Haste and Slow are OP, no doubt.

Necro. Cele heals, pulls, pet backstab dps, charm mob, undead synergies.

I think you could probably duo with just about any class, but as said by others, Bard will be the most helpful. Sadly Paladin is not really the best duo class, so nearly all your choices will be you carrying him.

A class that can haste, that can also provide mana regen is ideal. Bard can mana and health regen, but youve got to be within range. Shaman can health regen, but can only mana regen themselves. Enchanter can mana regen, but no health regen at all. All 3 can haste, which is badly needed. All 3 can slow, but its a huge aggro generator. Hopefully your buddy can keep aggro.

I think bard is the ideal option because you both can be running and gunning at the same time, whereas a pure caster is going to be needing to med all the time. With health, mana and haste being constantly twisted, Paladin can tank and heal himself as necessary.

Buffing up a charmed mob and letting it chainsaw mobs while CHing is just about as fast of kills as letting two mobs kill each other and getting the exp for both. And ironically, the latter is safer, since if you buff a charmed mob to the point where it does as much dmg as two mobs beating on each other, it can do the same to you. The only advantage to #1 is that it is brain dead easy to pull off when everything goes right. Paladins can't do #1 but they do a better job at assisting #2 since they can melee the last 5% HP, as opposed to nuking which is expensive for the enchanter or a cleric. The paladin can heal an enchanter about as well as a cleric can since CH is useless, and they have emergency agro and tanking tools as well.

This forum needs a like button. Well said.

Highest single target duo would be with Shaman, but with the giant caveat of "only after torpor".
Highest speed killing for exp/multiple target farming potential 1-60, would be enchanter

Ultimately I think the OP the right decision though. Even if the druid never levels past 19 it's nice to have one for errands.

Go with wizard! I think that would be a blast. Pally pulls and heals himself, wizard only needs one good spell to mostly kill anything. You get ports and lots of fun clickies.
