So I went for a Bard as my Duo Box companion. I like being able to run fast, I like having a plate character (not to tank, i just like plate), and Bards have lots of other "perks". Also like the fact that I will have quite alot more pulling options with a bard not only just FD splitting etc.
My plan with this is to eventually camp stuff and do some ldons and mostly group content. Probably wont be raiding much due to time zone differences.
That being said I wanted to post here in the hope that some others might have experience with this setup and maybe can give some tips.
So far my tactics are very very basic as I am low level and just coming back to the game so alot is just learning to play again, and also duo box at the same time.
Heres my typical fighting tactics:
Leave bard @ camp. Pull with necro, load dots up, when mob gets to camp, put bard on melee while twisting 4 songs. Then rinse and repeat, keep pulling until out of mana/health, then regen up. Usually can take a few blues/even and the occasional yellow at a time like this.
However, at higher level I am thinking this tactic will be better:
Bard on autofollow twisting 4 songs. Probably selos, dots, mana/health regen. Then just play necro as normal, aggro-kiting with bard on autofollow. But I worry autofollow could be buggy and he could glitch and stop following, or get hit by the mob.
Other idea: Leave bard stationary and kite mob past him to get dotted and recieve buffs. But that sounds alot harder.
