We are having a hard time picking our class choices. He’s thinking about be a warrior but does not want to die non stop in the open world. I want to support him but not sure if i want to heal as i think they struggle when solo.
We want to do lots of open world pvp, we want to be able to dungeon together without hindering our chances to get a group together. Id love your feedback as classic quickly approaches and we cant seem to decide on our classes. Were open to any class recommendations and what you guys think might be the best fit for us to duo on.

Seems like Warrior - Priest is what you are looking for.
You can still heal dungeons fine as Shadow and just being able to dispel magic off him will turn him into a powerhouse.

Hmmm I dont really know, maybe something that combos together. Best of luck!
Warrior + anything. Warrior + Paladin, Warrior + Shaman.

can’t go wrong with being a shaman and a warrior or a mage and warrior or a priest and a warrior. maybe even a priest and a shaman
Warrior pairs extremely well with Priest, Shaman, and Paladin. Conveniently, all four of these classes are highly sought after in groups.
Even if you don’t put a single talent point into the Holy or Resto trees while leveling, you can still do well enough to heal any dungeon group along the way. And as long as you don’t pull too much in the world, you can still keep him up just fine with the occasional heal here or there. If you’re not a Priest and head into dungeons as a healer though, be sure to have some gear that boosts Int and/or spell power. A Paladin in DPS gear CAN heal, but shouldn’t. Save yourself, your friend, and your group a lot of headaches, and keep some good cloth pieces in your bags.
If you want to get a tryhard’s opinion on the best class pairings, check out the “Duo Leveling Guide” by Kargoz on YouTube.
What about at 60 though? I don’t think leveling is that big of a deal
Healing classes in classic heal just fine without being specced for it. It’s not like retail where your spec determines everything.
I think you might need to pick one.
You will have most fun as a dual DPS team in PvP, but you’re going to suffer for it when grouping, whereas if you go a tank / healer combo you will be in high demand for dungeons but PvP is incredibly dull.
You could do a DPS & tank or healer, which would help getting dungeons, but it may effect the fun you have in PvP.
Fixed, that was one hell of a typo my friend.
Warrior + Druid
Can tank dungeons if he wants to DPS or heal dungeons if he wants to tank.
Druids are much more survivable in open world PvP than a Priest. Only downside is though Battle Res can get your buddy up in combat if the odds are too stacked you won’t be able to run away and revive him later without blowing the cooldown.
I can tell you the one pair we used to Dread in BG’s
Paladin and a Druid running around killing us all, healing each other, I learned to stay away from those.
