Wondering which combo of Bot + Some form of melee, to experience the most of what I can solo on Gaheris. (Solo being 2boxing).
Guessing a Shaman and probably a tank of some kind. I did an Enchanter the last time I played and did pretty well, but it was pretty boring. Any recommendations on a melee?

id go with warrior. they are on the highest damage table of all melee and they can use 2h with no penalty, though no bonus either. they are flat out beasts and as far as melee damage goes they are pretty solid.

archer/warden is awesome. Very versatile just about anywhere and anything you want to fight.
Cabby/Chanter w/ a cleric is nice as well for focus pulling. SM included if you go the split spec for focus and pet charm.

I recently did Chan with a savage/cleric. Popped Excal and between the little dmg chan did and the health drain from savagery, I only had to heal twice.
edit: Most of the health drain was from endo heal because I forgot to bring invigs.

No, they'll still do more damage. They just may not survive as well

compared to any other shield user the warrior is clearly superior on offense. compared to any 2h or dual wield melee the warrior is clearly superior on defense. they literally have no sacrifice in defense and their sacrifice on offense is pretty small as far as melee dps goes.

Can you not go in the BG's in the lower levels on Gaheris? Those repeatable quests are crazy Xp on the other servers, but I was unable to go in a BG other than Molvik and the Valley one...

Straight up melee duo I would go Friar/Warden or Warrior/Sham the Friar/Warden are better duo but the Warr/Sham are more BG friendly whe it comes to dragons/epic dungeons

No love for the mercenary / shaman combo?
But I would go warrior / sham too. In fact those were the first toons I had on Gaheris.

Theres always Pally for aggro/blocking, and Heretic for omfgwtfpwn. I havent tested whether using tic to guard for tank interrupts the carrots, it probably does.

If you roll a caster, bot a cleric.
If you roll a melee, bot a shammy.
That being said, I was able to solo most anything with my hero/shammy.
I cant comment on a friar since I quit playing mine when they removed dodger. ... prior to that, I would bot a pally with the friar. I imagine the warden would be about the same.
When I last played, it seemed most everyone had a bot ... so instead of a buffing class, I ran a sklad as a bot instead. It was a blast. The extra damage, speed, chants, and AotG3 is a great bonus to any group.

I am shocked that Druid and Armsman got no love at all. Ran warrior/shammy for a while, Druid/Arms was worlds better, imo.
Edit: Also, Chanter/Warden is a ridiculous duo if played well. Still the only character combo I was able to do Glenlock with just two characters on.

Which melee has the highest dps anyway for single target single pulls assuming a shaman bot?
Savage? (If so, what kind, h2h?)
2H Warrior?
Polearms?
Or
Merc/Blademaster/Zerker?
Or
One of the new-new classes?

Dook.
5 50's on Kay. <Forsaken> <Elysium>
3 50's on Gaheris. <Legion> <Jaded Ones>
Only I could enjoy both RvR and the Carebear server.

Savage has highest dps for single pull melee, id go with warden/sm or chanter for highest dps overall (ml9 pet/focus/pbae) with some buffs and heals, and ml9+celerity=awesome on keeps. 2h sav and warden would prolly be great also. Have the sav get champ spec buffs with 25% buffing, and warden gets bases. Self haste stacks with celerity (but not reg haste buffs from druids, ect.). So, if you had a troll sav with 0 qui in suit, no spec qui buff, keeping your self haste and warden cele, youd cap a 10 spd 2h hammer... You have infinite endo (warden just heals you), and a blockbot so nothing hits you.
That would do way more dmg than a warrior/shaman combo. I also think there are potions that give spec str, not sure.

Savage has the highest DPS of any melee toon, until you start fighting epic level mobs such as TG/Galla/Sidi, then a heavy tank will pull ahead due to landing more attacks. This is assuming you're running a small group, and don't have petspam, with spam, the savage would be superior because it would be landing attacks at a much higher rate.
However, a pbae class will out-dps even the highest RR savage by such a huge margin that it isn't fair to compare them. My enchanter routinely hit purples for more than my savage hit oranges and yellows for, and she hits as many targets as there are available, savages can only hit one at a time.
Chanter/Warden is the best balance of kill speed, versatility and durability in the game, in my opinion.

I'd have to agree, Chanter/Warden would be the way to go if you wanted the most versatility/survivability for a duo.
However, I really do like using Arms/Druid combo when I'm not running my keep team. It's just something about that
polearms Inconnu that I love lol, I'm just weird maybe. Really it all boils down to having fun, so play what you want.

Solo / with a few friends, no. Small group or two, sure. Animist/Theurg is still the way to go for petspam, however.

the original post is what bot+melee will do the best against the most. not melee in some specific situation. and caster shouldnt even enter the discussion.
there is really no debate as to the answer of the op question.
