Best Duo spots to level 65 to 70

Postby Lyion » Mon Apr 11, 2005 3:25 pm

Ok, I have a Shaman/Rogue duo I want to level from 65 to 70 together.

I've been messing around in the areas I know, as well as Plane of Nightmare.

Are there some decent spots for a duo to level in decently and make decent progress?

Thanks.

How good is their gear? You might be able to duo tactics or HoH. At a minimum Valor would be beter then nightmare.

with slow HoH basements are doable if gear is average to above average

you are more than welcome to duo with me in HoH if you just send me a tell

I can after next week. The Shaman is still on TP.

Gear is mediocre. I just got OOW for both accounts.

Doing some of the Noble's Causeway camps might be a good idea as well (depending on your gear). Get some runes for the shammie :-)

I've been duoing the Murks on the Causeway. It's a bit slow, though, and those things hit like a mack truck.

Still, just doing the murks can be quite rewarding though. That shield they can drop is definitely worth it...as is the quest for the back item (at least for casters anyway).

I 2boxed a shaman/rogue for quite a while

I'd highly recommend learning how to tank with the shaman using quiesence (or whatever the new improved torpor is these days)

2boxing in BoT was ok XP, plane of fire was better tho (if you have access, and some balls)

you won't need great gear on the shaman to be fairly successful
tactics was another zone that was great to 2box in if you can learn to 2box agro kite =P


I'll give you hint

have the rogue autofollow the shaman

controlling the shaman drop as many dot's on a mob as you can

run

the rogue should be at about the right distance that you can make him assist the shaman (via macro) and start attacking/backstabbing

if you've got a weapon that procs a snare, even better, but snare isn't essential for this

between the shaman pet, the rogue "pet" and shaman dots, can mow thru AA's in tactics np

I think my record was 16 or 17 in a 6 hour play session

I agree with Tikker, SolRo mobs have way to much HP. Much beter off in Tactics or BoT. Until PoFire, Tactics was one of my favorite spots.

Hmm, seeing I'll have several 65 character to screw around with on nameless next week, I'm curious what would be the best combo to level my rogue. I have a 65 beastlord, 65 Shaman on one account and a 65 cleric on another account. The rogue is on a thrid account.

I guess I'll play around in OOW and look for a good spot to roll.

Shaman, rogue, cleric is pretty good, shaman has aggro , rogue gets nice BS damage and cleric can heal rez buff as needed outside group, heck shaman can be outside group probably if rogue can do enough damage :)

I would go bst, cle but thats just me.

Rog Sham and Rog Cle both worked. I have used both combos.

I found that rog/cle was a bit easier if you plan to tank with the rog. Sham/rog was easier if you planned to kite.

Try Noble's Causeway by the WoS zone. There is a nice spot down in the valley and plenty of non-summoning mobs for you to pull.

Shaman is probably the single strongest class, so I'd build the group around that


Shaman, rogue and cleric is pretty awesome, but if you're concerned about lvling the rogue, i'd have the shaman and cleric outside the group

(or at the very least, the cleric outside the group

with that 3some, i'd definately hit Tactics

have the shaman pull, and tank
BS like a mofaka with the rogue, and send in cleric pet, and have cleric melee with that insane proc'ing hammer omg

Might be a small hitch. Unless I remembered wrong Tactics never got opened up for no flag access... did it?

there's an easy quest to open access to tactics in PoStorms where you can earn good XP too with that trio
