Going to give Red a shot.

[filthyphil]

The dots are not that bad, up to level 50 I was able to zone most attacking players excluding those wearing fungi tunic. But there lies the problem, they will zone, you will not get a kill, and they will continuously attack you until there is a conclusion to the fight. You are able to shadowstep, harmshield, FD, & gate, a well played necro is hard to kill, but easy to escape.

Taps/Hot will land almost always, darkness snares will land moderately, disease/poison dots occasionally, fire rarely.
