Any 55+ Shamans want to Duo Level with a 56 Monk?

Shadowbond is a fantastic heal, rogue pet or charm DPS is vastly superior to the shaman, 93% rez if sh!t goes bad, you can both FD, necro can heal himself after healing you, Lich is the best mana regen in the game so down time is nil. Necro root CC is second to none so you don't really have to worry about adds

Shaman has slow and haste which is great and all, but Necro DPS almost negates this perk IMO

I agree necros are an overlooked grouping class, but trying to say they are a better duo partner for a monk than a shaman is just ridiculous. Slow is arguably the most overpowered spell in the game, and on top of that they have regen, haste, hp, ac, stat buffs, and mana free dmg via jbb/epic.

Necros are good, but you don't need to over sell them with hyperbole. I think it'd be fair to compare a necro to a druid in terms of efficient duoing with a monk, but necros can't compete with a decently played shaman.
