Best PvM Team?

Re: Best PvM Team?

A smiter and a frenzy barbarian would be your best bet. One of you can work on an uber while the other character works on the summons for crowd control. That way neither of you gets overwhelmed. The barbarian will give both of you very high life and defense which help immensely. The barbarian will benefit from your fanaticism aura enabling him to wear something like doomz for even more protection (instead of beastz for the fanta. aura). You both as a result will do high damage, have high life, defense and resistances (natural resist/salvation). This will make the perfect killing team for uber tristram.

IMO no other class can help out other players as much as paladin/barbarians. Which is another reason they make great team-mates (warcrys/auras).

My prefered team is a cursemancer with maxed lower resist, or life tap, or what ever curse I need, and my merc with convic aura. MMM neg lightning resist.

You wouldn't need a tank because you would just tear through everything like wet toilet paper and a bomb.

Re: Best PvM Team?

if you're making a team with the purpose of doing uber trist, then 2 paladins is probably the best. Getting keys on 2 paladins, otoh, is likely to be torture.

While a paladin w/ convic, and a lit sorc is PROBABLY the fastest killing duo in the game, the paladin will probably be pretty bored running around doing nothing while the sorc mows everything down with lit spells.

Same with fana zealot / necro.

I think a rather fun duo would be a conviction zealot (ideally with Shael Um Tir Runeword sword) w/ a pheonix strike sin.

My favorite setup is when my ama is using a Windforce, and in a party with a Zealot and a Hammerdin. The paladins doesnt even get close to getting a kill.

Re: Best PvM Team?

A necro is great for boosting damage through his curses and crowd control. He really shines though with more than one party member. If you are going 3 or more players one really should be a necro for a powerful team. For only 2 players you can be more selective though as to what you want to boost/cover.

Seeing as Ubers is the goal a paladin with 1pt smite is a must. You can then either go with something like a necro or barbarian who can directly boost the paladin and his damage or you could go completely different with a damage type that covers what the paladin is weak against. Something like a Fanatic Zealot grouped with a skelliemancer would make for powerful melee attack but unbreakable physical immunes may be problematic.

An avenger with a light sorc on the other hand could be really fun and still leaves you with one character that has teleport to gather keys.

In the end though any two characters with reasonable damage can finish the game so try what you guys enjoy. I am loving my current fireclaws bear in SP and would love to see what he can do with a conviction user nearby or a necro casting lower resist.
