Necro Struggling 20-24

[Zyn]

Hey Guys -

I've seriously enjoyed the hell out of my necro, but as soon as I hit 20, everything has felt like a drag and obnoxious grind.

Thankfully I've made it to 23, and I'm hoping my 24 pet makes a substantial difference.

That being said, I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on Necro charming. Is it viable? Is it worth doing? I have shit for CHA and I can't tash like a chanter can, but being able to kill two mobs for the price of one certainly feels appealing.

Fear-kiting works, but right now my dots hit like crap and it usually costs me 40-50% of my mana bar to kill one blue mob.

Should I just try and grind my way to 24 and hope things get better?

I've been killing in LOIO, so there are some undead mobs there for me to charm.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
