Making my duo a trio

[claypigeons]

I currently box a mage and shaman, both 71.

What would be a worthwhile addition for this? I've been thinking maybe a bard for melody. Or a ranger for superior track and general ranger-y goodness.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

I am with you thinking of doing the samething only i box a cleric and gettin a shaman at least wiuth a cleric wont have to use merc much

Guess this is a little late but...

I love boxing an Enchanter with my mage. I'd say a Druid too, but you already have a healer. You're likely better off with your pet than any melee (other than a tank... but they can be a PITA to box).

So overall, my suggestion would be Enchanter if you're willing to give the toon some attention; bard would be the better option for minimal effort.

ADD A NECRO TO THE MIX

Mage = pet tank, DD, 30 sec burns
shaman= slows, back up heals, dots, pet DPs , cures, all around utility class
Necro = pulls, DPs, ptet assist and pet tank .....yes pet tank !!!

I started out playing an Enchanter. I made the mage to Duo with the enchanter and eventually lost my Enchanter account, going Mage-Main. I made a new enchanter and used her to help my mage. I later decided I wanted more burn power and made a Wizard to pair with the mage. I soon realized a wizard was a mage without a pet when boxed, and so I made a 2nd Mage.

Mage/Mage combo is excellent. Very low mana usage with 2 pets & rains. Very easy to deal with adds, and Great Great DPS.

I occasionally pull out my Enchanter for a super difficult encounter, but that is very, very rare 99.9% of the time the mage/mage combo, for difficult encounters, for mana efficiency, and for speed of killing.

I disagree with adding a necro to a mage because mobs never typically live long enough for the necro to be very good DPS, a wizard would be a better option, but in the end magicians are just so easy to box. /assist ___, /pet attack , /cast 1, /cast 2, /cast 3. All linked in one button. One add? offtank with the 2nd mage pet. 3rd add? Off-tank it with servants rom both mages & pop your virulent talons, no problem.

Enchanter all the way, baby.

Mage, wiz, ench or bard. First two for dps last two for utility. Necro, as pointed out, isn't enough dps to box.

I have two accounts. My mage can duo with necro, enchanter, mage, ranger, cleric or wizzy. I can personally do more with the mage/necro duo because of the utility the necro provides. I can do a lot with the mage/mage also and the chanter mage but the hard crap I do nothing beats the mage/necro..... nothing

Agree 100% necro pulling, using pet as backup, feeding mage with mana...all amazing stuff. They are very very compatible.
