Thanks for the info all, considering everything we went with the shm/nec and it's definitely been great and faster/more synergy all around so far.

End game raiding isn't really on our radar anytime soon so definitely seems like the necro will offer more power immediately as a duo, just need to get keyed for hs/seb and start poking around.
The only time NEC/SHM offers more power than MNK/SHM is when there is absolutely no access, at all, to decent gear. And the thing is, for a MNK in this era, decent gear is very, very cheap. There is lots of very very good AC gear for a MNK costs 50pp to 100pp a piece, with a haste item only costing 2k and decent weapons well under 1k a piece, there is just no way that a NEC can complete.

I wonder if the Monk has loads of stats on their gear instead of AC/HP and he's feeling stale because his gearing choices are making him weak. Always remember, stats do not work in any meaningful way in EQ.
