Okay, heres my story.

I have a level 57 barbarian, but my brother just started playing, and i wouldn't mind starting at level 1 with him and being a constant duo, he wants to be squishy
What goes best with these? i wouldn't mind being an archer, as constantly being the tank gets boring, but if we're a Psy/Arch duo, are we gonna get destroyed or what? any help would be great.

    Archers kill things before they get to them. Psychics can too.

    A PvE duo wouldn't be bad at all, in my opinion.

    You say inquisition and I instantly thought about the fiery purgatory of the Spanish Inquisition.

    On to your question though .. :

    YOU TWO ARE THE TWO CLASSES THAT WILL NEVER GET TAKEN ON BHs TOGETHER. I mean the synergy is great for mob grinding but that makes up less than 1% of the game near the high levels. My suggestion good friend is to have one of you play as the barb or cleric and the other play as the Damage Dealer or DD. I assure you that you will be able to form squads up faster and even if you don't form, the fact that you can hold a team hostage to let your brother into a squad is a perfect example of true team work.

    That is just my take on it. b:laugh

    what else is an awsome duo? a barb and a cleric seems good, but in reality, slow. A team of two of the same things would be cool, but I'm thinking a much wider array of skills would benefit us more, such as a BM and a cleric, BM for phys, cleric for heals, but cleric for mage tanking, BM DD? i want something that when we get to 7x+ its not like, oh, this is ****, start again.

    So perhaps barb and wizard? or Barb and Psy?
    He basicly said, he wants to be squishy range/mage, he wants no heavy metal, so, should i assist him with making say, a Wiz/Arc/Cleric/Psy and keeping my barb active or should i start fresh?

    I think if you kept your barb and he made a cleric, you will not regret it when you're both high level. You will pretty much be able to do all your bosses together without help and while grinding may be slower than with 2 DDs, it doesn't really matter. Clerics kill as fast as any other ranged caster in PvE and will considerably improve a barb's questing. Plus, as said, questing/grinding is only a small part of the game.

    The most important part of a cleric/barb duo is you can do whatever instance you want any time you want. I can't tell you the number of times parties have disbanded because it's impossible to find a cleric or barb. Or parties have failed because the cleric/barb is noob, unreliable or had to leave halfway through a dungeon. If you're the barb and he's the cleric, you form parties at any time and only have to look for DDs which is easy to find and easy to replace if 1 leaves. Finally, being a cleric also fulfils your bro's desire to be a squishy mage type.

    The thing i see is that from 1-20 an archer/psy duo wont even be in the same hemisphere of the map for a while.

    However, if you two were to do all your post lvl20 quests together, you'd decimate everything you came across. epic ranged pattack+epic ranged mattack=win.

    Someone also mentioned that you'd never get in the same squad for BH, i can't say thats entirely accurate. As long as you're both decent at controlling aggro you'll be fine. Towards the funner lvls it won't matter anyway. Eventually you'll be doing FC runs like a daily quest, and archer+magic classes for DD are very much smiled upon in there.

    archer and cleric can do anything
    is sure a good duo

    a great dd and a healer to farm your gear


    get rich running instances fast as duo :P
    (optional:
    lvl the barb to the point where he has the lvl 10 hp and attack buff
    the archer has to be on the other char, he needs the barb buffs :P cleric doesnt
    )




    drop the psych, they are bad dds vs archer
    and are really unwanted in squads + i dont see any in pvp on DW.
    + extremely goes into mana cost .....so far stinky fish xD

    I second the Archer/Cleric combo. My significant other and I play those classes as mains, respectively. :P

    If you're the Archer, you have a debuff that really helps DDing clerics (-50% Metal Res at Lv10). And of course, we're good for other things too (including boss max-HP reduction, several reliable movement-impeding skills, and if necessary, kamikaze tactics to save a cleric XD).

    Yes, I'm still a stubborn holdout in favor of the old game. Haters gonna hate. ;]

    We've been discussing, and we've come to the conclusion, for the moment, he's dropped is squishy flag, and now seeks the career of BM, yet he's unsure of which weapon path, he wants to poleblade, but i suggested axe/ham, I on the other hand have taken the role of a cleric.

    That could work. Someone who can absorb hits and can dish out some decent physical damage paired with a cleric with some magic firepower. Seems solid. Just make sure he goes for an axe/fist build for max efficiency =3
