I duo with my wife, who happens to be a Shadowknight.  We are only in our 30th season, but so far things have been a lot of fun.Advantages<ul><li>The SK holds agro very well in our duo, allowing me to use offensively-stanced pets (even the mage pet, can't wait for the assassin pet in a few levels).  We kill things quickly and pretty safely.</li><li>With her lifetap-wards and other lifetap abilities, she can really take a lot of damage without losing a lot of life.  We kill mobs around 3 - 5 levels higher than us without trouble, although for certain mobs we make sure her Harm Touch is up, just in case.</li><li>My buffs for STA and INT help her out as much as they help me, and her feign-death ability is priceless if I grab a bunch of aggro or get an add at a bad time.</li><li>Since both of us have dumbfire pets (my rats, her skelly), that added DPS is pretty impressive.</li></ul>Disadvantages<ul><li>If things get super-hairy, I can't heal her. (That will change when I hit 33 or so, with the Necro heal.)</li><li>Our crowd control is kind of limited.  I can do the fear-and-root thing, but the recast on fear feels a bit long sometimes.</li></ul>Personally, I love the combination.  We complete quests together without problems, can take down linked-mobs easily, I can go crazy with aggro-generating spells and she can FD and/or taunt them right back off of me... once I get the ability to heal her I don't think we'll be afraid of much.  Since she can heal herself with lifetaps, my little heal will be pretty significant to swing the hitpoints firmly into the green.Is it the best duo?  No clue.  But it works and is fun to RP (if that makes any difference to you).  Lots of fun!<div></div>

<P>IMO go with another summoner, pet groups are fun as hell, and you can really mow thru stuff fast.  You haven't lived untill you have gone somewhere stupid with a group of summoners!</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<DIV>pre guardian nerf I duoed with myself as a guardian, from november 9th till I quit early this year.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I am now back, and made a Defiler as well since I now have two computers, and since guardians are no longer wanted in groups, I trio with myself. Guardian/necro/Defiler.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Necro has exchange life, stuns, roots,fears etc that make a guardian a good idea imho.</DIV> <DIV>Any other tank would work just the same i suppose, one that can heal is probabbly your best bet <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

I love duoing with tanks and scouts. Of the tanks, SK's are my favorite for their ability to heal themselves and the fact that they have some really impressive DPS for a tank class. Zerkers are up there too as a favorite to duo with. <div></div>
