I mean I know a Druid can heal/root/snare, but I figured that would be better for full groups. And the Necro, I thought that was like the very LAST pick for any group or duo? I was under the impression that Necros offered very very little to a group or a duo, I thought they were a completely solo class only, and were the very last choice for most people to want in a party. Someone a few posts said something like a Necro is like the Mage, just better...or something of that sort. Maybe some of you can elaborate on that? I havent considered Necro until now because I thought it was the class people played alone and not with others?
Druids can heal and buff, but that doesn't really make them a preferred choice for most groups. Their heals lack enough punch to do the job at high levels, and their buffs usually are redundant because of the presence of a cleric or shaman. Damage shields are underrated, though, imo. Druid would work fine with an enchanter, providing extra damage, buffs and heals for the enchanter, help with root CC, and ports.

Necros offer a ton to a duo OR a group. They are underappreciated because a lot of people don't know how necros can use their HUGE variety of spells to great effect in many different situations.

i'm a mage and i used to duo fungi king/crypt with my buddy loraen back in the day.

can't say wizards can do the same =/

plus, you will get tells for exp groups as a mage.
Don't listen to this guy. Epic mages are unique snowflakes in the game, really, and if you start a mage with plans for having your epic pet and duoing the entire game with a donals cleric, you'll be disappointed for a very long time (possibly forever).

Also, Loraen has solod king, so obviously it is possible for an enchanter and a wizard (or any other class, for that matter) to duo it... even if enchanter+wizard would be a harder duo for king than something like enchanter + cle/sham/nec/whatever.
