Best Duo Partner - advice needed

[Cabbagelo]

<DIV>I'm thinking about rolling up an alt to two box with my 39 zerker.</DIV> <DIV>Last night I was duoing with a 39 Fury in Feerot and was absolutely blown away by the XP.  I made over 1/2 a lvl in about 2 hours, and we were exploring (first time in that zone) and we even wiped a few times.  Loot was good too as we only split it between two<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV>Between the agi buffs putting me to 170 agi and str buffs to just over 200 my average (parsed) dps was about 110 for grouped encounters and 90ish for ^^ solos.</DIV> <DIV>Both of us were using good drink and I have a PGT so power rarely dipped below half - no downtime at all<img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>This is pretty much the first decent duo I've done so not sure how this compares with other teams.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone else have any recommendations on better zerker partners?</DIV>

Any healer except shaman class before priest revamp at least... <div></div>

Agreed. Shaman wards are wasted on us since they don't take into account our mitigation. I've always been a huge fans of the druid classes and the Fury buffs really help in blowing through "easy" mobs for quicker xp. Templars, meh, they keep me alive so they're ok. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<P>Me and my girlfriend have done the zerker/fury combo since day one and have really never had any issues doing anything together and I've always thought that we made up one of the best combos in the game. I wouldn't trade her for anything. =)</P> <P>Berserker/Inquisitor is good as well. Best third class we ever added was a Conjuror. They get some sort of proc they can put on you that will make you crap your pants. I wish I could remember the name of it. It was very very good and I still have happy little berserker dreams about it.</P>

I have duoed all exclusively all the way to 44 so far, with my gf who is a Templar. It is a great combo IMO. <div></div>

I (47 berserker) duo with my wife, who is a 45 warden.  I also 2 box her when she can't play, which is alot <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  Been doing this since almost lvl 35 or so.  My observations so far: - Green group mobs are cake obviously.  Wardens have decent damage output when they spam their HOs and their AoE hit for 200-250 although on a longish timer.  Single target damage is good with a DoT for 80-90 and the HO usually hits for 200-300.  - Blue group mobs usually are pretty easy as well, unless they're caster heavy or one warlock type mobs hitting me for 3k damage lol.  Usually what winds up happening is I just outlast their power pools then they're pretty harmless. - White/yellow group mobs - these are very mob-dependent.  If they're pure melee mobs I can usually take em by dropping one asap to reduce theyre dps a bit.  If theyre the low hp caster kind can usually interrupt them long enough to kill em and reduce their dps too.  If theyre those high hp caster types then I usually lay down and die :p - I usually dont attack higher than yellow so can't comment on that I've never duoed with a templar or mystic post-40 so I can't comment on how they are.  Their buffs/debuffs seem much better than a warden so I'd imagine they'd be as good/better. <div></div>

<P>If i had to choose a duo partner I would definatly go with the templar, inquisitor or fury. Templars are good just to be safe, inquisitors can up your attack and furies for the invis, makes it easy to travel. Their buffs are a bonus in my eyes <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P>Roknor</P>

<DIV>46 zerker been duoin with my wife since release, shes a 46 Templar.  We are able to handle groups of mobs 3 levels higher then us without to much trouble.  Its a bit more challenging against a single ++ mob, but we can still take those at 2 levels higher.  Im just in normal gear too, no ebon or raid gear.  The Biggest thing is the reactive heals the Templar gets.  The vitaes are nice to start a fight with, but most of my heals comes from the reactive spell she puts on the mob, where every time i hit i have a chance to heal, and when the mob dies i get a heal.  The fury might have a bit more utility as far as buffs and invis, but its nothing you cant live without.  You can buy a sow totem, or stat buffing potions to almost make up for it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as wardens go, we also duo a SK, Defiler, (level 30) and if it wasnt for my Shadowknights lifetaps, we would have a very rough time duoinng a blue.  Even now as it stands a white group con takes us down to the wire with that duo.  I would take a zerk templar over any other duo in the game.</DIV>

<DIV>My play style if fast and furious...caution to the wind, kill 'em all fast fast fast. My favorite duo to date is my zerker with a warlock. We burned down feerrott and CT so fast none of the mobs (blue to yellow) ever got close to my soft and tenders. Priests are great partners, but heck, boy, I'm a 'zerker. I ain't got time to bleed!</DIV>

ive duo'd great with templars, defilers, furies...blah blah blah...they all kept me alive while went Zerker on their buttock's! Nuff said!
