For pure leveling speed, you cannot beat bardx2, except maybe bardx1, but then you lose a massive safety factor.

Silo, I commented on bard/bard, not bard/rogue. Where are you getting this "backstab" skill from? Transitioning to bard/rogue (for your benefit), the rogue killing one mob again and again while the bard does the kiting work is vastly inferior to a single bard (or bardx2 if you have the single target DoTs you think are so worthless) kiting a whole zone and killing it. Granted, it will take those bards longer to kill 100 mobs than it will take the rogue to kill even 30, but there's still 70 extra mobs of EXP that the bards come out on top.

To Silo69, and any others who may not know, AoE leveling is the fastest leveling method in the game. Period. And bards do it better than any other class(es). The closest comparable AoE leveling group to BRDx2 is ENCx2/WIZx2/CLR/puller. But now you're splitting experience 6 ways instead of 2.

Now that the "fastest exp rate" argument has been settled, "most diverse" duo goes to ENC/DRU. Best "melee" duo is MNK/SHM.
