PoM AiW4 Halflings I think is the hardest camp I've soloed on a necromancer.

It's just not fun on that class compared to the easy mode a Druid, enchanter or shaman has.

You need to do a 4-5 DoT stack on the mob, maintain shadowbonds on your pet, and then tap tank the final 50% of the mob. Even with solid gear the fight can be a toss up many times. A few push or bash interrupts on your Lifetap tanking and you're dead. Usually it requires the Halflings flees at the end when you run out of mana. This is for a necro without much real raid gear (though I do have epic, everything else is bought or PoSky/HoTesting type quality).

I don't have a PoHate pet book though and I hear this makes a decent difference in your pets capability of tanking and DPSing these Halflings.

Most necro solo camps you would do with summoning mobs just aren't worth the time and effort you have to put in to kill the mobs. Yea you can cap tank most named mobs up to around 55~ if you can get them single and have full mana, a full life pet and decent gear. but it's just not worth it when you could just easy mode slow a mob and send a charmed pet on a mob as an enchanter then AFK for 2min come back to free loot.
