Advice for a new duo

[Toxigen]

Plus you can basically keep the druid / necro / etc in rags and farm to gear the SK at level 1 which would make for a much more enjoyable experience.

They'll have some zone / mechanical knowledge at that point too. SK + Shaman in rags with no game knowledge could prove to be a little tricky.

Even if they don't take the first duo of caster alts too far, having the funds for basic haste / HP gear / weapon and enough leftover plat to pre-purchase canni II would help tremendously.

And they'll have a port bot ready to go.
