Best Pair to Level

keico

Just curious, if you're planning on leveling with a friend, what are the two best classes to use?
Or does it all depend?

Also, does a cleric do okay damage or is it strictly for healing party members in raids and such?

You need a Cleric for everything in this game. Cleric does a decent amount of damage, you can nuke and heal at the same time, but that depends on what your fighting and the condition.

2 best classes is most likely a Cleric and a Blademaster for leveling. But it's not really worth doing 2 man leveling.

What do you mean by it's not really worth doing 2 man leveling?
I've played WoW for a few years, if you've played it, is the Cleric similar to a priest where you can change the talents to have more healing or damage?

WR + EP = AOE grind

My friend is either going to be a HF or WB. MAYBE AN EP.

So WF + ???? = PROFIT. XD

Yes. A cleric has a healing, a buffing, a passive, and a damage branch to their skill tree. A cleric can assist a warrior against physical defense resistant mobs with their ranged magic damage skills.

Duoing is okay initially, and then is offset by area of effect parties, which can level faster. Duoing is still viable though, against air mobs, or against water mobs, which provide like 1.5x XP of that of land mobs of the equivalent level. (Aoe/zhen in the air or water is just not practical...)

Anyway, one can both duo and aoe level, depending on party availability at the time. ^_~

WF will obviously stay with his own pet.

I used to fly around on my Cleric, healing my axe Blademaster friend as he AoEd some melee mobs. Best exp I ever made. *_*

That was on another version, by the way.

Axe WR solo AoE is the fastest exp, 10% an hour with no exp scroll at lvl 80.
now if you're talking about duos, then WR + EP is good for later levels when WR can AoE while EP heals.

WoW is a lot more different from this game, leveling is far harder in this game than it is in WoW. What I mean is 2 man leveling is not faster than a full party. 2 man is decent but IMO still kind of slow. As someone said WR + EP = AoE grind, well it's true but it's still slow compare to a full party. I guess it depends on which server you play on and when and how are you going to get that spot.

elf priest and warrior r the best combination after lvl 60.... warrion can do its own aoe while the priest heals of course u need to use a xp scroll :D:D

Well usually with games that do PvP the game designs for PvP tend to go in one of two focuses. PvP group build or PvP individual build.

PvP group builds then you tend to have classes that are desired for survivability but they alone are not often strong enough to deal strong enough damage to beat someone, but they can put up an incredible defense that gives them a lasting power for a group member to assist.

PvP individual then all classes have strengths and weaknesses to eachother highly dependant on limited amount of talents you can train. The thing with PvP individual builds though is that it means all classes can essentially play different roles then you'd think they should.

For example a Mage being capable of being a Tank in a fight instead of High DPS, or being a Snare instead of High DPS. Then a Priest being High DPS instead of Healing, or a Paladin being High in Healing instead of Tanking, and so on. That's why WoW you're able to do things that other MMO's you generally can not.

It's also why with other MMO's if you are going to go a certain class you better expect higher chance of being a PKer's target when solo.

EDIT:
I like to view things often to the structure of "Magic: The Gathering" you build something resembling a "Red Deck" then your High DPS but you burn out quickly so the trick then for the enemy is just survive. If you build a "White Deck" then you are high survival but takes a long time for you to be able to kill something if at all. A "Blue Deck" then you do a lot of crowd control and able to win by allowing enemy to only have and use what you'll ok, "Black Deck" you win basically by leechin, and a "Green Deck" is huge buffs and "Army building".

From my experiences WoW has all these builds were you can actually mix into a single character, but spread to thin among the types and you're overall weak. In other MMO's these builds tend to be more limited so you have to compliment with other players builds to be strong.

to the original poster, a priest works just as well with any class, but apparently WR is nice for lvl at high lvls. while EP mostly meant for healing / buffing, it can probably be made into a damage dealer if you wanted

more important is imo, to play a class that suits you, not one that is the "best"
most ppl dont last long playing a char they dont like.

elf priest(cleric) isnt a MUST inside a grind party help but isnt a healer buff are long from 30 minuts to 1 hour.

Doesnt exist a best couple class that can grind well togheter because best party is a FULL party of 6 person there are 2 ways for lvl up fast

grind party:6 person full paerty killing mobs inside same area

aoe party:1 elf prioiest 2 elf archer/mage with aoe and 3 lurer werebeast warrior


in a HH(holy hall) party is a must 1 werebeast and 1-2 elf priest and 1 elf archer and often 1 werefox for luring.

2-man levelling isn't great IMO. If you're a Barbarian, do solo AoE grinding and get a heiro. Same thing with Blademaster. Ranged classes should either go a full party in mob-populated skies, or by themselves. Get a heiro.
