I played back during live, think I had one or two toons at 50 but had serious altism and didn't explore much endgame content. Left before rogue dropped.
I just discovered homecoming and showed my son and I think he's in.
I'm looking for a duo combination that results in max fun, FUN as defined as "effortless destruction of enemies and feeling powerful." I'm sure we all have our own take on what "effortless destruction is." But based on my son, he said he'd rather not die than be powerful but die more, so that leans me thinking to some tank/brute combo, maybe a stalker. I know his personality though, so where I might normally roll a blaster, if he feels like he is just grabbing agroo but I'm doing all the killing, I could see him getting bored. I'm going to play whatever is the more "support" aspect of the duo, I imagine some aspect of a controller locking down mobs or a defender buffing him so he can take them down.
I'd love to hear your options on what would be fun. I'm currently leaning towards him being some type of brute that is high damaging and low micro and me being some type of buff/healer or again, some controller, maybe even a storm controller, who knows?
We aren't concerned with PVP at all. We might team up with others for TF's but I'm principly concerned with easily synergizable (?) powers. I've obviously not played in years, my same age counsin and I played as fire tankers and fire blasters and while that was fun, I think the repetition could be boring for him.
TLDR: Need a fun, versatile PVE duo combo for my 9 year old who will most likely be doing the damage, with me backing him up.
