The suggestion you are getting from multiple people now is that you need more interrupts more often. More interrupts, less dots. Less dots, less deaths. You get that with low level mez. cd288 suggested the same thing a few posts up.

Based on what you are saying, it does not sound like Cyndreela should be considered unusually difficult for a lone higher level necromancer, even when she gets a lucky string of resists once every twenty spawns, which sounds like the only thing that is happening. I don't see why a Mage would have an especially hard time with her, since the pet would be taking the dots. Maybe a Wizard would have a harder time.


It's all an illusion. Especially when Enchanters are involved.


The strange thing about this game is that the winning move is not to play. Sounds like someone is watching out for you, if you ask me.
In hind sight knowing how good Magician pets are and the fact that they have control over, Magician probably would wreck her. The way I usually kill her is Discordant Mind. Clicky. Anarchy. Clicky. Discordant Mind. Dead. I'm pretty sure both of those nukes are actually interrupts, but when they get resisted that obviously doesn't matter [You must be logged in to view images.

I think if I was really interested in doing this camp then investing in HP gear would make a huge difference (my characters aren't twinks). But there is other things I can do where I was getting better exp than this. The last time I died I actually swung over to Grobb and started killing guards and was having a better time. I think the main appeal of Cyndreela at first glance was that they seemed like an AFK friendly camp, which would have been a nice break since chain CC'ing for groups in KC was fatiguing me pretty badly.

But yeah I looked at the HP difference of Necro of similar level and it's pretty huge:

And yes my Enc is missing a range slot and I think some of his pieces are actually cloth armor [You must be logged in to view images.

That's kind of what I tell myself because I remember when Green first launched watching Enchanters in LGUK do some crazy stuff and I don't even think their gear was this good. But against Cyndreela I do think having HP stuff would make a bigger diff.
