Why not druid? You get a nice DS as a tank, druid can heal, sow, port you all around... there is never an issue with DoT stacking, and you can easily travel later. Druid + SK complement each other very well. Druid can't fear anything beside animals, but SK can. Druid snare is much cheaper and easier for fear kiting. Plus, at 39, you get a great melee buff when the druid turns you into a wolf.

If she wants to play a caster, a druid is the most caster-like of all priest classes.

Like many have said both druid and shaman get SOW, and thats so incredibly helpful to untwinked players it deserves mentioning again.

Shammy - DOTs, pet later, regen, heals, sow, not gear dependant, good mana regen with canni.. only real annoyance i can think of with the combo is the shammy HP buff line doesnt stack with the necro Shielding.. well that and Shammy starting areas are nowhere *near* Necro starting areas... Everfrost and Qeynos (if the necro goes Bertoxx) maybe, and even thats a huge reach.

Druid - Heals, regen, ports later on, CHEAP SNARE, tracking, magic based dots, sow, Skin-Like HP buffs stack with necro Shielding. And druids are good races, so the druid can bind anywhere and port out to druid rings to be the designated seller/banker of the acquired lewtz.

The OP wanted to know what compliments a necro well. Both are very solid choices. SK can certainly work, but theres such a large list of advantages going priest that it's not even a min-max thing, it's turning your back on a ton to get weaker versions of the same spells, the lowest possible melee dps, a high need for expensive gear to outfit a tank, and an XP penalty to share (even worse if troll or ogre is picked) for all the trouble.

As i always point out in these threads, if you do stick SK/NEC, pick human or erudite and snap up all the low priced Flayed Skin armor in East Commons you can. Lotta bang for the buck there for both classes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

thanks for the nice tips guys. Unfortunetly I dont want to play a class i dont like even if its a good combo so a shammy or a druid are not an option for me and my friend wants to play a caster. She wants to play a character that wears cloth so i doubt she likes druids even if they can nuke very well.

Do you think a Magician + necro combo would be an option? i dont remember if mages can heal their pets but if they can the "1 tank pet + 1 dps pet + two healers" can be interesting.

If not i supose ill go with Paladin (me) + Necro/Magician/wizard (my friend).

Im not playing yet becouse im having technical problems, i have 2 PCs, in none of them i can run EQ :/
