Shotgun, certain classes are perfect candidates for MC combos. Those classes are ones where the primary stats for each of the 2 classes are the same.

For example, the rogue and ranger classes mesh well because they share a number of common skills and they are both classes where DEX is important, due to those skills.

Another example is the Fighter/Pally of Helm MC combo. Aside from the fact that Pally's of Helm allow free MC'ing with fighter, the two classes mesh since both are "warrior" classes.

I also believe that the Fighter/Rogue is a solid MC combination. While a ftr/rogue combo will not maintain its skills as well as a ranger/rogue combo, the fighter levels will add more feats. I won't say that fighter/rogue is better or worse than the ranger/rogue combo. Both have their strong upsides. It's a matter of style and preference. The fighter/rogue will probably be a slightly warrior while the ranger/rogue will be a better in the skills.

Be careful about your multiclassing that you do not create MC combos that cause your character to get the XP penalty.
