There is nothing stopping you from running a duo lone wolf party. In fact, it is a very strong option.

You can play with up to two characters and the bonus from lone wolf for either of them or both of them will still apply. You can even have three or four characters but then the character(s) with lone wolf will lose the lone wolf bonuses temporarily until you reduce the party size.

Some people, myself included, just want the game to be more challenging and by running solo it forces you to think more carefully and more strategically. Also, in a new fight you may die a lot but as long as you keep learning and adapting you will eventually overcome the challenge. And it will feel that much more gratifying if it was difficult to overcome. In my case I am currently playing with Sebille. So playing solo also suits her persona and I typically like to role play decisions in game not as myself but how I think the avatar I am controlling would think and feel. For example, I may play duo when I play Beast (and his friend will have to be a dwarf), because he seems like the type that knows how to lead and delegate (but more of an outlaw type versus The Red Prince who might have a concubine or servant accompany him).

Have you tried a 4 character non-lone wolf party? You can get some hilarious combinations going after you respec in Act 2, or if you do the 4-client custom party from the get go. 4 death knights? Pain train! 4 Summoners? They won't know who to hit! Etc.

I am not trying to deter you from doing a solo or duo lone wolf run. I am just throwing out ideas. I encourage you to experiment and find which setup is the most fun for you. I can nearly guarantee that there will be several if not many. Have fun!
