Good duo for leveling/PVP
Hey all,
Basically what the title says... Im looking for a good pair to level with.
One of us is very much leaning towards a Ranger, although nothing is really set in stone. Anyone have some good pairs? Glad/Cleric seems obvious.... Perhaps Ranger/Assassin?
Would love to hear some feedback and advice!
Thanks!

i've played alot of game duo with my gf, best bet would be to play classes that wears different armor types and use different stats. i'd play a caster or healer to go with the ranger, or maybe a templar. ranger/assassin wouldn't be good both want the same exact gear/mana stones and once the ranger gets up there he may pull agro wich would make it a pain in the ass for the sin to chase around trying to hit the mob. sorc/ranger could be good since both have decent CC to keep the mobs at range for both classes.
templar/cleric would probably be the best pair, dmg dealer classes are a dime a dozen to easily fill out your group.
heh... thanks but Im still not sure what a good solution is.
Question - is the priest class the only ones who are able to heal? Would it be beneficial to have a priest class with us when leveling?
I was thinking.. maybe if my GF rolled a ranger I could go with a Cleric or chanter, something that's able to keep us alive. That or perhaps a Glad. More or less I (we) are open to suggestions.... the only ones I really don't want to play right now are the templar and spiritmaster (I was a tank in my last MMO and I am not a huge fan of clothies).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Spirit Master and Chanter are a great DUO class.. You have great DPS the Chanter can heal the pet even though its a pain in the but better make a macro and keep checking that pets health. But here is the problem with Spirit Masters... 1 if you ever do plan to raid. A raid will ever only need one SPirit master thats right ONE.. why because their dots dont stack and alot of their damage come from their dots. Having more than one is a waste of DPS space. and 2... their pets dont fly which is a pain in the butt.
If it's for duoing, I'd suggest a chanter as healer since they can heal and res.
So ranger+chanter? That would be an optimal pairing, or chanter+assassin.
For full groups a cleric would be more efficient since no lack of dps, and then worry about warrior class for tanking/threat.
To me though a cleric would be a waste (for duo only!!!) since you take away 50% dps and add a TON of healing. Whereas a chanter+dps would get 2 forms of dps (plus buffs) and still the ability to heal or if nothing else, a res.
Just my suggestion.
Hey man, thanks for the great suggestion - that makes a ton of sense. I'll have to see what she's leaning towards (which as of today was a Ranger)... a think a Range/Chanter pair could be a very deadly combo. Ill be leveling with her for most of the time, so I think that makes a lot of sense. Plus I kinda was leaning towards going with a Priest class. That or Ill roll the Ranger and she'd likely go with a Sorcerer or Gladiator.... so many choices
Now - If I can only convince her to roll Asmo.... she's kinda hell bent on going Elyos due to them being "angelic" lol... blah.... trouble maker
Sorc+Ranger wouldn't be bad either, but it would be a bit more challenging with no heals (run and eat!). Also with pure ranged dps and ranger's ability to trap... survivability would stay high.
I think with the short list of playable class, any combo would work depending on what you wanted. Biggest challenge i keeping outside of each other's armor class and caster drops.
Are Priest classes the only ones who can heal? IE: Chanters and Clerics?
Yeah. There's a wiki somewhere that's pretty comprehensive.
Found one but not the one I was looking for..

chanter + anything, even another chanter lol

the chanter has alot of nice buffs wich would compliment the ranger BUT its more of a melee class and you might end up chasing mobs when she peels. tho i played a chanter and gf played a sorc i was able to tank fairly well and held off her for the most part. if she would happen to peel i'd throw her a heal and myself again and mob would insta turn on me. heals in this game are more like old school heals where they might as well be a taunt..lol
Heal aggro is awesome.
Cleric, Chanter, Ranger + anything else.
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
Any confirmation on SM's dots not stacking? That's a huge deal for me (and for any non soloing SM).
I would defintly say sin + cleric, I personally play a 25 cleric in CB and I was knocking off a few quests with a sin in my guild. Stuff was dead in 2 seconds. Clerics do good dps, especially once you hit 22 and you get a nice new combo move then even more at 25 when you get another one. The sin couldnt believe how much damage i was doing, compared that to the next to 0 down time of a sin if he has heals makes a very nice combo.
You can toss the sin a heal once and while (barly any cost of mana to te cleric) and hes good for another 10 minutes. If you combine mana treatments, and refresh mind (cleric skill that drains your hp in exchange for mp, almost like locks life tap) a cleric will have next to no downtime as well. Refresh mind is a 3m cool down, heal to max hp, use it, and toss a hot on yourself, at the end you have 90% mana back and one big heal will top you right off.
For pvp this is also an amazing duo, combine the speed of the sin, with the clerics short CD range root, noone will be able to get away. You can heal the sin whos being focused and he will destroy anyone, or you can pvp tank, spam heal yourself and have the sin rape anyone whos on you. Its a great duo (from a lvl 25's perspective)
The two of us easily took down a group of 6 with out any real problems, half were hitting him, half were hittin me so it was easy to heal threw (there may have been an add or 2 on them tho) and the sin just ate them up one by one, and i would toss out a solid burst combo when their damage was light enough to. We also had our dp skills (big dps skill for sin and instant 50% hp and mana back for the cleric) so we blew them with the initial zerg to survive and to take one down fast.
for intense gurella warfare style pvp the best combo hands down is two rangers. if u can work well together as a team u will drop your targets in matter of secconds before they even know what happened to them. time ur skills for the win
