Best caster combo with mage?

Which caster goes best with mage? I want to play frost mage and my friend wants to play a caster, cause he hates melee. What caster/mage combo gives highest survivability while still doing good dps? We plan to duo some lower level content, so healing might be necessary.

lock would be the only other caster that will also be useful in PvE and PvP

How about hunter?
Yes, its not a caster, but still a ranged. Both of you should have enough CC, and a pet to tank to make it works.

Let's think:

Druids:
+Doesn't share the primary use of cloth armor
+Can heal
- Melee forms may be important

Hunter
+Pets are really awesome
+Doesn't share cloth armor
- Quite common
- Some melee abilities

Priest
+Can heal
+Really not a melee
- Shares cloth usage

Shaman
+Can heal
+Doesn't share cloth
- Melee is expected to some degree

Warlock
+Has pets
+Can summon people
- Shares cloth armor
+/- Lvling is DoT-focused, might be bad on easy world mobs, good vs elites.


Anyone think of something more?


That said, I'd recommend a priest or a druid for your friend, assuming (s)he is willing to do some major healing, otherwise Hunter or Warlock.

I'd say either Priest or Hunter.

Priest:

Healing will help with all group content, it'll make it easier for you guys to just tack on any random player to complete basically every group quest in the game. The later Shadowpriest form will also allow you guys to roll out with 2 DPS to easily quest through most zones and experience some gameplay variety.

The gear overlap will be a bit of a bummer at times, but if you guys think you can get along well then I'd still say this would be the most fun combo.


Hunter:

Also a ranged class (for the most part) which will satisfy your friend's desire not to be a melee fighter. There won't be any gear overlap issues, which also helps in day to day drop distribution. The addition of a pet will provide a tank so that almost every group quest will not be an issue for you guys. Since you're both rolling as DPS at this point, getting groups will be slightly less quick but the server is populated enough that I'd say its not a major issue.

Another mage. You can AoE groups easily. You can also sheep two mobs and nuke/kite a third. I wish I had a mage friend to level with.
