Tentatively, I agree with everything here.I've built 2 relics (apoc mine, mandau my friend's), and along the way my friend and I tried various combinations. That I can recall some where:
BLU + THF
NIN + THF
NIN + DNC
THF + RDM
BST + BST (oddly enough netted less than solo, though probably cuz we didn't split up and use different camps)
DNC + THF (with and without subs)
DNC + NIN
Probably some I'm forgetting but you get the point. We compared all our duo runs to our solo BST runs. Why? Because our BST runs have been the benchmark to beat, heck I even compared my BLU/DNC solo runs which were better than my BST solos until my gear improved on BST. All our tests were post pet TH nerf.
The biggest reason we duoed was because it was more fun and allowed us to play more aggressively than BST/DNC solo not because it led to more coins. Until we started messing with DNC/00 + THF duo nothing compared to BST/DNC numbers solo, we still duoed because it was less boring and usually more amusing. You know that friendship and sharing crap you're talking about.
If you want safer then go BLU/DNC, well if you know how to play the job, as it isn't idiot/gimp proof like BST (this is general statement before you think I'm talking about you specifically and not the job). 1 shot TE stats, Light + Dark sleeps, ability to zerg a monster independent of JA timers, Curing from Waltz, MP, or WS. Oh and BLU/DNC can have TH2 since you think it matters that much.
