I thought I was going to have to be the first person to say this, but you are a smart man.

If you want to play Everquest with just 2 people and don't care about (eventually) missing out on the content in the game that requires more than 2 people, then this is by far the overall best duo.

The power is in the Enchanter's pet. Even aside from Charm, the Animated pet is very powerful with the buffs between the two characters. Not being able to command the Enchanter pet doesn't matter because with the Druid there to patch heal (and snare), the Enchanter is free to chain pull by taking the initial aggro to get the pet involved in the fight.

The Enchanter provides the crowd control for dungeons (the Druid needs to help sometimes with Root as well) and the Druid gives you the mobility to easily hop around the World and go fight wherever you feel like. If you want to do outdoor camps, the Druid's ability to use harmony is king as well.

There might be a few dungeon areas a Monk + Shaman duo can pull by using Feign Death that the Enchanter + Druid duo wouldn't want to risk using Pacify/Crowd Control on, but there are also definitely scenarios an Enchanter + Druid can take that the Monk + Shaman wouldn't be able to. The Monk + Shaman duo is also more dependent on the Monk being able to get the best equipment to maximize their power, whereas equipment doesn't matter a ton with the Enchanter + Druid duo.
