Dark is alot about -acc. So it suits both the ninja as necro. Ninja for their defence (they have no resist) and necro since the pet themselfs do also dark attacks.
Ninja sometimes can be a bit stupid, specialy if you try to get them all in melee range. The Oni with tarpatch is big fun though. The smokething power gives 1 pet 10 sec nonstop crits, wich is really lovely.
Necro is mixed psn, S/L and dark dmg. Personaly i really love them, the zombies as junkfood, skeleton for lovely dmg dealing and Lich for the mez powers (stacked fear, wooo that).
They are quite matched to eachother, necro every pet gets a self heal at 2nd upgrade (rather nice to have) while ninja can ditch out more dmg when u use the smokebomb and tier2 has placate. Necro gets extract soul, lovely when 1 pet dies in battle and get a free ghost in return. Necro has a minor better ranged dmg, ninja can do abit better melee.
With dark, i would personly pick necro, due their stacked -acc debuffs and combined mez ability. Lich has a nasty downside because it has a cone knockback, Ninja tier1 pets have a downside since they get a knockback power at 2nd upgrade.
But overal, pick either set. Both are fun to play, great damage and very good solo ability. From scrath, ninja does abit more dmg then necro, while later zombie catch up alot.

Ninjas vs Pirates, it's a long standing tradition grasshopper.
And the idea that a one-eyed, one-armed drunk with a parrot could stand up to a highly trained assassin capable of killing a samurai unarmed is just as retarded.

words cant describe how right this is 
Doesn't make it any less entertaining.
Anyhoo, enough thread derailing.
here is some advice. stay the hell away from mercs/ff. bad combo, i 50'd it but slow as hell.
Am thinking of creating a mastermind for my first journey into CoV. I was attracted to either ninja or necro with dark or poison. Can anyone offer any advice into the strengths and weaknesses of these combinations. I PvE mostly in teams though I enjoy soloing sometimes. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer me some guidance.
