I posted a thread in the new players forums here: https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/returning-players-question.568844/ Didn't get much attention so I thought I would ask here. For what we are looking for, I posted in the thread I linked so if you want the background and the experience we want, plz look there. Thanks. Excited to be back and bringing a friend with me.
from your thread: I would go with the necro pet, just because necros can heal their pets way better than conjs once you get the "Tainted Heal" AA. (healers mercs are pretty bad at healing pets) Both of you will need some unconventional AAs setup to make it work though. it's a solid answer and accurate. conj pet healing is far weaker than necro pet healing, and if you get tainted heals before anything else, it's only 21 AA, so pretty easy to get early on.
