Me and kivik are nearly ready to try our minstrel + reaver duo. Soon we'll be able to report on that, so far it seems to be getting quite interesting. Trouble is that with the still upcoming changes to all sorts of melee lines, nothing is set in stone just yet. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
If I were to roll US

Only good if the bard is played well. But then it can kill almost anything - bard keeps casters interrupted, champ slams and then knocks stuff down before timer is over. In a duo like this you might wanna go for alot of MoPain. At least i did when i did this with Akagi a while back.
Alot of toys: Mezz, Demezz, Slam, Debuffs, ST, BoV, Zephyr, BG/BL ML(depends on playstyle) and so on.
Tried it: Can work out great, not with alot of inc adds all the time, damage is about the same as your warrior 2H so will always take a few hits to get em down.
To many choices tbh lol. How about a Mincer and a HO Polearmsman.
Rather go Polearmsman and Paladin. Now when the pala got celerity, you will be able to fuck any enemy up with the pole damage + celerity speed. Also you can both go for BG so you can help each other when needed, and both got shitloads of AF and hitpoints.
Seen this duo once, rocked bigtime!
Another duo which i've been doing the last couple of days on Temair is either Warrior+Aug healer, this tho, is most useful with healer hiding under bridge or such while warrior kills groups on top.
Also been trying some Warden + VW duo - celerity dmg r0x, and VW's are just OP as it is. So this duo really got potential too and i really think that if it's played right it can kill shitloads.

don't think brad is particular interesting in adding with shears etc
that worked well until u met more than 1 enemy.
Obviously Brad want to try a duo that can take out even numbers or more.
Forget casters in this thread, i don't play them there to easy.
Tanks/stealther combo's for me.
Tanks r the easy modes:touch:

Paccer+shaman is prolly the most fun duo I've played... You simply never die. And can slowly but safe grind your enemies down. (Though I've run into friars with HoT, and they simply can't be killed if they have the correct RA's and enough power pots :<)
Theurg+cleric is the most OP thing I've played. Loads of interupting, good nukes, speed. And a cleric is pretty much essential in a caster-duo imo. Else one of you will end up dead and it's booring. With the cleric, if you get jumped by 4 stealthers, the caster will prolly die, but PR, instas, buff-while-being-attacked and then throw in a MoC single large heal, can work you miracles. Survivability is the key!
Minstrel+inf = a load of fun. Esp if you have a duo partner to play with so you learn to play like a team. Vent is a must, atleast in the start. And it'll improve so much after some teamwork has been set.
In any realm, if I had to play visual tank duo, I'd choose something with speed. Running around without it is booring and useless, and you'll get ganked alot. All speed classes are great duo partners, for pretty much any tank imo.
Skald/thane is <3 though
Pala/arms is also alot of fun. Hand the pala BG and make sure he has a shitload of hps, shieldspec and AF, and you can kill most things. Problem is thanes/valks with slam, but I guess the near future will kill those rakna-spammer

Got SoS, AM2, IP2 on my mincer. Add to that FZ, PS, insta stun, mezz, speed, dd's for interupting several enemies etc, and you have an ace little duo with loads and loads of survivability
Just need to get a mincer and a BB. Hiola/weedolina make a mincer!!

Yeah, I've just not found it to be worth the pts yet. It's generally enough with AM2 to make them realize they're wasting their time and they attack me instead. And most of the time where AM3 could be needed we'd still die. It wouldn't be enough.

yeah, but "how" fun is it to sige towers all day
there is no towers on pve server :> only keeps.
to get rp on a pve server you do the following:
1. Get "Glowing Dreaded Seals" or "Sanguine Dreaded Seals" (same thing just sanguine comes in larger stacks) - 3600 rp per seal or like 4500 with full rp bonus
they drop from DF mobs in agramon and yellow+ mobs in labyrinth (you also get larger stacks from keep bosses that are annoying to kill due to them power tapping, mezzing, self ressing, calling xx purple adds, nuking etc.as manish pointed out tho it does get boring after awhile as you can imagine :/ at first i really enjoyed the server because the keep bosses were actually still quite hard despite them just being mobs, once we'd killed them all tho and knew how to effortlessly i lost interest
i still goto the server now and again just for a mess around tho.Edit: oh and the relic keeps are also very fun ;> unique named mobs there that are indeed hard (Especially the huge bitch that spawns 1 red/purple add for every person in the BG and hits like a frate train... we ended up with 200 red/purple adds one day ^^)

That mincer player really has to get used to dying alot thought
Eh, with FZ, PS, SoS, IP, insta stun and an inf being able to help him out with anything on him... He's got a load of survivability imo
