Used to be able to pull with Vampiric Curse, which is generally higher aggro-generating than a normal dot, though the pet with 2 weapons and haste would still be able to peel aggro withing 5-10 seconds. Now it's out of the question. I generally have to wait til the pet has gotten the mob to 70ish percent before casting Vamp. Curse, and then still risk pulling aggro if I decide to sit. Root is an absolute must if I need to stack more than one DoT.

It would be nice to hear from a dev if this is intended or not [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not like it makes being a necro that much harder.


Feign Death.
