2 box Enc vs Brd

[Kraymerica]

Hi All,
I bounce around between wanting to solo, to wanting to 3 box, then two box, then back to soloing. Just wondering what the consensus is on a 2 box setup.

Mage + cleric merc, Enc + wiz merc
-Haven't really played an enchanter much, so not sure what they can do besides slow, mez, ae mez, stun.

Mage + cleric merc, Brd + wiz merc
-I have played the bard a bit more, but nothing recent. He has been used lately only as a melody bot. Pulling, haste/dmg songs for pet, myself, and wiz merc.

Obviously a bard on /follow and melody is super easy and requires very little. I am sure I could set up some casting macros on the enchanter to make it easy to box as well.

I box an enchanter and find it extremely easy to box with a mage. I prefer the enchanter over bard because of debuffs, slow, CC and of course C and haste. You can set up a debuff hotkey and a nuke hotkey and throw in some extra DPS. Shiny Bob, albeit small and pitiful, is still extra DPS when outfitted with some mage pet toys and the pet aura on (which I always keep up anyway for RS pets).
