Duo classes?

[travatron]

My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of EQ in its early days. We started in Kunark, and Velious was by far our favorite epac, so this server is just the bee's knees!

We always duod together, our mains were Monk/Shammy, and we had SK/Cleric alts. The monk and shammy could take on just about anything, at least until POP came out with the AC nerf (although we could still do quite well for exp camps).

So, we want to try something a little different this time. Thinking of druid/warrior duo because they'll level at about the same speed (that was a big problem for the cleric/SK) and, with the msaller population, having all the tricks a druid offers will be great.

Big concern though, is that the druid won't have the HPS to keep the warrior alive in the harder camps like the cleric did the SK. Or, Since there's no no slow like the shammy got to counteract the leather and lower AC of the monk, especially with no real pulling tools like feign splitting or mez. So, no CC (except root) and no slow leaves me thinking we're setting ourselves up for failure in the Velious camps.

Anyone have experience with this combo in this era? Will they be able to hold an experience camp down or camp some nameds? Or should we go back to Shammy/monk?

Finally, what is the server lacking, would a druid and warrior be welcome in groups at 60? I know we're way short on chanters, but trust me, you don't want me playing an enchanter!
