Necros - FD splitting

[whippetofspades]

I have generally been okay splitting with darkness. There does seem to be a bug where once you FD, the darknessed mob won't take any damage even though you get messages about it being hit. Once you get up it works again. I don't know if this is meant to happen or not though.

You're best of doing a Screaming Terror + Pet break. Screaming Terror one. Run away, send pet to engage the one chasing you. Feign Death to wipe aggro on the ST mob, stand up, start nuking the one fighting your pet. Be sure to get him under control ASAP as your pet generally wont take too many hits.

It is important to keep in mind that as soon as you FD, they are healing around 5% HP a tick. Unless your dots are doing over 5% HP a tick, you probably wont see a change in HP.

Someone's already mentioned it, but screaming terror is one of the better ways to split low amounts of mobs.

Large packs, you can throw your pet at them and then use a fast casting spell (non-dot) to pull one. Follow that up with a ST when he's far enough away from the pack, FD, kill pet, wait for resets, stand and then grab the ST'd mob.


if you play with it enough, you'll learn what you can/can't pull off with it.
