Slower - duo set up:
Necro - Summon/Curse/Corpse Explosion.
Pally - Melee w/ auras of your choice (Thorns, Might, etc), respec into Blessed Hammer later levels, especially nightmare. (Skele's also benefit from Concentration aura).

Medium - duo set up:
Barb - Melee. Can go Double Swing or One handed for more meatshielding. Shout is great at lower levels, especially when paired with a caster. Battle Orders for later difficulties will help save you two in Hell Chaos when there is not enough quick damage output.
Sorc - Teleport & Static Field. Firebolt/ Fireball at lower levels, 'Leaf' Runeword staff very easy to make. Cold is the way to go though later on, most people prefer Blizzard. I prefer Frozen Orb, it seems to be quicker for my play style when I am constantly teleporting.

Fast - duo set up:
Sorc- Same as above. ^
Assassin - Versatile in ground speed, self defenses and damage output. Fire Trap at lower levels, switch to Lightning Sentry later on.

Fastest - duo set up:
Sorc - Same as above. ^ Preference. <Opposite>
Sorc - Same as above. ^ Preference. <Elements>


*If you choose Necromancer, I recommend making an Edge Runeword Bow for an Act 1 Merc. Provides a level 15 Thorns aura and you can use it too for reduced vendor prices.

Any two character builds are doable for Ladder Reset, for softcore that is. Choose what you two would have most fun doing separately, then collaborate your decisions and see if it will work well against the minions of Hell. You'll figure something out.
Ultimately it comes down to what you will be farming in Hell difficulty and late game. What would prefer to magic find with when looking for gear? What is your most favorite or efficient way to kill when comes to PvM?
