Ranger 2boxFollow

I was wondering what would make a good 2 box with my 31 ranger. I have a 30 beastlord and i'm wondering if that will work. Maybe i can duo the 2 together doing animals?

From experience, shammy is fantastic, no doubt. Enchanter would be ok, but you would really miss those heals at higher levels. For example, I have been hunting in PoD as of late, and even after my slow lands right at the beginning of the fight, the DB mobs there are still hitting me for 1000-1400 hp per kill, that is a lot to leave a ranger to cope with. With the shammy, I have no downtime at all. Plus the pet can always be used for CC and DPS.

well i was thinking with the enchanter mana regen the ranger could keep up with heals, but i also forgot they are stuck with a 100 pt heal until like 52-53.
Friar has a good point and a shaman is about the best partner to have around. the extra dps from pet along with the huge buffs, and again the slows and hastes and heals, that would be a great duo.

The main thing with the shaman is once they get the stoicism line of spells, there HP Heal/mana ratio becomes quite excellent, coupled with canni, allows for no downtime.

Which is good as the shaman is healing my ranger for 1000 hp points per mob, plus slowing, and keeping all buffs up on both the pet and the ranger, and this is witout KEI.

If you don't mind being KOS in many places, I would seriously consider Troll, by the time you get to level 50 you will really be wishing you had the extra HP regen. If you are not planning on getting this high, play what you want but if you do plan to level to 60+, troll is the way to go.

Notice I have a barbarian, I wish I could trade right now for a Troll!!!! Anyway, ultimately it is up to you, if you can live with being evil.
