Experienced player duo with total newb. Enc/Clr?

[DMN]

you can pretty much pair any priest class with enchanter and it will be strong. But you are probably best off asking if he thinks he would prefer druid/shama/cleric. much more important is that he enjoys the class he plays. very few people enjoy playing clerics -- and for good reasons.

I want to stress this: Cleric/Enchanter is a hugely effective duo, which won't do you a lick of good if the cleric quits because he hates the thing. There are folks who enjoy playing clerics as mains, but they are few and far between. One of the other priest types, in particular, could sit back and play "cleric-like" at first with more options to branch out and do more as the player becomes more experienced with EQ. It's something to consider, even if you consider it and ultimately choose cleric anyhow.
