hey, i am now a level 20 human wizard. i have a friend who i am duo-leveling with through the levels who is going to eventually become a necromancer. my question is what other mystic class would level well with a necro? im a complete noob in this game, so my selections may be way off, but i was leaning towards archmage or arcana lord just off descriptions alone. any input? all help is appreciated :)
None of the human mages get empower, wild magic, or recharge 8X
prophet get acumen and zerk but isnt that great for a duo... necro have b2m tho so you can heal back their hp to take the place of recharge.
Honestly, 20 levels is nothing in this game 8X youd be best off to reroll now than set yourself on one char and be disapointed down the road and end up rerolling after 40+ levels
ok, in that case, a couple things. frist i wanna make clear that my purpose is not to compliment my necro friend. i want a class that would allow us to blow through mobs fast. i assumed that would be some kind of nuker. if it is true that sorcerors suck, then are warlocks good at all? and if i decide to reroll, what is one of the better high-dmg casters out there? sorry for all the questions, gotta nip my mistakes in the bud
Necromancer are limited to dark attacks only and they have no elemental nukes... so you always have to use cursed bones which cost you money. They are better for PvP tho because they get a summon with transfer pain, so they can take about twice as many hits at high levels. They also get some cool debuffs and anchor which paralyses. and also gloom which lowers mdef.
Spellhowler gets both dark and wind elemental nukes, they get a surrender which they can use instead of gloom to do more damage (your necro friend's gloom and surrender to wind will stack, tho so that would make you do a lot of damage). You have the option to use the dark attacks which are more mana efficient but cost more money, or the elemental attacks which cost more mp but are cheaper. Also if some mobs are dark resist you can use wind attacks, if they are wind resist you can use dark (so more versitle) if mobs are dark resist a necro pretty much can only use their summon as a melee dd because their nukes wont be worth the damage. SH are very vulnerable in PvP tho because they wear robes and dont have transfer pain.
When i started to reroll from my healer i made a human wiz. My boyfriend rerolled with me and made one as well. He went sorc and i went necro. To be honest it wasnt a bad duo but Sorc has become a hard class to play solo (and even in a party if you dotn have a recharger). Then have no way to recharge them self ( only basic level 1 BTM 25 mp doesnt help you when your skills cost like 60 mp to use). If you want to play a DD go necro if you dont wanna reroll. If you want to be a big help to him go SE. If will be a great duo and with this toon being only lvl 20 it wont take you 2 days to get an SE to 20 and you already have the gear you need for him or her. Just some ideas. Atleast you not like me and realized you wanted a new toon when your main was 60.
Hm there can be also other examples for duo ... ever considered for example Warcryer and Bladedancer duo? They can clean up whole room in necropolis/catacomb in no time.
Se + mage (specially spellhowler) can be fastest levelling, that's right. Just you get bored a bit when you only recharge and heal and rest for mana and sometimes root and pickup drops :p
