Cleric + Warrior duo

[Extunarian]

As far a shaman+war (or any melee) goes, in my duo'ing experience, GHeal+Regen+Slow was fine, and I didn't have to run my mana bar down to empty keeping the melee healed.
Obviously nothing can replace Cheal, but hopefully you don't put yourself in a situation where you would need it.

SHM+SK is a better duo and also a great start to a group just like WAR+CLR

as a former long time SK, I rate us higher as a group tank than warriors, but I am probably biased..

SK is definitely the king of the group tanks. In a strictly duo situation, they're even better. FD pulling, snares, snap aggro, self healing, and more DPS than other tanks (if you know how to thread your spells).

As for Cleric...it's hella boring. Shaman is by far the best healer for a duo. They bring more utility to the table than the other 2 priest classes, and while a Druid's ports are nice, there is absolutely nothing that compares to Slow, stat buffs, and mob debuffs. The lack of DS is somewhat of an issue (though partially fixed if you use an SK thanks to Banshee Aura), but DS is always more of a perk, and you can get pots.
