Looking for suggestions on a good duo combo

Hi everyone

My brother and I have recently taken up L2 and are looking for suggestions on a good duo for fast xp and a good pvp combo


any suggestions and some insight on what makes the combo work great would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

SH and SE im sure is what everyone would say u shud try to search

Since your new.

SH = Spell Howler, Dark Elf Mystic > Dark Wizard > SpellHowler (Mage, Nuker, Magic Dmg)

SE = Shillen Elder, Dark Elf Mystic > Shillen Oracle > Shillen Elder
(Buffer, Magic Support)

Another popular option.

HE = Hawkeye, Human Fighter > Rogue > Hawkeye
(Archer, Damage Dealer)

PP = Prophet, Human Mystic > Cleric > Prophet
(Buffer, Magic Support)

Basically if your going to be Duo'ing (Grouped togeather with only you 2) then everyone suggests one of you do the dmg while the other one supports you, its the most efficent way to level, I cant say if its much fun for the other person though, most of the Supporting Characters are played as a 2Box (A players 2nd account just to support their main characters)

buy 3 accounts..

make 2 archers and a "boxed" prophet for buffs

Thats actually a much better suggestion =/ for PvP too having 2 DD's.

SH and SE or HE and PP. Or the three suggestion if no one wants to play the support

Well most duo's work pretty well.

nukers with nukers
archer witharcher
melee with melee

Optimal is the healer/buffer and the Damage dealer.

But two damagedealers work great as well. Don't mix ranged and melee though.

how about an SE and a SK. in otherwords start with a

DE Fighter > Palus Knight > Shillen Knight
and
DE Mystic > Shillen Oracle > Shillen Elder

that seems to work very well as a duo too.

just haveing 2 sh's wouldnt be too bad

First off, SK/SE doesn't work at high lvls if you want any kinda of consistant xp. It's not bad, but very slow. Since you are new I like the BD / SE idea. With a BD and SE you can duo catacombs and necros which are 4x xp mobs. The seal stones, blank scrolls, and manor sytem can bring you well over 1 mil in a day playing casually. Get bored and want to add a party member? Add a Bounty Hunter and you are good to go.

Well my brother wanted to try orcs ,,

How does a WC and a destroyer work ... Seems like it would be decent to me. I've heard Orcs dont get good till later but If im gonna play a healer / buffer Its gonna have to be a orc because the others just look boring to me

Bishop and pretty much any melee/archer.

SE and pretty much any mage.

Those are the traditional, decent ones. There are some less common ones that are even better. Take Bishop and SH, for instance. The SH kills fast with the bishop's acumen and does constant body-to-mind while the bishop constantly restores the HP of the SH, so you end up with a fast casting howler with (nearly) endless mana.

How long does it take a dead mob to fade out after you kill it, maybe 6 seconds? I saw a screenie of a howler with 9 dead mobs at his feet...nine dead yellow and pink mobs.

The WC+Destroyer would be very good, the WC can do some extra damage compared to a PP but gives lower level buffs (until later levels when they get all the same buffs along with VR). No wind walk though so slow running unless you use potions.

The destroyer has enough hp to take a beating so the fact that the WC doesn't have a single target heal isn't too bad, you will have to be somewhat careful how you pull as you wouldn't have much in the way of emergency options (UD, battle heal and such).

The WC is probably the most fun of the support characters because they have a bit more to do during a fight than just heal: melee, drain, and dot.
