What would be some good ideas for a fourth necro? I was thinking an additional minion master, but with stronger minions like flesh golem, instead of weaker minion bombs. And also have him carry additional restoration spirits, but that role would be better suited by bringing razah along.

I use both sabway and discord so a fourth necro that could fit in either team would be ideal.

Is better not to use a fourth (or any more) necro, stick to 3 with either discordway or sabway (1 curses, 1 MM, 1 healer with either discord on them all, or SS, SV + a Minion elite).

For the remaining heroes stick in a pair of rits with SoS + Sig of Ghostly Might each with a resto splash for some heals, then for the last two spaces try a pair of mesmers with panic + ineptitude.

After that, the game will become stupidly easy. Just switch the necros between discord or sabway based on what works better in whatever your doing. The only challenging thing left will be UW and DoA, and maybe some of the dungeons.

You honestly shouldn't have room in your party for a fourth necro. 2 Rita and 2 mesmers should be a staple of your team

if u running discord, bring another discord <-- but dont run discord, its kinda meh....

if ur running sabway, bring a PI/Panic, Ineptitude or Fevered dreams (depending on ur class), a SoS Rt, and an ST/SoGM.... i wouldnt really bring a 4th nec with that considering sabway kinda covers all the necro stuff ya need (SS, enfeebling, minions, infinite energy healer)

As mentioned earlier I would use a spirit build of some kind. It is more versatile in areas without corpses. Also, it is unclear if you are one of the necros. If you play a necro I would go with some kind of AP caller build. Since you already use Discrodway it would synergize well with what you are already comfortable with.

If your a warrior then you might die with 3 nec 2 rit 2 mes

You would only have one primary healer, plus whatever support the rits have (soul twisting will be needed for you).

The build is best suited for pure offense, with one of the healing / support roles taken by the player character (particularly for ellys and rits, play ER or Soul Twisting yourself, have all of your heroes pumping out damage, even the healer with a damage elite).

You are actually fine with 4 necros, if you are using two of them as healers.
