2 player team

IMO, one of you should make a cleric in any case if not for playing, but for buffs and heals when needed. You can multiclient with 2 chars here and healer won't hurt.
I agree with your friend, ep-bm is good choice, also ep-barb, veno-veno, veno-mystic, sin-seeker... There are a lot of decent combos, but the best one is when you both play classes you like most of all

this. there really arent any bad combos. mystic and veno would be a good combo. you got veno for hard hitting magic damage and debuffs and the mystic class is like a combo of cleric and veno. you got decent healing skills and offencive magic and your pets hit pretty hard. you can also heal each others pets.

And in the end i would say that any combination can be good if you learn the basics of your teamate class and if you enjoy playing the class you selected.

Having experience in Duo of my Wizard and Cleric I can say, that it is possible, although AA (arcane classes) require best equipment to tank bosses (in comparison with melee classes).

Also fight of caster with boss is longer in most cases because of low dps of the caster (I say about Wizards especially - stormbringers have better dps, for example) and possible interruption of the spells.

To tank some bosses, like in bh69, you will require super expensive equipment.

Tomorrow my Wizard will equip some armor, weapon, ornaments for level 70 (now he is level 69 only) to do my cultivation 49 (he had ~3.5 k buffed physical defense, so had not possibility to kill Khewy, Rattus Lord).

I run BM/Cleric on dualclient myself often and can attest - it is a very potent combo. The BM is a survivable class and on an APS combo, it can pretty much manage itself. BMs also have an aggro forcing primal skill that works much like flesh ream, in case a boss decides to random aggro on your healer. This leaves the cleric free to debuff, purify, heal and if everything manages itself, even dd a bit. On high damage single target bosses that don't interrupt, cleric can just BB instead (Snakefist / BH WS is an example of this). If you're going to add characters for buffing, add a sage asassin for bloodpaint and a barb for the phys buff and HP increase. A decent BM with BP pretty much heals itself.

BM+Sin may be tempting, but if you got anything phys immune in the mix you'll run into problems. Anything that requires regular purify can also be an issue unless you go 4-ish APS on both in which case they'll spark every 20 secs. BM/Cler can get away with less expensive gear. It's a bit slower, but more reliable.

Personally I believe if you're making a pair, an ideal situation would be 1 physical damage character + 1 magical damage character. Even better if the magical damage character has healing abilities, especially if you're thinking of duoing all the dungeons and doing all the farming exclusively and early.

Alternatively if neither of ya'll are super into the traditional magical characters, the combo of Seeker+Sin is very effective; the damage factor is pretty high, plus the bp pretty much has the heals covered, and the Seeker can take on physical resistant/physical immune things with their quasi-magic/physical attacks.

Or conversely if physical dd isn't your styles, stick a Cleric or a Mystic with pretty much any other magical class for full spectrum awesomeness.

In the end I guess I feel the important thing is to have the duo playing two different types of characters with different strengths and weaknesses to overall balance out the situations they can get into. Just make sure you actually -enjoy- playing the characters, because nothing sucks more than making a character just to fill a need, I've known people who have done that and have been miserable with their choice with too much time and money invested.
