This skill challenge is ridiculous. There’s no way a necro can solo it, it shreds the minions like they were tissue paper. This despite the fact that a trait skill is making them 50% tougher.
This game is so ephing unbalanced sometimes. They pretty much force you to party with someone but give you no real mechanism for finding others who want to attain similar goals. I can get this kind of thing down to a tenth of a bar, but it wipes me out completely every freaking time.

There’s a “Veteran mining suit” over to the lower right side of Dredgehaunt that’s just absurd, too. Summoned no less than five minions in under 60 seconds, and overwhelms you… because the necro minions aren’t even half as tough as the Ranger’s pet, and they don’t draw aggro anywhere near as well, either. The dredge minions just run right past them most of the time and attack the player.
You do not need to party with anyone at any time during any kind of event, party system in GW2 is completely arbitrary. If nobody else is playing around the place you have trouble at, then you have the general map chat, use it, talk to people, socialize, make friends and you will find help fast and easy.
