Complimentary Builds for a Duo


Advice


Hi guys,

I was just wondering what some of your iconic complimentary builds you've run in games were, for a duo. A friend and I are looking at possibly going to PFS together (both of us are experiences pathfinder players now)

We want our characters to work well together, so looking for some ideas and success you guys have had in your games!

I stand by my posts in that thread. I'm a particular fan of the Butterfly Sting crit farmer duo.

For PFS specifically, an Urban Ranger with kukris and Scythe-wielding Paladin are especially good. Assuming the Paladin takes Diplomacy and Sense Motive, the two together cover almost all the skills in the game (Bluff and some Knowledges are all that's missing) can both use Wands of CLW, have non-wand healing, a scout and trap guy, and really are almost a whole party with just the two of them.


a nice "dual duo" combo you can go would be something like:
Joe Shmoe dual wielding kukris with the Butterfly's Sting feat.
joe Shmoe's Bro wielding a Scythe (or other x4 weapon).
Later on, get Seize the moment teamwork feat to start some critical chain reactions.

Another idea is 2 orc/half orc barbarians with Amplified Rage and/or the brutal grappler teamwork feats. Become the dual lockdown duo.

Just a few ideas :)


If you're more interested in casting, A witch and a wizard/sorc work well. The witch nukes their saves and the wizard/sorc then throws Save or Sucks or controls.

For a mix, it's hard to beat the classic caster and his meat shield. This only means that one person is squishy and stays behind his buffer partner. This can mean wizard and magus, oracle and cleric, sorcerer and paladin, etc.


On top of seize the moment you should add paired opportunist so that crit gives both of you an attack of OP. Even more chances for butterfly's sting to go off. This works will with greater trip as well.


I want Improved feint partner to be good but I just can not see it working.


Save or suck based Dual Cursed Oracle combined with Witch. Both have abilities to force people to reroll saves and come loaded with save or suck spells.

I've got a hungry ghost monk//inquisitor with a temple sword in a gestalt game that I'm looking to take in that direction. The other member of the group who I'm looking to pair with is a naginata-armed, THF//alchemist.
