what are the best duo's during this 2v2 period?

[ketorin.5923]

looking for convo here

 

especially after the balance patch..mech took it pretty hard

 

 

[Buran.3796]

Quadruple Moa dual Mesmer...

[SlipLihte.1307]

I suspect double spb or cata will be pretty tough to crack.

[RedAvenged.5217]

Double ele and necro always good. Double mesmer is also op if they are skilled at one shotting on chrono. Besides that normal stuff- support ele or guard + dps like guard, rev, necro

 

honorable mentions- bunker mesmer, scrapper and in some cases ranger

 

i cannot think of any more at the moment

[Eddie.9143]

double minion master scourge with avatar altruism and 30k of barrier. 

[roederich.2716]

 everything that brings tanky pve creature zerg and unlimited cc or huge sustain and condi spam.

untamed + mechanist

Harbinger + guard

minion scourges

its by now ridiculous how easy some classes have access to huge amounts of immob and stuns.

one would think that a good entertaining pvp game would require at least a little planning to such fights, like when exactly to use such powerful tools like cc to pin someone down etc. But no just send the pve zerg in and perma lock your opponent.

anets failure to go for espec. If your audience expects 9 new epecs every expac you lose control of it ofc as at one point you reach the situation of just need to give the espec something „characteristic“ and end up giving them silly access to anything to justify their single existence.

1-2 new classes per expax would have done better and they would not have lost control of it.

I might be biased here... but double Tempest. 

Both have to aurashare, one needs to play Earth/water/Tempest for permanent protection boon and one needs to play fire/Water/tempest for perfect cleansing... but both need to run Sageamulett and rune of Forge instead of avatar and dolyak.

 

Why tho?

 

If one of the eles is sharing a aura, the other one will get it aswell, so you can transmute each aura twice. That means that every ele, can also transmute the fireauras that the other ele is sharing with him, and the other way around. Anyone that has ever played Condiele knows how much burn this will be^^ When they both also run "Feel the burn"....THE REAL FUN BEGINS...   if both eles cycle fire together and share/transmute every possible aura with feel the burn, we are looking at 19 transmute fires during the 8-10 second window of which both tempests will be in fire. Just to put it in perspective, how absurdly overkill this is....   IF IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE, those two tempest would jump all the way to 115 mightstacks instantly.....     THAT IS ALOT OF TRANSMUTE FIRES!!!!  Every transmute fire will deal 2059 damage over 7 seconds. Just those transmute fires rotation could dish out a potential 39100 damage over the course of 7 seconds.

That means, aslong as you coordinate your attunements... simply sustaining will produce totential 5600 Burnticks on your enemys.

Same stuff works in Air, when both eles keep sharing the shockauras back and forth while also transmuting it....... WELCOME TO STUNLOCK CITY!  🌇

 

When those eles sit on eachother and just keep sharing boons and cleanse with eachother, they will be hella tanky, while dishing out insane damage and crowdcontrol...   This works wonders 😄 

Simply sharing and transmuting auras together will Heal, cleanse, perma protection, perma 25 might, insane crowdcontrol/insane burndamage.    It just does it all.     2 tempests simply scale so well with eachother, its ridicilous.

We are playing this duoComp from time to time with great success.

Bonustip: if both run water elemental, this will be a whooping extra 16k healing every 15 seconds.....      😉
