothing but chain pulling/kiting/fearing is the way to go. I did 40-47 on my rogue in 2 days doing this with a druid. Best exp I've ever gotten on any class by far. That being said, my rogue has his epic. | |||

I think a lot of people play charm classes without charming much and they don't appreciate how powerful charm really is. It's an incredible tool.
