Don't get the obsession with WW dragons apart from Sont, they drop shit.

Uhh, killing dragons is fun? :P I believe they can also drop some of the new spells?

Have you ever soloed the crypt Stealin?

Anyway I would say the big advantage of the Necro is charm. If charm is in play, then a (skilled recharming) necro will be more effective than even an epic mage, but if not I don't really see the advantages. I suppose the coming invis pulling nerf will make necros FD tricks a lot more important, but Magicians can also do some voodoo shit with Call of the Hero, especially if there is space to train stuff around a bit. I've been playing around on a magician and I think I can split most 3-4 mob camps simply by sending in the earth pet, maloing my target, running away, root netting it, and then CoHing myself.

I guess we can quibble but I would think a magician is roughly comparable to a non-charming Necromancer in most of the cases.

It's true. Mages lack a lot of vital "tricks" that Necro/Sk's have. Hence me rerolling from an Epic mage.

Epic mage pet is bonkers here, and pet damage/mitigation is not right. (shittier)

Sorry to dissapoint.

There are some good tricks out there for playing a mage, but just does not tally up to a Necro. Mages are great for group dps though. And the pets are better.

Damage shields do great damage, backstab pet is awesome with a necro duo (fearkite), mage can CoH necro in case of a shitty pull. Sword of Runes proc with pets (Also more dps).

Mage has the ability to blast something down in the needed case. When duoing it is always good just to hoard mana on a mage.

How the hell would you know, banned cheater?

Not only did I not post how. You're bad. You wouldn't even know unless I told you.

I was around pre-kunark.

There was one gnome mage I know broke/cleared that camp, he used to solo farm ghoul lord as well.

P.S. You weren't that great of a mage.
