Blow a 500+ pp essence emerald rezzing a cleric so the 'real classes' can get back up and the raid can continue? LoL Suckers.

Some of you should really try raiding with less batteries and more DPS. It's P awesome.
1) Your experiences, preferences, and opinions on a class and what is or is not enjoyable about it do not reflect the opinions of others, and some people may *GASP!* find something fun where you find no enjoyment at all. Such as being a mana battery, spot healer, and the like.

2) I can't remember a time in ANY MMO I've ever played where the cost of an ability (e.g., Essence Emeralds) or consumable (e.g., potions) was solely on the person playing the class and not up to the guild to help cover the costs of at least a few for raiding purposes only. If the guild isn't helping to front the costs of Sacrifices (or providing sacrifices themselves) and still expects the Necromancer to rez during a raid CR, then the guild is doing its own members a disservice, and it becomes less about "us", which is what a guild should be about.

3) Calling people "scrubs" because you have a differing viewpoint is both counter-productive to making your point, and immature. Why are such jabs at people necessary?

*ahem* At any rate, with the limited experience I had with raiding (PoFear for my Shaman epic, some Chardok raids), Necros were, as others have said, the "swiss army knife". Spot healing, ghetto mez, and mana battery to help make things smoother, while at the same time putting out some DPS through pet and Lifetaps. They're far from useless in a raid setting, IMO, but my experience is... limited. :P
