Seriously disagree with a mage.

Get a druid. A druid and a necro can kill anything duo.

Honestly, I just let my girlfriend choose what class she thought was coolest. Granted, this means we have one of the shittiest combos (Bard/Necro), but at least we're both having fun.

For a first character that is fun, go Wizard. They are not complicated and are easy to learn. Later on she can switch to another class if she wants, but a Wizard lets her learn the game faster than more complicated classes. (And you can make a Pally for grouping with her.)

I agree, but druids do seem to make life easier, she won't have fun running long distances, and she can charge plat for ports!

I personally LOVE duoing with enchanters as a mage. It's a super fun duo with the CC, tankage, slows, pet heals, and tons of mana. Mage is an easier class to start off with, too, so she might have a better time with that. I don't think early mage research has been too hard to level, but if you don't want to, there are also plenty of mages who will do research for you if you have the mats which you pick up fairly easily leveling. Otherwise I have seen druid/nec do some pretty cool stuff.

Well I'm going to give her a choice of a druid or mage. I will make an enchanter to level up with her and then switch to my necro once she is my level. I'm cool with her being either one.

My necro is only level 16, I was thinking if she chooses mage I might just stick with enchanter cause mage/enchanter combo sounds really good for duo camping at max level.

If she chooses druid no doubt I will switch back to my necro cause necro/druid is a badass duo. I grouped with a druid last night and we could basically chain pull even/yellow fights in oasis.

Nec/Dru is an amazing duo, plus the convenience is awesome... but yeah. You'll probably have more fun just finding the char she enjoys more.

My wife and I duo a mage / enc

~42 hrs played, levels 32 and 31, nuff said? note we're completely untwinked, these are our first characters.

Druid and necro is an extremely strong duo that complement each other well. If she does want a druid, then just make a mage to play with her till she hits 16 and switch.

If she wants a mage and you are just going to make a random class to get the mage up to level 16, the BEST choice is probably another mage.. I'm sure Jify would agree with me ;)

There is not much 2 mages are going to hunt low level that can't be killed together if you stick to white cons and below.

absolutely a druid, all the women I knew who liked everquest were 90% druids and they rock with a necro, heals and dots is exactly what a necro wants.
