Whats the best duo for taking out named mobs?

Arcueid · 08-01-2008, 12:58 AM

Anything with a healer works out really well...failed really bad in Soulsipper(Wailing Caves spider named) with Guardian/Dirge at level 16

Mariss · 08-01-2008, 02:26 AM

Any DPS class and a Pally

Evette23 · 08-01-2008, 03:18 AM

Bruiser + Fury

Buttcliffe · 08-01-2008, 06:41 AM

brig + warden can duo every ^^^ name

Haapy · 08-01-2008, 07:14 AM

Illusionist + Wizard or, second best - Illusionist + Fury. Can kill anything in game that is not epic.

Arcueid · 08-01-2008, 11:34 AM

On the subject of duoing, think a 20 Guardian with 23 Inquisitor be able to hack through the final part of the HQ's Greater lightstone?

Heroic instance with waves of 5-10 mobs, seems the odds are against them?

Very sexy combo indeed. Unless nameds you are fighting are immune to root = 2 dead toons SMILEY

Yimway · 08-01-2008, 11:38 AM

bruiser + mysticbrigand + furyorwarlock + warlock (as long as nothing is root immune)

Chickenlady · 08-01-2008, 01:19 PM

Me and my hubby are doing very nicely with a necro-fury combo at the moment

Elebu · 08-01-2008, 01:25 PM

2 SK's of course!

Windowlicker · 08-01-2008, 01:26 PM

We do very well with a Warlock and Templar.

Warlocks are terrific at soloing, and have some built in goodies to help with power regen. One of these abilities converts health to power. If your with a Templar, the templar can replace the health which in turn you can convert to power.

It's a pretty powerful combination SMILEY

Nahh, mezz - HO starter - Stun - complete HO - mezz, this allows you to stand on top of the mob and still be safe. If the mob is immune to stuns as well: Mezz - time wizard's biggest nuke to hit 0.1 secs before the re-mezz. Named has to be immune to roots and stuns and mezzes and snares to avoid this combo.

Ya im gonna say a rouge and a warden. I guess you could go fury to for some extra dps, but I think a warden is just an all around good hot healer. Swash or brigs are pretty good at not taking full dmg, and can turn the mob with way and that and cripple it.

qfe, on my 2box warden/brig I could take out ^^^ named 3 levels higher than me.

Haapy · 08-01-2008, 05:27 PM

Originally my farming duo was defiler+monk, then I did defiler+Sk, and finally Fury+Swash. I would have to say that melee + healer is an easier duo to play and does pretty well taking down "easy" names, but it is very lacking on a harder content. Some mobs hit far too hard, some mobs charm, some mobs fear, etc. And kiling speed of tank + healer will always be relatively mediocre. While it is very fun to blow things up in RoV or CT, it gets much harder in CMM, Chardok, Seb or Chelsith.I think the earliest you can see limits of tank+healer is at Butcherblock, trying to do ring event quest while it is still white/yellow (run out of power on healer before the final wave), or trying to kill the Quenn at chessboard (on my melee combos, she always mezzed my healer and killed the tank). Or you can try to do Foombys while it is still yellow. Or you can try killing Queen in Kaladim.Illusionist + Fury is much harder to learn, but will take you much further and will kill stuff much faster and safer once you get the hang of it.

Trevalon · 08-01-2008, 05:37 PM

Or you could both be Coercers and solo the names by yourselves and twice as fast together...

DCarnage2 · 08-01-2008, 05:58 PM

I would say a Coercer and a Wizard. There's someone on Kithicor that two boxed Dominus Atrebe level 83 x4 with those two classes.
