Was thinking about making a partner for my ma in s10, and wanted to optimize the trash farming.
In other words, im not looking for a boss-farming duo, just a fast killing survivable duo.
I've toyed with several ideas, but in the end I dont really have a clue.
Crat - Superb dps. Brings aad/aao/crowd control.
Trader - Looks like it would have the best synergy of all profs if running an umbral for +100ish ma. But can it do damage? Perhaps a martial arts trader for more synergy?
Shade - Superb dps, but brings nothign to the ma.
Engi - Brings blinds/reflects. Is a transference engi good, to benefit from martial arts buffage.
Advy - Doggy evades/damage/runspeed, or cat damage/crit.
Keeper - I keep hearing that these guys can do awesome dps, but can they really compare with the top dps? They have nice auras.
Soldier - I havent been too impressed with soldier dps from what I've seen, but its always mentioned as one of the top s10 dps profs. Reflects/inits/+dam buffs.
Agent - Gets crit procs, and crit buffage, possibly some false prof shenanigans, but I am kinda clueless about agent. Too bad umbral isnt usable
Looked at and discarded :
Enfo - ok dps, good survivability, poor buffs
Docs - not good dps no matter what
Fixer - same as doc
MP - could maybe be good dps, but doesnt buff the ma
NT - aoe farming only?
Right now crat and trader are looking most interesting, with agent seemingly having potential. I'm hoping for some ideas, or someone to share their experience.
