If you are planning to duo a lot, then a melee isn't a great partner for a mage. Sure, some melees do have healing abilities, but that still would result in major downtimes if the melee isn't twinked very much.
So, what's a good partner for a mage? Surprisingly another mage would be great. Or if you want to shake things up, a necro. Or if you feel that you can handle it, an enchanter (beware: enchanter can get increbidbly powerfull, but in the hands of a beginner you will die horribly and often).
Druid can also be nice, but unless the druid charms (which can be risky) your DPS will be lower. My advice would be for you to take a mage as well. 2 mages can handle a lot. And even later in the game, when you need to chain summon, the second mage will make that practically risk free since aggro will always stay on one pet at least. With 2 mages you also wont get any pet xp penalty, that's only a solo thing.
