My money would be on the Necro, Necro would have a better supply of Mana while the pet would be wacking away at the shaman. while the necro would splurt the shaman to death. Shaman pet would keep Necro at full health and the Necro would have to do is dispell his pet anytime a slow landed
shaman pet wouldnt do **** for the necro. pets take on the resists of their owner. besides, if it did, one button to desummon it.
necro mana supply relies on them having a source of heals, something not guaranteed in a duel if you're talking about well geared chars.. or the shaman hitting infusion. shaman mana supply is huge too, and doesnt depend on the opposing player's resists.
splurt's also not a really-good resist check. It's pretty simple for a bazaar geared 70 to have over 200 resists these days. Panther/leopard are a -300 check, compared to splurts -100.
