New duo

This is probably my favorite game of all time, and my husband and I are restarting after a several year hiatus. I've found much good info by looking through past pages of this forum, but no good information on this question:

What class would be a good one to duo with a paladin, assuming we are both starting out fresh and untwinked? He was leaning towards either a sorceress or amazon... does either have a great advantage in playing together, or are there any skill choices I would want to make to better support the other class?
 
Necromancer. Make a summoner with a support cleric/auradin using fanat or concentration.
 
The Barbarian + Hammerdin combo can solo the game. The Barb gets a powerful boost to damage from Concentration, and the Pal gets a life and mana boost from Battle Orders. Also good at magicfinding together, as the Paladin kills once with mf gear, then the Barb comes and uses Find Item on the bodies with mf gear. Thats probably the strongest of a few good duos.
 
How odd that this post was moved when:

1. We're not playing classic. Xpack is installed and we'll be making characters on USWest.

2. It seems relevant to the paladin forum to ask who duos best with a paladin and if there are any issues more experienced people might see with what pairs well with them.

With that said, I appreciate the input. I definitely am looking towards a build that uses zeal as my memory of my former paladin was that I very much enjoyed the "ginsu" aspect of that character and would like to find one that complements it well and makes up for its weaknesses (and I do remember there being some weaknesses!)
 
Forget Zeal ... its fun ... but you won't be able to solo Hell.

Best combo would either be Baba + Blizzard Sorc or Baba + Hammerdin.

This because since 1.1x they severaly made it harder to complete the game (for hand to hand combar characters ;))

Life/Mana Leech has been reduced to 1/3 in hell, and IM does ALOT more damage returned.

Too bad you're playing Xpac. Because my knowledge of LoD is not up to par ;)
 
Zealots in expansion are definitely viable untwinked. At this point of the ladder, good unique weapons which work great for zealing, are extremely cheap, you can get them for 1-2 perfect gems. Other items (armor, rings etc) arent hard to get either.

You might do well with a Fanaticism zealot + skelliemancer combo. The zealot would really appreciate the amp damage provided by the skelemancer, and the skelemancer would enjoy having fanaticism on the skels. Dunno if you'd enjoy zealing at the front together with 10-12 skels though. I like it, but i can understand people not liking it, as it could make you feel like being just a little soldier of the skeleton army.

It definitely is a safe combo though, and it can get nicely through the game(while being fun).
 
Does one leech more from amped monsters ? Since one does, in effect, more physical damage.
