Does your wife want to be a rogue?

She can play the rogue and you can be a necro. You can fear mobs and she can stab them in the back. It's not the best combo because the necro can pretty much do that without the rogue but its not a bad combo at all.

SK/Shaman
Monk/Shaman

Those combos work well from level 1.

Necro / Necro works well from level 1 also and you can do a lot and have fun. It makes sense to make a combo like necro / mage just to have more variety of utility but it isn't neccesary.

Shaman + any melee is pretty great for straight forward everquest enjoying. The reason its a shaman and not a druid or cleric is because the shaman has slow and haste spells which make you much more efficient.
