I don't have a monk or a sham, but IMHO the most important thing is to make sure he's having fun and enjoys the game. If not, he won't hang around and it won't matter how good/bad your gear or combo are.
A buddy who I used to play on live with briefly joined p99 - I didn't give either of our guys any gear, figuring I'd do so at level 10ish so as not to ruin the experience...he quit at level 5 /doh!!
This game is way better with friends. Do your best to show him how fun it can be IMHO
