Which is best 2box?Follow

I run a pal/shm 2-box and healing is usually not an issue unless it's against a high burst damage mob. Granted I max out the paladins regen and have the self HoT's, but I use that more so he gets some heal agro than to stay alive. The shaman slows and buffs more than make up the heal difference.

Make sure you set up macros on the shaman so he's canni-dancing while you're on the SK. Once you get the "spirit of" line of DoN proc buffs, you'll tear things apart. Throw one on the dog, one on the pally/sk and canni dance while the light show plays.

I personaly like to 2 box my 70 mage with my 70 cleric, the 66 air pet is amazing, it will tank as well as an bazaar geared 65-67 warrior...it stuns and nukes etc..my pet flurries and crits and so on while the mage can nuke away..cleric tosses a hot on pet and so on. cleric can also placate the mobs for singles and rezz buff etc etc

another combo i like is i duo my cleric with a 70 bst friend alot. slows are $$ and the bst puts out decent dps specially with the warder

I know this is an old post but I had to reply....I two-box a Mage/Bard....and I've goten them both up to 65 with little to no issues.

Bards pulls, slows, and chants....Pet Tanks...mage nukes.

Excellent boxing combo and the mage is VERY easy to control using simple keystroke macros.

Kiting: Necro / Mage

Tanking: Shadowknight / Shaman

My main 2box is mage and cleric. At level 72, we're tearing stuff up.

I've been raising up a zerker with help from the cleric and although she's been an absolute blast to play, I think she'd be better with a shaman partner.

My other favorite 2box combo is beastlord and druid. Their buffs compliment each other nicely and they have ports, haste and slows. No rez needed with evac. (Yeah, right! LOL)

I've also tried shadowknight and wizard, just for fun. I got them up to about 35 and it was actually a fun combo to play around with.

I think if one of your boxes was a shaman it would be work than a cleric, but you'd be able to tackle more things. I wouldn't let the lack of rezzes stop you. It's usually pretty easy to get a rez in the guild lobby.

Ranger/Shaman if you plan on tanking.

With a chain class tanking, you need slow. Period.

If you want to Kite with a Ranger, any of the above mentioned kiting classes might be interesting.

I've found that a good 2 box has been a SK/SHM
SK for dps,small self heal, snare and shammy for healing, slow, haste, dots.

if you can with a couple of freinds or a pimped out system like mine i 4 box, and just for fun once i 4 boxed 4 beastlords. 4 pets tank together very well. and have 2 characters heal and buff, and other two slow and cast hits.

when i did this it kinda sucked because the regen time was too slow for me but new system makes it fast and would even be more fun now. i might retry it.
or evn 4 box necros, or mages, or cross necros' mage and beastlords

haveing mage dmg shield pets, necro dots, beast slows, necro and beast mana pooling later, mage pet equipment. gee i think i'll log in and check this idea out. benifits of having 8 accounts only 3 open now, but 4 of them only one character lvl 1's each of those accounts.

although boxing not easy for this idea but 4-6 friends as enchanters charm killing would be cool.

I know. That's how I realized that shaman/zerker are a great combo.

Heh may depend on gear but I have known a TON of great and highly successful ranger/cleric combos.

To me rez>slow>snare and if an option I would say ranger with the slow epic as a proc is better then the eventual I dont care how good you are eventual death and auction WTB rez.

In case its not clear Cleric huge heals,buffs, rez > Shaman mid size heals,great buffs, slow> druid mid heals, mid buffs,snare.

With ranger or sk snare isnt an issue anyway only thing your lacking is the slow and you should be able to damn near duo all but the sky drop for ranger epic nowdays anyway. Toss on an epic that can slow and lets be honest higher dps from ranger then pally or sk and its a great combo.

Of course all that being said with OP post I would probably go shaman/sk over shaman/pally too for the pull factor alone although it can still suck to not have rez but if your counting on your tank to be your rezzer, and your tank, then odds are whole ship is gonna go down anyways in a snafu where a cleric might live and rez you in place.

As a kite team, I kick all kinds of butt with my necro/ranger combo. Ranger buffs, especially attack buffs are really nice on the pet, and all I have to do is turn on autofire and kite the mob in front of the ranger and I add his bow DPS to the necro DPS. Works out very nice, and is very easy to manage. If I wanna really burn somethin down, I'll nuke and dot with the ranger as well. Nature's Balance has become a favorite spell of mine recently, stripping buffs off the incoming mob without worry of dispelling snare or anything else I've cast. Easily hotkey an assist with cast NB and then pause long enough for it to land before autofire kicks in.
