Friend of mine is restarting EQ, and is going to pick a class that will duo best with my ranger, both now and most importantly into Velious. I'd like ideally to do difficult 2 man camps with the duo.

I was thinking the best option in the long run would be a cleric, as eventually the ranger will be able to slow (swarmcaller/epic/willsapper) and self-haste (sky cloak/eyepatch).

Shaman seems good also, but the lack of CH, and the eventual overlap of ranger being able to slow/self haste and the ability to get dain hammer/primals seems to negate almost all the buffing benefits of the shaman.

Any thoughts or other class suggestions? I guess necro could be decent also, but won't be able to keep up with velious mob dps.
