Good duo?

[Auridan]

Hello all,

I tried searching for this but the search option wasn't very good at turning up results. A friend and I are about to join (him totally new to EQ, me coming back after years and years away) and I'm trying to think of a good duo for us to be able to play together up to 60 if we can't get groups or whatever.

He wants to be a druid, and I have an affinity for bards having played one in live, but I'm open to trying something new if it's a better combo for synergy (I can't imagine swarm kiting works with a second person).

Thoughts?
