True barking, a lot of groups, especially while leveling, would gladly take the druid if they got an ENC in the bargain. The druid would also allow your group to travel to the "BYOG" exp locations and have some real adventure.

Given the discussion, go druid. You won't regret it.

Enchanter / Druid is simply the best duoing combo IMO.

With SoW, both chanter and druid can safely utilize charmed pet (animal for druid), and with grouping eliminating pet XP penalty, the 2 pets is gonna kill mobs real fast (especially with haste/pet buffs) and XP will increase at a very fast rate.

U can choose a shaman instead of druid, but the XP is not gonna be as fast as using 2 charmed and haste buffed pet for XPing.

If you decide to take a non SoWing class, charm killing might be a dangerous option for you 2.

Without SoW, snare still works if you cast it pre-charm. Helps a lot when dungeon crawling. Druid/ENC has the least overlap and the most potential duo-wise.

QFT.

My gf and I went shammy necro for our duo....because I couldn't get her to play a chanter with my druid.

If the enchanter is set in stone, go druid for sure. That duo does everything but rez and CH, pretty much.

Hey there - thought I'd add some anecdotal information to the mix.

I'm at 42 Enchanter, and I've been leveling almost exclusively with a Wizard. We were able to effectively two-man many camps (taking less pulls) throughout our experience so far, sticking to dungeons and enjoying the exp modifiers they provide.

Until the early 30's I was using a pet and debuffing mobs (usually just slow) and we would nuke heavier or more lightly depending on how the pet was doing.

After 30 we stopped using the pet, as it couldn't take the hits quite as well and it was holding us up.

We always root nuke, and the person with agro kites while the other roots. Oh - get used to being in troll form once you get it. Also, don't skimp on reagents for Rune once you start getting it - I start using Rune when HP is our bottleneck, and I will cast it any time I get below 70% life to let my hp get back to full as we kill.

1-8 we did Kobolds in Steamfont
9-14 Near Mino Caves in Steamfont
15-19 Nybright Sisters near Mistmoore in Lfay
20-30 in Upper Guk (Scryer to 24, Warden to 27, Lord area to 30)
30-35 guards in HighKeep
36-? lower guk (at 37-38 we could two-man the bedroom including all six frogs, all four bats, and some spiders)

Feel free to bug me in game if you have any questions - name is Jahno.
