D/Wd - third class?

I've just returned to Runes of Magic after about a year hiatus.

A real life friend is joining me this time around and I'd like to keep the use of my D/Wd and simply tack on a third class to play/level with him. However, I'd like this third class to be beneficial to my overall healing power as a druid.

I often play as Wd/D, too.. obviously to keep the level gap small, but truly prefer the healing position of a druid in groups.

Any suggestions? I can't seem to find a table of third-tier-class elite skills.

I'll be here a while as I calculate out all of my talent points and they seem to have been reset and I don't remember what I had points in. =(

Scout would give u better single target heals as a druid and and ward scout offers good dmg so i would think ward druid scout might work but not sure as i dont have 1 yet

warrior would also be a good choice.
d/w -> best group healers among the druid (some mistake d/w for a physical dps.. not quite true). Do keep in mind it's the hardest druid combo to play. 3 energy pools to keep track of (although after ch4 you can still heal without nature's power. but you'd compromise the effectiveness of your heals), need to stay closer to bosses to generate rage, need more survivability of other druids... but very very powerful healer.
w/wd -> probably top warrior dps
wd/w -> off-tank, maybe even main tank if you learn to play it.

But this is mostly academic consideration as you'd probably never gear up three full sets...

Imo scout is the best compliment for a druid and or warden class.

D/S is one of if not the top healling class combo in game. I can solo heal any instace up to grafu and sardo(trash hits waayyyy to hard to even be bothered with trying)

Wdn/S has had chiron buffed and he is now a beast dps character.

S/wdn is probaby the best single target dps characher as well. I'd say top aoe but its hard to surpass the mage or w/wdn aoe game.

The only thing to take into consideration of wd/s would be how often chiron dies during a run... I read that pets were supposed to have become more resistant to AoEs, but haven't really tried (and my warden is low level and COMPLETELY naked)

I appreciate all of the suggestions! I'd still like more as I haven't yet decided.

My worries thus far are that we still only have two equipment slots (and I really love the Druid/Warden combination) so it seems like it may be a hassle to have to keep track of my gear. I'm looking into classes now that use the same types of gear as either a warden or druid so that I don't have to swap out too much.

I like the Druid/Warden as a healer. I'm not in the end-game yet, but have been able to keep any group I've teamed with up for the most part. So, I'm not technically looking to replace this healer combination, but rather having the chance to assume a different role. Either as DPS/crowd-control.

I'm leaning towards the scout at the moment, but the mage is causing me the trouble. Both druid and mage combinations seem to fare very well but I haven't heard much about mage/warden or warden/mage for when I want to try something even different!

If it changes anyone's opinion, the character I will be playing this third class with often is a knight. He expects to go knight/warrior.

if you want to keep the same type of equiptment, go with mage for dps and crowd control, i know for a fact that m/d is a very fun class to play and i alos think that wdn/mage or m/wdn will be interesting to try, u don't see many of those...

It would be fun to have a unique combination.

However, I was just looking through some database at all of the skills and it seems that the scout option would be more fun to me all-around. I think I'm going to go ahead and finalize this!

Thanks again for all of the help! It's been a hard decision to make!
