Iksar necro is really stronk in PVE but in pvp they aren't very good on this server.
I'm pretty sure it's the same thing with mages.

Honestly, if I had the option of any level 60 character I would pick an Iksar monk. Seem to be the most powerful single character in the game at the moment for pvp.

Melee only get stronger in velious so if you are wanting to go for kills and glory I'd go that route. If you want to be hand held and pixel showered make a cleric your life will be a lot easier.

Your forum content seems to be getting more legit, so I've dropped you from ignore.

If necros have a good stash of essence emeralds, they will be able to feed clerics, lay down the dps using spells and clickies (epic and vp stick) and dps with their pets.

I would really love to main my sk, but until they fill all their slots with hp gear they can't even rampage tank, let alone dps any where near 50% of a monk or rogue.

On the flip side in mass pvp a necro can only harass people with dots and dispells but generally can't do any real damage since most targets are fully raid buffed and the assist targets die too fast for your dots to be useful.

I never said they were awful. It is one of the best classes ever IF played right. Clerics spam Divine Light and chain click a donals here. There is really not much thought or skill involved atm. This will soon change, I wished they had nerfed Donals years ago i probably would of rolled another cleric on red.

Either way you can't fuck up a necro in pve.. you just twitch a cleric then masturbate.

Druids were casting nukes like lures on 190 fr. Now they do half damage at those resists. My necro died in 3 casts, couldn't compete since taps never healed full amount in pvp.

Now they actually need to debuff, which they generally don't mem.

Costs the Necro 1200 mana just to give you 1 CH. Necro will give you roughly 2, maybe 3 CH's before he/she is OOM. Or they could cast whatever dot lands and nuke. That'll kill the mob faster and you won't need as many CH's.

Depends, necros can offer the same amount of dps as a pally or sk with a spec pet and a mana efficient splurt, while feeding clerics in lich form. Don't forget the vp stick offers dps and helps necros gain life back at no mana. Plus dmf is not replacable.

Add essence emeralds to the mix and they get a mana spike on demand.

Because some people don't have a class preferential and play the game to group, so a class in demand would get groups ergo enjoying the game. A fact compounded by the low population of the server. Not sure how retarded you have to be to not understand that concept.

Pretty sure any PvP I partake in would be group PvP, as sitting alone waiting to gank people Chewie style isnt my thing.

I played a Nec during Velious. There was no huge demand for necros, and really lousy guilds tried to use them as mana batteries instead of having them kill the raid boss faster.

If you splurt and twitch you're making your twitch:CH ratio even worse. Might as well just let the necro dot and nuke.

Infusion is 1000 mana on a ten minute timer. Congrats, you get 2/3 of a CH every ten minutes. Over a 20 minute fight that's a whopping 1 additional CH. Not worth it.

Twitch bad, more clerics good, nukes/dots good. Make platinum, fuck wood elves.

No, back when the PvP boards were in full swing, necros were the worst performing class statistically.

This server isn't true classic where necros would kill a player in 1 splurt after sending a pet on them. End game pvpers are fully twinked and run around with full hp buffs. Nukes used to land like lures and even after resists patch still land 200-400% more effectively then they did in classic pvp.

No, back when the PvP boards were in full swing, necros were the worst performing class statistically.

This server isn't true classic where necros would kill a player in 1 splurt after sending a pet on them. End game pvpers are fully twinked and run around with full hp buffs. Nukes used to land like lures and even after resists patch still land 200-400% more effectively then they did in classic pvp.

Are resists for necros significantly changed from live? I was one of the best geared pvp necros on SZ, and deflux was almost never resisted. Splurt and Ignite Blood (I think?) were also effectively never resisted. I, and other top necros, would routinely solo take on full groups of 60s and win.

I'm curious how necros are bad now. Does deflux not land here? That spell was the cornerstone of the necro pvp ability.

Necros are strong 1v1 vs other casters...the the main issues are as follows.

1) Everyone has pumice, unlike live

2) Overall DoT dmg is weak

3) Cure pots are every where

4) EoT is awful

The most successful playstyle I had with my necro here is to play them like a wizard. The only DoT i used was Cessastion of Cor (not for the dot but for the -50 STR the wrecks casters; ghetto snare). I would run deflux,touch of night and trucidate and just nuke. Add in 2 DAs and shadowstep you can live thru assists. Call of Bones is great as well to hide amongst the AoN'd skell armies.

I ended up switching to chanter for my previous guild desperately needing one, got an inny shield and never looked back

Problem with being a caster is mass pvp at end game is all about having thirty level 60 melees melt you in three seconds. While in some scenarios you can get a geometry advantage and hide and cast, in many others it's rather difficult to find a good a spot to drop bombs from and you die faster than an adc in a oL team fight.

You read what he just said and came to that conclusion?

people dont understand how to bury dots

necro is fine


1) Everyone has pumice, unlike live

2) Overall DoT dmg is weak

3) Cure pots are every where

Agree with everything here except using lifetaps like nukes. Very mana inefficient since taps don't heal for the full amount in pvp like live and you won't win vs players that use skin.

To beat casters use the following; open up with poison bolt to test their pr, if it lands expect a 70% chance of interrupt and follow up with ebolt . Throw in a cessation of cor if they look like they are going to run. If they do not cure poison bolt, once ebolt lands chase them with poison bolt spam until they die.

If they do have high pr, follow up poison bolt with cessation of cor, then vexing moridinia, da because chances are your skin would be gone and you will be on 20-50% health from the nukes. The vexing moridinia will get you back to full when da fades but your opponent would most likely have cured/dispelled or gated and died at their bind , which makes it a stalemate.

An taps are mana effective vs dmg done since dots are pell'd. Always go for the guarantee dmg over dispellable. Same goes for wizards using draughts vs lure of ice. Too e z to partial shit these days.

Why do people mention resists when talking necro pvp balance but never mention the bigger factor? Melee hit like 80% of the time and for more damage per swing than they did on live.

Poison bolt is a level 4 dot that has a knock back and can interrupt. If they cure it, they are wasting charges, if they aren't then u ebolt since cure needs to hit the lower dot first. If they decide to start curing then u keep applying the level 4 dot. You getting it yet?

This is true, I remember missing casters 30-50% of the time with my monk, seems like AP vs AC is awefully skewed here.

04-30-2014, 11:49 PM
the average melee on here is way better geared than how it was on live but i still agree that melees hit way too hard and too often.

Turning auto attack on and off again instantly while duel wielding = 20% chance to interrupt caster.

Do it again =40%

A third time 60%

Hmmmmmmmmm

SamwiseRed
04-30-2014, 11:59 PM
each time would be 20%, if it added up like that then it would be 100% after 5 jousts which isnt true. didnt reply so you could edit :)

Except this is flawed because poison bolt is 1 poison counter, ebolt is 10...counter rips off 8 at a time. You cant "cover" your ebolt a 1 poison counter "dummy" spell. 2 cures are needed for take off ebolt anyway. Poison bolt will not affect this.

The only time it works is for shamans really who want to cover their Pox with Insidious. Insidious is 9 = 2 cures to rip off...Pox another 9. Easily done as well since insidious is unresistable and a 1 sec cast.

Gozz, Talendor, Klandi, General V'Ghera, Trak, Velk.

But hey, just two mobs. Also that list wasn't complete, we just have the archive of that post.

Also LOL if you think people are going to start spamming a level 29 necro lifetap from an item that has had its drop rate nerfed beyond classic level. Just nerf that lifetap, no 60 necro is going to use it on a raid.

Bad poster keeps posting. :eek:



Yeah I ran into that on Vallon Zek. Was told to twitch, not nuke/dot. "Just twitch!" they said. "Your spells don't do any damage," they told me.

So the next mob boss I loaded up our main tank with splurt, fire line, bond of death, then turned him into a skeleton. He died and we wiped.

I took no blame because my spells don't do damage.


I said two mobs minus pre velious junk like general and talendor. Tunnel vision much?




Youre retarded bro.


Play something else.

Also another reason youre retarded. All high end bosses minus nexona, phara dar, possibly cazic, and thats about the only things you can tap here. Because of hoops.. They didnt nerf the drop rate you idiot. They nerfed the spell all together.

freez
05-01-2014, 03:57 AM
So basicly like i said on page 1, if theres one necro dropping dots, you will never be under a boss nuking unless youre killing kunark junk that nobody wants, velk or AoW.

Even on velk/ AoW theres no fucking way youre going to be nuking. Good luck convincing anyone of that.



Youre whole argument is wrapped around 2 out of 70 raid mobs u can even land these spells on. You posted a list to prove that these spells land. Well they dont.

I never said they were awful. It is one of the best classes ever IF played right. Clerics spam Divine Light and chain click a donals here. There is really not much thought or skill involved atm. This will soon change, I wished they had nerfed Donals years ago i probably would of rolled another cleric on red.

Either way you can't fuck up a necro in pve.. you just twitch a cleric then masturbate.

chain click your donals in pvp yall

LOL coming from a guy that had full shaman buffs, and needed DS pots in an 'honor duel' against another unbuffed SK 2 levels lower than them and only won by 2% health... 2% health whats that less than 100 hp?... hows abusing IP exemption doing? Still suspended on Beastagor?

Can no longer be sold to (or recharged by) merchants. No longer unresistable. Does not work in Veeshan's Peak. Also made a more rare reward than in classic, due to imbalance with raid mobs. (Sept 10, 2011 patch)[1]
