2 boxing a Ranger.. Need Advice please

[Instigator]

<p>I am wondering how well a ranger would 2 box with a necro...I figure in order to get full use of necro dps to use the tank pet and not have to worry about tossing heals to a group mate.. so I thought possibly the ranger since even though he is tier 1 dps you can be careful even to watch your aggro and demolish mobs pretty fast from a distance, and be able to throw a root on in time if you do pull it off the pet?.</p><p>.I do not know if there is much logic in my thoughts of just in case agro is peeled that the ranger is at a distance so a quick root would stop him... or snare or fear... and the fact of him being a distance from the mob the necro would not have to really heal except in situations that are grim and in that case they are probably both going to die... then i suppose the necro can always FD then rez. Any insight would be very helpfull.</p><p> Also would I be able to name farmed again if I was careful not to pull of the arggo</p><p>Again any insight to this would be very appreciated, as I think they would be a fun and effective combo, but think is the key word</p>

<p>I don't 2-box, but I think a ranger would pull agro from the pet most of the time unless your tank is hate speced boosted and you tone down the ranger dps - and dps is all the ranger offers.  </p><p>If you are looking for a scout, I think I would probably pick a troub over a ranger for a 2 box addition to a necro. The added buffs from the troub would benefit the necro and tank pet to a lesser extent, and the troub's dps isn't that shabby, I'm not sure about how many positional attacks a troub has and how this would limit your attacks.  You would have to be up close with the troub instead of ranged.  </p><p>Nice thing about the troub is that both characters could start from / live in the same city, where with the ranger/necro you will be coming from two different cities.</p>
