Good char to duo with?

If she's never played, encourage her to pick a straight forward class. The more complicated classes like Enchanter, Shaman/Druid or Bard might discourage her. I'd recommend something like maybe a wizard(?), pick a target and blow it up.
Once that's decided, choose the other class as a compliment.

If my sig. other were interested in playing, I'd have her play a wizard, and I'd be a magician or a necro. Pet tank FTW. Or 2 pet classes.

Otherwise, I'd pair any chain/plate melee and a healer.

Edit: my brother and I played Shm/Nec and raped on live. This time were trying nec/enc. he has a fascination with the necromancer class.
