box slot combos

What are the best 2 box slot combo support toons.

I run 3 clients and I have one of each support healer buffer type.

1st account 41 EE / 40 OL
2nd account 49 PP / 56 SE / 40 WC
3rd account 53 Bishop

Question is which 2 boxs work best for nearly every situation.

Things to consider are: Buffs, Heals, Rez, Utility, Cost, Mule (carrying capacity), Unique buffs, and Regen.

I run my SE/Bish more often for the reasons of Buffs/Heals. Being that my se has invocation and regen its basically a buffing mp battery/support healer. With these two I can cover nearly every possible party needs including rez.

But as I approch A grade im wondering if an EE will far more useful healer/unique buffer and a WC for basic utility buffs.

I often wonder what if I ran an SE/EE combo or a WC/EE or a PP/EE.

I would like some feedback from only those that actually run similar box slot combos.

I dont plan on leveling each support pass 65+ So the end game buffs/skills will prob not apply to me.
wow, you don't even say what DD toon you're lvling....

My pairing duo boxes are intended for rifts/Raids/ large group hunting parties. IMO i didnt have to list what single DD i will be using. I want to satisfy most common needs via TANK/DD/archer/dagger etc...

I want to create the perfect or at least the best workable combo to satisfy most needs.

Of course if im running a nuker party the SE stays in otherwise EMP is not a huge factor.

In order of strongest factors are: Buffs/Heals/Rez

U cannont do anything in large partys with out proper buffs. Heals are well needed to keep the party alive. And in raids people die and u need too keep them alive /w min exp loss is +++ otherwise ur party members start to quit after that first loss or death.
Each box combo is perfect for different things.

SE/EE - nukers
WC/EE or bishop - melees depending on how you slice it.
PP/EE - archer party
SE/PP truly has the best overall buffset if you're going to run 2, but the heals will suck.. and they're on the same account.
bish+WC ftw
bish/wc is prob the most horrible of them all

bish/wc is prob the most horrible of them all



You're in a lot of trouble for that comment Drew :p

Why would you say that? I have not played with this combo. But I would think a WC plus EE or Bishop would be the perfect combo for melee support, especially for poling. You must have a reason for saying that, so I am curious.
WC buffs the party, bishop heals the party, aint anything bad about that.
THE ONLY situation the WC/Bishop would be the best, MIGHT be in a polearm party, but i would even tend to go more for a EE for a healer in that regard

Just bishops own for pvp i never denyed that, <3 amy.

but as stated previously of those mixes, wc + bishop is the worst of the mix.

Ps. if u really do run a solely melee party u fail cos your classes will blow in this game lol
I would go for SE and Bishop.Would work bery good at various situations.

I don't mean to sound rude, but all you've done is repeat your statement. I'm hoping for some kind of explanation of why a WC/Bishop combo would be a bad combo.
A boxed healer is usually a slow healer, so you can't take advantage of what's good in a bishop if it's just as a box - in that case, it's better to get the EE for their complimentary line-up of buffs and recharges.

For PVE, a EE is as effective if not more, with better buffs, and also rechargers than a Bishop if mixed with a PP for example. Resist shock > all, ability, bless's etc all that good stuff, and then prophets have the rest.

Sure thats not best for a melee party but 90% of partys i see out there are arhcer partys which require this.

Mage partys are normally SE + PP as well.
OK, now I understand. Thanks to both of you (Maline and Ferslicious) for explaining.
Agility, bless shield, resist shock is hardly important for pve. In pve group you will not even have enough buffslots for those.
Zerk (even lvl 1) is nice for pve.
