Some good Necro skills are Spiteful Spirit, Parasitic Bond, Enfeebling Blood and Suffering. All from the Curses line. Signet of Agony, Life Siphon and Unholy Feast are pretty good from the Blood Line. The Death line is a bit harder to pull off but possible, Putrid Explosion, nerfed though it is, works, Minions/fiends aren't too bad, but going Minion master route isn't that great, and very hard to get started with.

Warrior and Monk are the obvious secondary choices for the wide array of damage mitigation and avoidance stances/enchantments.

Elementalist can be a good choice with some points invested in the Earth line, Armor of Earth, Magnetic Aura, Kinetic Armor and/or Ward vs XXX all are good choices.

Mesmer has less to offer, but the Inspiration skill set has some skills that will make you look hard at it as a secondary. Front and foremost is Channeling, Physical Resistance, and Mantra of Concentration. Mantra of Persistance is good if you go the route of Illusion magic for Conjure Phantasm, Phantom Pain and a few others.

Ranger, I feel, has the least to offer as a secondary for a Necro primary farming. The spirits don't really affect you overly much, the traps make the monsters scatter now due to the patch and beast mastery on a Necro is kind of... ridiculous, when you have the ability to make dozens of minions with your primary.

Hope this helps some. Most, me included, will not post a full build and whereabouts of where we farm because it gets nerfed if it becomes wide spread knowledge.

Actually ranger secondary has a lot to give to minion farming. If you are using fiends, Favorable Winds and Winnowing are great minion buffers.

Favorable winds has been proven to not affect bone fiends. also my concern is staying alive........ like after i get groups of griffons lets say together how i can kill em off with spiteful and stuf like that but how do i stay alive while they are hitting me.....i drop like butter on a stove.
