<p>Hello me and my GF are looking for a new Duo and it looks like a Coercer and Necro Duo would be fun.</p><p>Does or has anyone played this Duo with good results ?</p><p>Our main concern is leveling speed and non raid content and it looks like this combo may be able to do it ?</p><p>Should this combo have enough DPS and will the spells and buffs play nice together ? I think the aggro and CC issues would be under control but I have no idea how this Duo would work together in other aspects.</p><p>If anyone has played this combo and has some insight on AA builds or tactics to make them work best please let me know.</p><p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Hi!</p><p> I'm just getting back to the game after a break, but my Fiance and I play a Coercer / Necro duo all the way from 1-80 and it's great.</p><p> We have enough dps to drop things fairly quick.  With the CC and a little bit of healing we can survive some pretty big fights and if i throw in a pet we can grind all day long....or at least until it breaks and one shots us <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

At high enough levels and with the right gear a Coercer / Necro combo can clear SoF (including X2s) fairly quickly and handel a decent amount of other stuff in RoK as well. Still experimenting with VoES and MC. If you can kill fast enough you can do all of Chelsith too.

<p>Thats great news.</p><p>How do the skills/buff mesh or stack ?  </p><p>Any conflicts or sugjestions on what AA builds to go for that complement the two ?</p><p>Thanks.</p>

I normally don't use a pet when i'm with my Necro buddy... unless the pet is useful in a sense that it has a stun or ability to help us live. Spending conc on dehates and DPS buffs is more important than getting a charmed pet. (Depending on the pet of course.)

<p>So Coercer pets dont do much at higher levels?</p><p>I take it the main role of a Coercer is CC and some DPS/Utillity then ?</p><p>Any AA lines that are prefered or working as intended  : )</p>

in a duo situation, coercers are CC and DPS.  You won't outparse the necro, but you will reduce the need for healing considerably by keeping adds out of the fight and stunning/stifling/dazing the mobs.  (at L76, with a combination of daze and stun spells I can keep the mob from attacking for about 20 seconds -- long enough to kill most things).

Most of this could be solo'd by a coercer, however it will be less dangerous and go much faster with the duo. T8 is a pain because of how hard the mobs hit but anything that isnt stun immune should be no problem for this duo.
