Presently, I have an E/Mo.
I plan to make a new character R/something, the question is - what?
Ultimately, I would like to have all 6 classes in 3 characters, so its really

R/Me & (N/W or W/N)
R/N & (Me/W or W/Me)
R/W & (N/Me or Me/N)

Which do you think would yield the best PvE combination?

Death Necro works really well, I'd think. Spam minions, keep you sorta safe so you can keep shooting

But I'm a newb, so people will probably roll their eyes at me now... :O

N/ME makes the most sense since Me is high energy consumption class. Personally i think fast cast is useless, and using inspriation to catch energy doesn't really sound good. That would leave you R/W. You probably need to decide your R playing style first. W doesn't really offer anything to my R/W except the charge when i run to thirsty river. Victory is mine is a good skill to combo with throw dirt, but it is elite.

Nah an E/N is good if you go the death route, in that you'll have some minions (less henches required...better drops) and you can sit back and throw some nice point dmg with a good bow

Do you mean R/N (since you mention the bow, and I was asking about rangers)?
Or have I missed something...?

I play a R/N and love it. But I have thought about going monk though.. Monk skills are always needed and you play a distanced attacker anyways. Either way I think both work well.

It really depends on what you want to do with the character. R/W is a viable combination if you want to melee. Expertise comes in handy a lot. R/N allows you to be the Minion Master from Hell. Check out The Campfire forum and read up on all the different builds people have to see what seems good for you.

Thanks for all the advice. I cant help but be indecisive when it comes to class choices.
