<DIV>troubs have a debuff, which decreases mobs resistance to mental dmg   (coercers are all mental dmg)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I actually don't think you would have to much trouble duoing... Just make sure you get the right pets, and that the troub can stay behind the mobs as much as possible <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Its a rather fun duo.. and likely more of a challange then many others but certainly doable</DIV><p>Message Edited by Ulrick85 on <span class=date_text>06-01-2006</span> <span class=time_text>04:03 AM</span>

<DIV>all of coercer utility stacks with troubs as well as compliments ie the mental debuf ect...</DIV> <DIV>troubs hate song stacks with yours and your combined stun ability will be great when you decide to duo hard mobs without a propper tank.  </DIV> <DIV>You will never be out of power and your dps buffs will be a big help on duoing. The troub can even hate buff your pet enough to keep you with enough concentration to dps buff you pet... in any case I think would be an interesting combo and no need to pigeon hole either one into a sole "utility" role.. both do decent dps on their own and even better with the combined buffs and debuffs both bring...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

I play a coercer while my wife plays a brigand on Venakor and we can pretty much duo any Green named for our lvl and heroics are no problem.  After reading some of the response I almost wish she had picked a troub Lol anyway I'm sure you will have no problem Duoing IMO almost any class can duo it just takes practice and knowing how to complement your partner.
