My only advice is 'pick something which can look after itself'. If an enemy's too tough for you, the stalker, and you placate them, guess who they're going after instead?

Either one looks good. Doms look like they were designed to complement stalkers anyway. Seeds will help with aggro, and holds will increase the stalkers crits. The MM can tank a bit and has some great debuffs, although you might want to pick up the medicine pool to heal your pets. I think its really down to which one you would prefer to play though.

Necro/dark MM would be a good mix between dom style holds and MM. You can see critical from held enemies and get the great debuffs and heals 
For quicker levelling, another stalker is the best pick, but ghosting till boss time after time is boring after a while
From experience an Ice Dom and a EM/Nin Stalker makes a good duo.
Ice Slick and Caltrops are a good way to stop the aggro from getting out of control, plus as mentioned the added chance of Critical Hits from held mobs is always a good thing.

Hey all.
I would be very happy if you can aswer what would be a better partner for duoing with a stalker (not sure but probably nb/nin); a plant/thorn dominator or a mercs/traps mastermind.
Thanks in advance.

For me I'd prefer that Merc/Traps MM - easier to get 'lost' in the organised chaos that is the Mastermind style. As mentioned already, not having complete freedom of using placate incase you get your dominator friend killed isn't too great

I think it depends which dominator sets are used and how the dominator wants to play. Its perfectly possible to lock down a whole spawn using a dominator. I dont think using placate is instant death to the dominator.

My choice of partners can vary. A good partner can be from any AT really. However some are better than others, and can largely depend on what mish you are doing and how youi like to do them.
For duoing and general ghosting mishes with, you just cant beat another stalker (Big shout out to Boo Cat), or at least someone with invis. Double AS will kill most bosses with just a quick follow up, ghosting mishs becomes very fast with good exp, and you understand each other, pick your targets and go to town.
For kidknap, rescue type mishs, a good MM is often my fave, they can take the flak, and have the pet, while I can run point.
A good dom, esp a plant one, is great for a stalker to team with, those extra crits are always nice and a well controlled mob is what we really love.
A corr is often my last choice esp for a duo, ive killed too many of them cos of placate.
Brutes are a mixed bag. Brutes make us look bad. When they get rage focus and just run on a head, we often cant keep up, and dont get to use our AS on troublesome mobs as we would like. However, when you just want something to take the aggro for you, and nothing else is around, they can serve their purpose as cannon fodder for you. If there are more than one brute on the team, or the brute is dictating the pace, ile often leave the team, it just gets too messy for my liking.
So in order:
Stalker (for general)
MM (for kidknaps)
Dom (kidknaps)
Brute (kidknaps)
Corr (for helping them with their debt badge)
With an MM you cant lose imo.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
