Friend and I are about to jump ship from (another MMORPG) and give this game a try. We're both mmo vets, just looking for something new ; ).

So what is a good 2 char combo that will let us try out most things? We're leaning towards the Archer and Cleric. We figured starting out in the same spot makes sense.

Any suggestions? Or are we already heading in the right direction?

    All classes work with a cleric really, maybe excluding Venomancers because they're born solo'ers. Do keep in mind the classes are split up only till lvl 20, Clerics and Archers train together, Venos and Barbarians, and Blademasters and Wizards. The quests before the joining point are generally rather easy and can easily be finished alone regardless of class though, so there's really no need to pick the same race if you'd prefer another class.

    If you wanna get through all your quests and grind faster, get two archers or archer/cleric.

    If you want to run a lot of dungeons for mats, etc. go cleric/barb.

    If you want to go PKing, I find BM/archer a good duo, as well as cleric/archer. Wiz/archer is risky but highly deadly as you'd be nuking both phys and magical damage. Yes you'd want an archer when you go PKing :P

    Thank you for all the wonderful and hasty replies ; ). I am always very happy when I see a great forum community. Usually means a great in game community.

    So it appears that archer and cleric might be the right way to go.

    Something to consider about a Cleric/Venomancer combo: lol@me


    edit: I've played many many different games where that would have actually worked.

    Clerics can't heal veno pets~

    Well, that's a first. Clerics have been able to do that in every other game I've played.

    For overall play in PVE, I like cleric/blademaster or even cleric/barb, they compliment each other well, BUT if you plan on playing together in the beginning you will probably want to pick cleric/archer as their quests are in the same area of the world.

    Any other non-racial combo and you won't be doing the same quests til after lvl 19 or 20. The first several levels will be centralized around your racial home and class. (each race starts at a different area) Same goes for the other racial pairings, most work well together and have advantages to the pairing. Besides their obvious lack of healing, a barbarian/veno combo is a very strong questing pair. And for those with the stomach for the caster class, a wizard/blademaster combo can be done as well, with wizard acquiring a fairly decent albeit slow-casting heal skill at lvl 24, and bm holding the agro (with any luck) long enough for caster to do his/her very damaging spells, allowing the wizard to level up at a faster rate than they normally would solo.

    Regardless of which combo/server you pick, welcome to our crazy world and have fun!!

    Thank you thank you ; )

    So if we do like to PVP on occasion, should we play on Lost City?

    Or if we chose say Heaven's Tear, is there disignated places to PVP?

    My wife plays a veno and I play a male elf cleric. If you hang out together a lot (husb/wife or bf/gf combo) I recommend one of you select a male chara for the purpose of carrying the other and gaining chi. I often carry my wife to the next quest update, or put her on follow and grind mobs while she is off fixing snacks or something like that.

    No, I wasn't aware of the pets only being able to be healed by venos. The fact they can't be buffed didn't seem like it would parallel with healing them as well.

    Come on, there's nothing better than a Cleric/Wiz combo! Not 1 but 2 Nukers and they can both heal(the wiz heal only in a pinch to save the cleric). Nothing would ever get close!!

    And then there's a Magic Resist mob so the wizard runs for it while the cleric does all the work.
