The necromancer class generally is one with a large diverse tool set. The weapon skills provide the bulk of the damage and secondary effects yet no pets are found in them. Instead with this usually pet heavy class you find them all as options in the healing, utility, and elite skill slots. Death shroud, the classes unique ability may seem simple with only four spells but they give you everything you need. From the looks of it the highest damage for the class can be found while in death shroud.
It is surprising that the class is not more pet focused. In fact the pets from the descriptions and video seem to be the under-powered aspect of the class. At this point the minion master play style from Guild Wars does not seem to have crossed over.
