Powerful Dual Class Combos

Bhaalthazar · 08-28-2001, 04:11 PM

There are some really nice but non obvious dual-class combos when you get to higher levels.

Here are some of my favorites:

Beastmaster (12-16th level) => Cleric: Animal Summoning 2 as a 2nd level spell, 12 times!
Kensai => Thief: Why yes, my first feat was "Use Any Item".
Assassin => Mage: Poison + Melf's Minute Meteors (or later Energy Blades)
Assassin => Fighter: Poison + Greater Whirlwind[/list]
As far as Cleric / Mage combos go, in my opinion their best feature is being able to put a Heal spell in a Chain Contingency, and their second best feature is allowing Mages access to half decent shields and weapons.

Anyway, what's everyone else's favorite dual-class combo?

my fav? can you say Fighter/Mage? Improved Alcarity+Critical Strike+Whirlwind=MASSACRE!

It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.

Agree with wizard/fighter.. Hold and then mayhem!

Otherwise the thief swashbuckler to fighter is pretty cool!

Also a wizard that duels to fighter is cool. The fighter can use wands and such..

Fighter-thief is pretty awesome for a tank. Use Any Item, Assassination using the fighter's THAC0 and haste on a fighter will allow you to kill pretty much anything in the first couple of rounds, if you can hit it (and chances are you can).

Mines Barbarian!...err..no thats not a dual class. um...swashy/mage. They're fun to play

definately the fighter/mage. you get them to a high level, and they just kick ass. you can nail enemies with magic before you close for melee. and who wouldntt run from a fighter with strength cast on him, with a stoneskin spell. so IF you get hit, it will do NOTHING for a few hits, giving you SO man advantages. also, a thief to 11th level, then dual to a fighter, that kicks butt too. get to 12th level, and a thaco of 9, you get all specialization bonuses, strength bonuses, and weapon bonuses, combined with the enemies -4 penalty to ac when you backstab, and you are doing ALOT of damage.
