I've been a long time lurker on these forums, so I know this question has been asked a million times over and over... so, first I apologize.
I have a lvl 80 druid that I sometimes solo with, but I sometimes get sick of root/rotting and I absolutely hate charm kiting. So, I leveled up a beast lord to have a "tank" of sorts to make the grind less painful when I am not in a full group. Well, the beast is only lvl 74 right now with almost 500 aa, but he can't tank for crap on anything that is worth while for my druid. I am wondering if I should wait to pass judgment until the beast is lvl 80 or just make a different toon to use as a partner?
I was thinking a bard might be ok cause they have songs that will make my root rotting a little less painful and they help with mana regen and such. I also have a mage that is a lvl 59 right now that I could lvl up. But I'm really just uncertain. I don't want to have to be constantly healing my "partner" or it's pet. I just want to be able to grind w/o the mind numbing sit and watch something slowly die to dots. I don't care about killing big named or anything. Just want steady, efficient experience.
Now my shaman/sk duo is hawt so no complaints there
