recomended duo? ;)

[Lusse]

Might aswell ask here as I have the feeling we might go hibbie

So my wife finally decided to let EQ and DS go and try daoc with me

So im wondering what duo would be recommended. Its not for efficient RvRing nor anything. Just to have fun.

 

[Matinex]

warden & eldritch, warden use the bubble and taunt, while the eldritch nuke. wont even get hit against orange mobs.

 

[old.Laryssa]

warden/shield hero worked fine too

 

[Kobold]

Or another very good duo is 2 shield heroes. Sounds stupid, but DAMN it kicks ass. Both have guard on eatchothers so both block themselves and the other. Me and a equal lvl RL m8 decided to lvl up one hero eatch together. And we soloed a purp, just us 2 and almost didn't get hurt. We solo reds without other downtime than a bit end. And if we one time (not happened yet) should get REALLY unlycky and don't block, parry, evade or miss, we have MOOSE form or the other hero just taunt and the low hp one detaunt. We simpely don't die! We also tanked weeweres and Abysmalls in CM at lvl 32!!! Was so sure to die but damn I luv that shield hehe

Also another duo that kick ass, is 2 mana enchanters, then you both get very good fast casting PBAOE, and just sends the pet to gather about 6 orange/reds, and both do 1 pbao, quick cast, nother pbaoe...all dead.....6 reds in 3 , sec..not bad it's really fun too, and all groups will luv to have you 2

good luck in hib

Im with Matinex, warden an mana eldritch, even reds should be a breeze at 26.

 

[old.Cadwyr]

Mentalist & Light Enchanter

Pet takes aggro, then nuke into submission. Ment mana regen will remove downtime. Ment also has a lil crowd control to help deal with adds, Chanter will have a low lev speed spell to help get u both around.

 

[zilch]

I definatly recomend PB enchanters ........ Solo i can safley do as many blues as i can pick up before my pet loses to much HP......its great fun adn with two of you you can take ornages easy....it can be a bit risky but that just adds to the fun

 

[Kobold]

Hmm..warden and eld, not the best I think, they will have downtime cause of mana. But I agree with Zilch, mana enchanters will get hell loads of more xp and more fun! Reason: Allways cool to be in the middle of many fightuing mobs and kill all of them in a few blasts. It's really a different and funny way to play. ANd if you get really unlucky once and die you will get it back in one pull.

But I don't recomend PBAOE for "n00bs". You should know what you're doing, and have a bit experience in DAoC.

 

[old.Verata]

Warden + Shield Champ

Champ's attack spd debuff means you'll hardly ever get hit once the Warden gets PBT.

 

[old.Biffsmash]

Mentalists great for duo especially with another mage.
Ranger/menty groups work ok too if the ranger can run around the mage and let the mage finish it off (not the most effective but damn funny) hehe

 

[healer_mcheal]

Well,,, a good set up is Warden and (your all probbly gonna flame me for this) maybe a Sheild spec blademaster,,, a sheild spec blade master is more defencive than a sheild spec hero,,, even tho in weaker armour they have evade 2 and seem to parry much much more

 

[old.Derszu]

I agree with Biffsmash, if u want to have fun in Game then the combination of Mentalist and Ranger is a very fine one...

 

[Kobold]

a sheild spec blade master is more defencive than a sheild spec hero

hmm, interesting. I would say scale is a must for a tank though. Bm is ment to be the offencive class and Hero more defensive, example is the moose form and the BM sword thingy. And parry as far as I know is based on parry skill, qui and dex (not totaly sure) but don't think the class decide that. I would rather go for celt hero with good dex/qui, maxed shield and half parry/blade or something like that then

But anywayz I think it really depends on what you like the most to play. If you're the leader type, like to tank, pull and leade the group, fighter would be it. And if u like being protected of the big guys and stand in the back nuking mage would be it etc... so just pick the class u like to play...may have to reroll some times to find out what class u want to have at lvl 50 though

 

[old.Niljindil]

Warden + ench/eld(mana speced) <-- this combo does the most damage and takes the least damage once you get to level 26(for pulsing bladeturn) Saw matinex proposed this and I really have to agree on this. Best duo i can think of.


Another one can be

Mentalist(mana spec) + any kind of tank with "ignore" skills.. which means either shield champ/bm/hero or a warden would do great. Just throw a HoT on the tank as the mob approaches and taunt once or twice and then let the mentalist double DoT and sit. Takes like NO mana at all but the killing is a bit slower than with pbae. Against oranges the mob will rarely bring down the tank below 90% health because of the health regen.


And all the others mentioned work good too these are my favourites tho

 

[old.Elyne]

you all here are talking about PvE - and about PvP duo? Id say ranger/NS duo should rock - the only problem is to lvl them up well again ranger/NS duo is not the worst in PvE till late 40sh, ranger should be fully bow/PF speced and 0 in weapons

 

[zilch]

I think it was just to have fun......

Im sure with a Enchanter (Fully mana specc'd) and a Elderitch (Mana + Light specc'd) you would would have great fun PvE and with the mezz (Eld light spec) you can have awesome fun PvP if you work together and get to know your characters well......

 

[Phazed]

My god! What a lot of reply's!

Lets join the frenzy...

Hmmm since you wanna play for fun, and not for max efficiency:

Choose a character that feels like *you*.
And:
One of you choose a rezzer, a warden, bard or druid. I'd take a warden, the most flexible of the three rezzers in Hibernia.

Roleplaying isn't totally dead in DaoC (though lots of powerplaying and no mechants / houses / true 'in character' players like beggars, mad hatters and other weirdo's).

I think.

Have fun!
