Monk/Shaman is arguably the best duo for Kunark-Velious EQ. SK/Shaman is also very good. Enchanter/Shaman at higher levels, when charm is more effective. Necro/Shaman works well. Shamans can duo to some degree of success with just about every class, but those are probably the best choices.

What do you guys think would bring you back to play? I gave my accounts and poo poo away so I'm probably done unless they decided to increase experience 10x and the drop rate of rare items 10x.

The following changes would go a long way towards making the server a lot more fun to play on while preserving what was actually important about the "classic" experience. Obviously, this is just a thought experiment. None of these changes would ever be implemented by the people running the server, who can't see the forest for the trees.

Encourage grouping over soloing by giving groups an experience bonus that increases with each additional member.

Encourage the use of dungeons by giving them a massive experience bonus relative to outdoor zones.

Increase the base experience rate. This probably wouldn't need too much of a boost if grouping and dungeon crawling are sufficiently rewarded.

Get rid of class experience penalties.

Increase the drop rates of rare items. Double, maybe? This would take some tuning.

Introduce some kind of platinum sink at higher levels to curb inflation.

Looking for some advice on how to twink a ranger on an 8k budget.

Right now, I'm wearing banded with a PGT, so obviously there's room for improvement.

To my advantage, I can potentially move a Cloak of Flames and Fungi Tunic onto him if necessary, but I'd like to know what other options are available since I hate transferring gear between toons (they're all scattered throughout Norrath).

Buy one of those nice, cheap ranger-only 2H weapons like Swarmcaller, Silver Swiftblade, Springwood Stave, or Nature's Wrath. Looks like all of those run less than 500, according to wiki prices.

I thought they didn't proc until 37.

They don't, so they're an okay weapon to use. After that you won't wanna use them because you'll be pulling agro off tanks :p

Yeah, they'd be ok pre-37 but you could find better one-handers for less money.
