what class to team witha bstFollow

I team up with my friend's necro all the time. The combo's dps is really nice.

The druid won't add a whole lot if it's just the two of you. The shammie wouldn't be bad, but there's a lot of redundancy. My recommendation would be the necro.

That's if you are determined to have one of those three.

IMO:

I have a lvl 53 Primalist on Morden Rasp/Povar.

To team up with a BeastLord I reccomend a Pally as they have some decient heals and HP buffs and can Pacify as well as root at around lvl 20. They can also Stun, all this and the Pally is also a mele class. Pallys can also use a bow to Pull or the Beast can pull with a slow spell. Beast Buffs especally the STR and AGI ones are good for the pally too so it's a good partnership to have all the way around. I Grouped with a Paladin for many many of my levls and that would be my recomendation to you

If your partner knows how to use a Pure Caster Class then it can be bennifical but you loose the addition of the Mele and the BST allready has DOT Spells and some Cold Nukes.

A Rogue is a kewl choice as they not only can be fun to play but can get you into locked places(if it's Locked you maby shouldnt be in there anyway! he heh)

You wont want to partner a BST and a WAR unless you want to spend your time medding.

Bards, Monks, Druids and ((Shamans(WAY KEW BUFFS HERE)) are all three fun in there own way and offer a different variety of spells and abilities.

A few points on the BeastLord:
BeastLords Don't kite well
BeastLords Don't Fake Death
BeastLords get Warder's NOT Pet's! Different Races of BeastLord get different animal Warder's. (Tiger, Wolf, Alligator ect.)
The Race of your BeastLord will also effect your choice for a suitable partner. Going Nutral like a Vah Shir(whichI did) will make it less complicated and you will havemore fun with your toons if they are more closely allighned. This will make questing a bit more fun also.

I was reffering to the Paladins ROOT spell starting somewhere around lvl 20 NOT! the Stun spell all you have to do is read the english in my previous post. Also all one has to do is look up the Spells here on Allah to see at what lvl they are aquired and what they do. BUT THANKS FOR PLAYING! *Heres your Sighn*.

It's edited correctly yes. My point was that you offered no real responce to this thread but responded to my post. While you may feel vindicated that I edited my post I edit my posts allot. at any rate my point was to the Here's your sign bit was that you are CLEARLY MISSING THE POINT of this thred. (and I thought it was a little funny) But seriously I appologise if I have offended your delicate senceabilites. In the future I will amke sure to consider your Presence in the World (NOT). If you want to read through forums and Pick apart litle parts of peoples posts please, Please! dont do it here. I only ever try to post helpfull information I have some level of knowledge about. Your reply to my post while knowledgable was not warrented nor did is provide any useful information in responce to the question that was posted starting this thread,

SO GET OFF ME BOY!

a high end geared beastlord and a cleric are [mr burns] excellent. [/mr burns]

OP never mentioned if this was gonna be a kite group or not.If it is a kite group then a Necro/Beastie combo all the way.I dont mean to offend druids but

I think their contribution to a kiting duo is nil to none.I hardly notice a difference when duo kiting Murks in NC with a druid partner.

Then again I think I hate druids because one day soloing in nc I had this druid root rotting mobs right in my kiting path one time and every time I would bring my mob by it it would aggro my pet and smoke its *** before I realize what even happened.

wasnt my druid or even anyone I knew just someone wanting a lil xp.But if druids are supposed to be good he wasnt convincing me any.

Ok he just sucked then

I got a quick question though.I am leveling up a ranger to 2 box with my necro.How do you thing that combo will work?He is 40 right now waiting to get him to 50 before I start grouping him with necro.

My 20's Bl has had some fun with the womans 20's chanter.
But I would take the cleric BL or ranger BL as well.

Except bards! MUUUAAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!

That's not the question of course, so to the OP, I would suggest either a druid or cleric. BL's aren't the BEST tanks out there, but they do reasonably well. The druids and clerics heals/buffs (the druids DS's and HP buffs and clerics AC/HP buffs in particular) would be great contributions if you were letting the BL and pet alternate tanking. Once you get to a level where you really don't want your BL tanking, you'll probably want more for your group anyway (ie a tank and some more DPS), so it wouldn't be a problem.

The necro would be really nice if you wanted to aggro kite (or even fear kite) most of the time. The druid would fit this bill well also. The cleric wouldn't play a very big role in a kiting duo though.

A chanter would be good if you're using charming for additional DPS. Since they don't provide any heals, you would really need that additional DPS to counterbalance that (the higher slow/haste percentages make them a worthwhile addition also). Again, they probably wouldn't provide much in the way of a kite group, unless the BL could generate enough aggro to keep the mob chasing them and not stopping to pound the charmed pet.

So, overall, for most situations, I would probably suggest a druid, but a cleric, necro or chanter would be good choices also. Don't worry about trying with a bard. The bard would get bored with the slow XP pace and just go solo .

I box a beast and cleric... they are a great duo. That is for boxing though. One thing you gotta think about is what your Dad is gonna do when you are not on... A necro is a great class for soloing when you are not around. The big issue is what he likes to do... Cast and med, or get in and fight? Druids are good to duo with and make great utility toons as well. (buffs, ports, heals, DS)
It really is a matter of his style of play though.
