SK and Shammy two-box.
#1 Jun 14 2007 at 3:23 PM Rating: Decent
Hi everyone....I 've benn running an SK/Shammy 2box up till level 30 or so. It has been a blast. But I notice that as I get higher in level and the mobs get harder, my DPS seems to suffer. My question is how long can I reasonably expect to duo this combination? Will I make it to 70ish? Or will the planes be the end of this awesome pair?

Thanks in advance,
CB

sk and shammy combo can last you forever.
DPS and SK shouldn't be in the same sentence, so ya, expect it slow down a lot.

I don't know how tricky boxing is, i've never tried it.

I believe Shadowknight/beastlord to be a better duo. beastlords have lesser versions of the shaman buffs/heals/slows but include the better pet for some CC and much better dps than the shammy/sk combo.

i know this post is a couple months old but i cant help but wonder how you really expect to heal with a beast with that combo long term? shoot post 50. my beasts best heal at 51 is greater heal i believe. ya, when mobs are slowed it gets easier but unless you stick to old world mobs i see your beast going oom. agaisnt mobs in dranik scar, planes where the mobs dmg output and ac are much higher i see there being a problem, and dont get an add.

shammy is fine wit that combo cause you can reasonably expect your shaman to drop dots to help with the dps issue. shaman and sk pets arent great but better then nothing. i would make a cleric or druid with the sk before a beast because at higher lvls, slows or not, you will need to be healed and a beast isnt gonna cut it.
