3. Snare is pretty easy to resist
4. The pet DPS is god awful and the necro pets have some bugs to them (Lack of DW, etc)
5. High use of golem wands = insta splat from anyone with hard nukes or discs (or even HT for that matter)

theres more reasons but yeah by the time you hit 52+ an enormous majority of the server knows how to dispell or exploit these obvious weaknesses and as a NEC you should just stick to PVE farming which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on the pvp server in the first place.
I played Necro on live and this is basically how a Necro is in Kunark. They went from being one of the best PVP classes to being a joke in one expansion. Aside from Splurt resisting (that NEVER happened to me ever in like 5 years of playing) that's all classic. Especially getting fucked up by melees with golem wands/pumice stones.

Also Fire line should never ever resist either. Splurt, Lifetaps(including dots), and Fire all landed every single time in PvP. Sadly they don't do a lot of damage.
