Perfectly viable duo from 1-60. In fact, if you exclude the traditional OP duo classes (ENC, CLR, MNK, SHM) this is probably one of the better duos in the game. Very strong tanking and CC, good healing, tons of DPS. Deepwater Helm and Burnt Wood Staff will both be tremendous in this duo at 45+, and will do a lot to help offset the lack of slow by drastically increasing your efficiency. Both of these classes can easily solo to 60, and they just so happen to almost perfectly offset each other's weaknesses (Mage: lack of CC, Pal: lack of DPS), so teaming them up them is almost a no-brainer.
