In a Druid/X duo where X is a melee, most the time the melee will end up wishing the Druid was a Shaman while the Druid could make faster experience quadding. A Druid can be made to work with a melee, just as most other non-optimal duo's can be made to work (my traditional duo was Paladin/Cleric, so I know!), but if you choose that option go into it knowing you're electing hard mode in a game where even easymode is still pretty unforgiving.
Choosing a second caster to pair with the Druid likely represents a safer choice. It's cheaper, too, usually, due to lower gear dependence. Enchanter works best, but if you don't want to be an Enchanter then the Necromancer, as suggested by nyclin, will also give adequate service. Most any other offensive casting type could be made to work tolerably well. Casters also ensure both players in the duo have the option to solo effectively in the event the other doesn't log on.
