Here are some good duo's we have been thinking of, feel free to rate them:

a) Druid/Chanter

b) Chanter/Chanter

c) Shaman/Warrior

d) Shaman/Monk

e) Cleric/Chanter

f) Monk/Cleric

To me the theory of starting the duo is almost as fun as playing, and considering im at work 12 hours a day, theory is more often than not the only form I can get my EQ fix on.

Thanks to all who have replied to this thread thus far. Good stuff

ABD or E. Warrior duo is tough, although doable, they probably are better Warrior/Cleric. If you plan on having times where you won't be grouping together, Chanter/Druid is probably the better soloable combo.

I currently duo my druid with a Bard and it's pretty damn nice. Bard does the heavy lifting and gets aggro swarm kiting, then I start AOEing to help. I keep him buffed up and heal when needed. It works pretty well, and we also started from nothing with nothing.... We also have a Shaman/Monk duo (both Iksar) which also works great. We each also keep a toon for when the other isn't on, although since that's a Necro/Mage they could group together effectively as well I think.

Keep in mind on the xp that you share the xp fully (penalty or otherwise), so you level about the same rate when together, so the class/race combo isn't as important, other than being able to find each other if you start different races.
