duo partners..

<p>i know there is an older post about this but i did not want to necro-post to get my answer.  i noticed that most people said pally/sk would be the best duo partner, and i totally agree with it.  my question is how come brawlers were not mentioned?  with ranger having so many ways to reduce their own hate, is it still an issue of a brawler not holding aggro?  or once again lack of rez (because with high avoidance and self heals i do not think healing is a huge priority).</p>

<p>Anything can work if you only want to kill solo mobs. Brawlers would be fine but they cant take many hits and probably cant hold aggro off a ranger going full blast. Pally is the best option for hard mobs - you  can take out heroics with a pally/ranger combo pretty easily.</p><p>So yes brawlers will work but so wont wizards, rogues, furies, illy etc but are they as good as a pally/ranger combo - IMO no</p>

They essentially have 5 Rescues along with their taunts, not to mention single target DPS they do loads of...  Stoneskins, immunity to control effects, massive heals, cure control effects... etc etc...</p>
