Necro doesn't even need charm to be amazingly effective. It just puts them over the top even more.

They have too many tools in their disposal not to be incredibly effective in almost any group make up.

Like your example of rogue and sham duo and comparing necro to chanter. Necro doesn't need to charm. It can throw out snare and fear and let the rogue and sham go to work and let the rogue backstab. That's actually a really really strong trio that can handle multiple mobs at once. If the necro is using fear then the sham won't really need to heal or use a big mana slow so it can also focus on maximizing dps. In general this is something people miss about necro a. They do so much that they tend to also free up other classes to dps more too.

In fact if you have a chanter summoning and tanking in this equation, the rouge won't even be utilizing backstab.

Pretty sure you missed the entire point but that's aight.

If the goal is max exp per hour, as in getting the most exp you possibly can then refer to previous post, certain classes/comps are at the bottom of the totem pole in that regard.

If the goal of the group is to have fun+exp you can literally play any class you want, it will all be effective, and you can think of cool ways to kill mobs, and the exp will be fine.
