Best class to Duo with Necromancer?
It depends on your build and where you are going. That said, I think mesmers have some good all-around synergy; we don’t have much crossover in condition builds and can epidemic their condition stacks, they can timewarp us in Lich form for the highest damage in the game.
Another good one is Guardian. Between necro disables and Guardian boon spam, you’re a practically invincible duo. A Guardian with a hammer lets you turn one poor soul into a condition bomb delivery system quite well.
Necros are really strong with any grouping, because we are attrition classes. You will fit better with specific classes based on builds, but one of the benefits of the necro is that we are great teammates to work with.
Best – was already mentioned with Lich Time Warp
Runner up – Full zerk warrior with heal necro
Honorable mention if leveling with a friend and story mode dungeons Engie and/or Hunter can actually just combine their summons with minions for a small army that works on pretty much everything till adelbern in AC without even needing to really trait for them.
55hp monk.
Seriously tho, anything is good with anything as long as they don’t overwrite each other’s roles.
pve – caltrop spamming thief.
pvp – mesmer with confusion, longsword warrior (possible 5 second immobilize and 14 stacks of bleed), burn duration guardian
Has anyone tested if the Ranger spirits buff minions?
Edit: just had a guildie help out, spirits do buff minions, meaning a spirit ranger+ 4 MMs could be interesting.

Turrets+Spirits+Minions can actually “3 man” most story mode dungeons as mentioned.

I levelled to 80 as trap ranger with a necro, and that went very well as nothing much reached us. I didn’t bother with spirits although that sounds like an interesting idea.
As a power necro, I really like rolling with an Altruistic Healing specced hammer guardian. The control you have with this duo, is unmatched. Very fun fights.
Runner up is full zerker geared rifle Engineer. 25 stacks of Vuln is super nice, between Axe/focus and engi stacking. Vulnerability might be the most under appreciated condition other than weakness.
80 Necro “a dying breed”
Fort Aspenwood
Sword Warrior with Healing Shouts, can help you stack to 25 bleeds with minimal effort.
Mesmer with a staff is awesome for massive condition spreading.
Oh, I think someone already mentioned it, but Guardians and necros go together really well, they basically have everything we don’t (boons, ALL the boons), and that lets you spec a lot more towards damage and still being really strong.
