Enchanter + Wizard; War + Monk/Rogue/Wiz/Cleric; Cleric + Paladin; Ranger + Sham/Shd; Necro + Druid; Mag + Bard/Shd; Shd + Rog/Sham....

The main problems you run into are: spells don't stack (i.e. dots and roots), mana/health run out, no tank, or factions don't work together. Taking those things into consideration, you just want characters that are close enough that you can play together, and you want to find a camp that you can handle. You'll be fine.
