A naked necro is almost exactly as powerful offensively as a geared necro unless you are forcing him to tank, in which case necro and shaman are both DOA. Bone chips are everywhere and half the mobs in the game are undead.
It is just funny to hear someone say shaman is on par with necro soloing. I guess this is true if you consider time spent on CR when root fails "soloing". Necro can mez pull to pet and FD to break a camp, insta invis/root rot without pet (kunark), kite, has a pet that can soak up several rounds when needed, and maybe most importantly, a necro almost never has to run for the zone line. And with taps and allure line necros spend much less time at full health, low health, full mana or low mana than any other class. Any combination of full or low bars means there is or was an interruption to your solo flow.
If you are trying to max for dungeon soloing and you don't roll nec or enc then you're doing it wrong. Shaman is a solid third place.
