Last week we asked you to submit your questions for a new feature, Ask WoW Insider. Every week we'll pick a question out of the box and publish it for you, the readers, to help answer. This week's question comes to us from Christopher: "What do you think is the best duo team for PVP or grinding? I thought about it for a good two weeks and haven't come to any conclusions. Thanks."We imagine you'll have a lot to say on this topic, so let's hear it -- what team of classes do you think makes the best duo for PVP or for grinding? Feel free to include two sets if you feel a different duo is warranted for each. And don't forget to drop us a line with your questions for Ask WoW Insider -- send them to ask AT wowinsider.com. Thanks!

For grinding there are two amazing combos.
Discipline Priest+Mage
(Reflective Shield+Power Infusion+Aoe=hax)
Or Warlock+Felguard
(No description necessary)

Best duo for PvP IMO: Shadowpriest or 'lock for DPS & Shadow/Holy priest for healing. GG
I don't have much experience in PVE so your guess is as good as mine =P
Peace.

The answer: Dan and Paul
Yeah, you're thinking "What?! Those aren't classes!" That's right, it's my buddy Dan, out in Seattle, and me, up here in Saskatoon. We've each got a stable of 60's, and duo together with any 2 of them. We've gotten to the point where we understand each other's gameplay so well, that we predict each other's moves and act accordingly.
So really, I think if you can find someone you play well with and get along with, you'll grind really well.
We've tried warlock/pally, warrior/priest, hunter/shaman, rogue/druid, and pretty much every other combination with those classes.. We just don't slow down for anything.

best duo for pvp?
Warlock + Warlock. Affliction specced = uberGG.
Heck, I soloed in the arena vs a pally/rogue, and I still managed to win. did 16k damage too =) (pally shielded and healed himself and rogue to full.) (as a Aff lock)

For the PvP Arena 2v2 system, I can guarantee you that a majority of the duos on the top of the ladder will contain 1 of the following 2 classes. Paladin or a Warlock. The two together would make a very strong combination. In fact, a Paladin with any other class (preferably high DPS) is going to be very hard to beat.
My personal favorite for 2v2 Arena...Druid/Warlock.

For PVE leveling, Druid and Rogue. Very versitile.
Tank/DPS
Healer/DPS
DPS/DPS
and can stealth past mobs to speed up certain quests/quest lines.
Me and my friend's mains (starting way back when) were/are a rouge and druid and even though it was the first time either of us had played an MMO, we burned through to 60.

At the moment, two Warlocks. Seriously. One need only see the damage they do in 2v2 Arena right now to swear off entering it entirely.
In BC, probably a well-geared hybrid and DPS. The hybrid could be used to heal the DPS, and if things get hairy can switch into DPS themselves. Plus, Paladins and Druids right now are doing some scary damage.

A friend and myself run a Shadow Priest/Aff Lock combination. We are both 49, so its not the same as 60. But we can hold our own against anybody in the 2v2 arena and BGs.

Currently My buddy and I have lvld up since lvl 10 together. Weve solod every instance so far and do pretty much all quests just the 2 of us.
I'm a lvl 42 druid now. He is a lvl 43 warrior.
We just finished soloing all of SM at 41 druid and 42 warrior.
I heal while he kills. I also help kill and step out to heal when needed.
PvP works about the same. I can hold off horde long enough to allow him to deal dmg and I can heal him and myself.
Once we hit 70 and start going into arenas I cant see us being beat.

Warlock/Priest is the easiest time my wife and I have yet had in the game. We've duo'd hunter/druid, paly/priest, rogue/priest, druid/druid...none of them can stack up to the ease of the entire game 1-60 that a lock (preferably affliction) and a priest (pref shadow :P), can handle. The entire game has seriously been an absolute breeze with that combo.
Just my .02 copper...

My girlfriend and I have had an absolute blast playing our Druid Duo. I tank/dps (feral spec) while she heals/dps (resto spec). Im a skinner/leatherworker, she's a tailor/enchanter. We stealth pasts mobs we dont want to fight (or to go back to get a quest she missed in a dungeon). I can tank or DPS PUGs (feral gear is pretty versatile for bear/kitty forms when you get the right gear), while she heals very well. We're mid 50's now and haven't PvPd yet, but we were looking to start doing that soon (I think its going to work well).
I like it better than the druid/rogue because bear form allows us to do pretty much any content in the game. I think we're going to try a paladin/priest combo when the expansion comes out.

Me and my boyfriend are a rogue/druid team as well.
Being able to stealth together past mobs is awesome. Our dps is great together, nothing lives long. When there are alot of mobs, he just goes bear. He barely (lol bearly) has to even heal us with his imp feral skill. We can't wait to try out our dynamic in BC.
And let me tell you, grouping with a druid is always a good idea when it comes to doing dungeons. The fact they can become a healer/tank/dps based on what's needed helps you get into groups much easier.

PVE
---
Any class that can hold aggro (tank) + a healing class (healer)
Tanks: Warrior, Paladin, Feral Druid, Shadow Priest, Shaman, Warlock, Hunter
Healer: Paladin, Druid, Holy Priest, Shaman
PVP
---
DPS class that is good versus any other class + another of the same type. Rogue and Mage is probably the best combo since these two are the highest damage dealers.
http://www.wowwiki.com/Class#Class_table
DPS: Rogue, Mage, Warrior, Warlock, Hunter, Shadow Priest

My favorite combo for grinding is warrior + mage.
They compliment each other perfectly. Warrior holds the aggro and protects the mage, the mage does the damage and kills the mob. After each battle, they take a quick break and the warrior eats and the mage drinks his water. Then they do it all over again. They work together in synch, so it all just seems natural.

Everyone needs to stop talking about how warlocks are overpowered. Not because I disagree with you (because we are seriously op), but because I don't want to get nerfed :)
Warlock + Warrior has always worked out well in pvp for my husband and I. As for pvp though? I really couldn't pick just two.

Whoops, typo in my last comment. Switch out that first example of "pvp" and make it an example of "pve" :) Sorry

I'd say Pally or Druid with a Rogue. The utility of either, plus a decent stunlock, can keep most things still long enough to die... and if the Rogue is taken out, a combat rez goes a long way.
