With two players the Druid, or Witch are the best choices for full caster. You could also go with a few other options that work well. Hunter, Inquisitor, or Warpriest. You will need some one that can heal. However you will also need some one that can fight. At low to Mid levels the monk will get over run buy bad guys. At higher level the monk can't deal enough damage to be the only front liner. Even if your focus on crowd control. The hit point totals are just to much for most characters to handle.

What about using summons to soak some front line damage?

That all points to cleric, either an old style battle cleric or a reach build.

Thanks for the response. All good things to consider. Going with cleric, what domains/subdomains would you consider? Being in a two person party, I'll have to be more than just pure support. I'm thinking that will likely affect this choice. Perhaps something that augments summons or at least includes summons as domain spells?

I would probably go for a druid. With only one caster you need to be able to cover all bases. Your party is also small so summoning is going to be a big help. With a druid you can convert any spell into s summon natures ally. You also have the cure spells on your list so you can use wands of healing to function as the healer. You have a decent amount of damaging spells, including area of effect spells. Without these swarms are a real pain to deal with.

Thanks for the response. Can't clerics also be summoners though? I know you wouldn't be able to spontaneously summon, but still. Also, would you say wizard is not viable just due to it's lack of healing?

Hey guys,

I have a question about the pros and cons of wizards and clerics. I am playing in party of only two. My partner is a monk. I'm wondering which caster would be a better compliment in this situation.

Also, in general, if you were only going to have one spell caster in normal size party, would you rather it be a cleric or a wizard and why?

Thanks.
