Would any of these work well?

Necro rogue is a baller combo.

Druid/chanter! And don't dot rot... charm kill like you normally would, just with a snared pet and break and let the druid kill. Easy shmeasy.. heck even find a place where the druid can charm too... absolute pwnage.

Well you assume the necro would be exploiting an incorrect mechanic.

Shadowbond should siphon life from the necro, who would normally have to lifetap or leach it back. However here we have the broken "I can dispell my own siphon" which isn't classic and shouldn't work. But it does so I guess shadowbond is a decently effective heal here.

Necro/Chanter is the best out of those options by far IMO

Basically, if you want a true power duo, it must involve an Enchanter. The class takes skill and constant attention to play effectively, however (you will always be charming a pet, dealing with potentially dangerous charm breaks and re-charming), so if you aren't up for that then don't bother. Enchanter pairs well with Cleric, Shaman and Druid, each combo with various strengths and weaknesses. You can also pair with another Enchanter or a Necro, but those pairings require both players to be highly skilled and attentive, and are more dangerous if things go wrong.

If you want a powerful but lazy duo, then it's all about the Mage/Cleric. Especially with a High Elf Cleric who can more reliably land Lulls with their high CHA. Cleric has good CC with roots, stuns and lulls, and obviously brings the heals as well. Mage brings the DPS and the tank. This is a solid duo both outdoors and in dungeons. The only knock is that it might get boring for both players, since they will basically be doing the same thing over and over (/pet attack & nuke, or heal pet & root/lull mobs). But really, that's just EQ. You're either doing one thing over and over, or a few things over and over.

Mage/Necro is more of an outdoors leveling duo than a powerful duo, although a skilled Necro and Mage could probably do some dungeons. Definitely more dangerous than any other combo listed for dungeons, though, since it lacks both the true CC of an an Enchanter and the heals of a Cleric, which every other duo has at least in part. Mage/Necro would have to make due with the 2nd rate Necro CC and third rate Necro heals.

I am liking the concept of Druid // Chanter. Multiple ways we can duo, be it with charm, duel charm, root rot, ETC. not to mention great buffs and ports.

Fear or agro kiting with double charmed pets. Cheap and easy.

A Clicky BP Cleric and a charming Chanter are so OP it is scary. Both indoors and out. And the Cleric having Rez doesn't hurt either.

One of my main duos on live was Enchanter / Mage. It's a stronger combo than it looks.

It's also a pretty tough combo. My enchanter started out in a trio with my brothers (they both played mages) and it was downright OP at times but disastrous at others (wtb pet management). Overall there are so many more combos that work better than that one.

Gotta give points for style though - Mages always strike me as badass
