I currently have two characters that I love to play, Haruspex (bow) and Diviner (caster). My fiance wants to run a duo with me so my question is which would be more suited to multiplayer? She likes to play support/pet characters so I was somewhat leaning towards Haruspex for multiplayer since there are a lot of buffs that could make Haruspex even nastier than it already is, not to mention her pets could get buffed by my nightmare and get in the way of mobs reaching me.
On the other hand the Diviner buffs would be nice to have in a group, but sometimes using Phantom Strike messes up in a group since the mobs may move around in reaction to all the pets and another player and cause it to not be as effective.
Haruspex is more than likely the best solo character though, certainly better than my Diviner, but that could change if I ever manage to gear out the Diviner better. Haruspex certainly requires less maintenance to be powerful, so may be better served as the single player farmer? Of course with Diviner being harder to gear, being in a group could have her help make up for my lack of power until later in the game.
Not sure, opinions?
[edit again] Hmm, we also had a thought...
If I played spirit/dream, we would get lich king and nightmare. If she then played earth/nature, we would get core dweller and wolves. Could be quite an army going, especially once we pass A4 normal and the pets get their buff in the second difficulty >.>
