I swear it was during Velious but yeah the patch info says Luclin?

It's sad, it should be in the game at launch, it was a bug that lazy Verant never got around to fixing because necros were whipping boys.

Patch info says Luclin. I was a very sad panda.

What Velious gives us, I believe, is stacking Darkness and Roots. So we can root rot with darkness on our target. So damn useful.

Try kiting without snare, fear, lich and a pet. Then you'll know what it's like to be the whipping boy of a lazy developer.

Besides less downtime, necros are better soloers because they can set up shop and solo just about anywhere. A good necro has a wealth of knowledge about soloing dungeons and towns--layout, spawns, patrols, respawn times, aggro radius, mob resistances, etc. Even indoor fearkiting becomes an option once you've cleared out a large enough area.

Yeah, luclin. However, hopefully after Velious runs it's course and Nilbog is satisfied he will implement dot stacking for necromancers, considering it really should be a thing.

Numerous people making DPS characters might very well have selected a rogue, or a monk, or a mage or a Wizard when they considered that P1999 would hit Velious and no further for expansion content. This means it was understood that Luclin content wouldn't be added (not part of the "classic" expansion content), and DoT's would never stack.

If the decision to make DoT's stack from similar spells was put in as a "this is how it should have been measure", it's certain to generate some heated and mixed reactions for sure. Because Necros became incredible DPS engines overnight (for raids) once that was patched in.

Yeah, I'll agree that other classes still performed exceptionally well, but it was with the understanding of leveling / time consumed / difficulty being compared directly between classes as well. Necros got a HUGE shot in the arm.

This is absolutely nothing official, but on stream I believe Sirken said that the team wasn't planning to stop after Velious, though he was adamant that didn't mean Luclin was coming after or anything like that. So it makes sense to me that they'd go away from patch notes and just continually update shit that needs to be fixed. Who knows?
