Thanks for the responses everyone, sounds like most of my assumptions were correct. I hadn't considered that deadwood staves could break root, thanks for calling that out. And the lull/fd way to reset a pet sounds super useful.

Playing the necro has been tons of fun. I'm not trying to level super quickly, but rather trying to explore dungeons and camps I haven't seen much of before. Hag tower in unrest was nice, a good mix of being usually smooth sailing combined with the occasional "oh shit" when the middle spawn popped at an akward timer or the outside pather aggroes.

I did Mistmoore CE for a couple levels to see what it's like grouping on a necro and it was fun how different the playstyle is from soloing. We had an amazing group for a while and although I'm not sure whether I was being carried by the rest of the group I sure felt useful. When there wasn't an enchanter I could do passible CC with roots and screaming terror, and then otherwise nuke off excess mana while twitching the cleric whenever he got low. Was also fun just watching a really talented bard chain pull the entire castle.

Recently I've spent most of level 39 charming in Kaesora, and the xp's been good even though a lot of the fights are frustrating. I've been mostly posted up at the safe spot by the library near #6 on the map, sometimes by the two undead rooms on the way down from the spiders to the library. The heals from the wardens are obnoxious, and that little nook has three spawns, including one that's always a ravener, so it's a little annoying to break in. I've only died once down there, though, and that was after two consecutive crit FD failures.

I think I'm going to try the five towers area for a bit with a summoned pet and take it easy, letting it take 50% sometimes. I watched a bit of a video of someone doing that and it seemed real chill. I'm pretty well twinked with tunnel gear plus a z-heart and that's definitely helped a lot.

damn homie i should catch my enchanter up and we can duo charm kaesora $$$
