Good 2 player teams

[-Wedge-]

Hi,

I'm mainly an alb player on Excal but in my spare time (do I have any?) I play on Prydween / Midgard... Now I'm one of the sad peeps that can actually afford two accounts... Hey, shoot me

So I was wondering, what are fast leveling 2 man teams?

Shaman + Skald ?
Healer + Thane ?

(I have almost no clue )

I currently have an level 15 Runemaster and 10 Skald... Oh and a level 6 Thane (and a level 4 rouge, but that doesnt count )..

One obviously has to be a support char... What are good leveling combo's?

(stuff like albs minstrel + cleric)

Who knows, I might even start to like my mids more then my albs............

A thane and a healer on Midgard, although those with more knowledge about the game dynamics may dispute that.

In frontier combat, I find a runemaster and a healer an incredibly aggressive team.

Shaman+thane
Shaman+skald
Healer+runemaster

Thane+shaman combo will give you probably the best damage output in realm. Full aug shaman with some cave (AE root @ 20 cave for example) and a thane with 39 weapon/48SC/42shield/15 parry. I'm currently a dwarf thane L49. At 48 I had 1603 HPs with a 40ish shaman buffs, 302 strength and nice dex/qui. Only problem is lack of speed. This is the best combo for PvE however.

Skald+shaman. You will probably do very well in RvR (well, if you got the skill to handle to 2 chars at the same time, that is). Short duration instamezz, small DDs and good melee damage with fast running speed and some additional CC from the shaman. Buffs will make the skald fight a lot better too, good enough to face other realm heavy tanks (unbuffed of course).

You could of course switch the shaman to healer for more CC and healing plus the power regen, losing the great str/con and dex/qui buffs.

Healer and runemaster works a bit different. I'd probably use the healer to run around with RM sticked with speed on. Use the healer to mezz and stun, then quickly switch to RM for the kill. Maybe a bit harder combo to master because on the previous you'd probably mostly control the tank class. RM spec... Well if you can solo err... duo your chars to L50, darkness might be a good option. If you want to group, I'd take suppression (3sec nuke with snare, 3sec AE with snare, best pbt, best nearsight). I know bolts deal more damage but they are on timers and take longer to cast, and can be easily blocked by other people or shields. This way you'd have the 2 most wanted support classes in one package.

I play a suppression RM and a thane with the above spec myself so I know atleast a bit what I'm talking about

I think the healer + thane combo is best 2 man xping team. With the heals and stuns and a PoXed thane, you can chain til you fall asleep at your keyboard
