Duo with a steamer/foggernaut
Hello everyone.
​
I picked up my Steamer again a while ago, following advice from people here who (rightly) told me to stop constantly creating new characters and focus on one at a time to reach level 200. Since kamas are what they are, I'm testing Hero mode for a month to find a good duo. Currently, I'm level 156 and I'm playing an Earth/Fire build with a Soft Oak set.
​
I've already read quite a few articles and watched videos about the best duo, and the same classes keep coming up: Panda, Zobal, Rogue, and Feca, Cra, and Eniripsa. Except that a while ago, I read here several times that the Steamer/Sram combo worked incredibly well for all game content. I was surprised, because the Sram is often cited as a solo class that doesn't synergize well with any other class besides the Eniripsa.
For the past four days, I've been testing things out with Hero mode, but I'm realizing that my Steamer is already quite well-rounded: I deal good damage, I heal, I can position enemies, I have pushback damage, I boost my power and range a bit—in short, a real jack-of-all-trades. So, I'm wondering about the usefulness of another jack-of-all-trades in a duo.
What do you think? Can anyone who plays the Sram/Steamer duo tell me why it's so good? Steamer players, what duo do you use? Do we always have to play optimized games, or do you have other duos that you like and that are out of the ordinary?
