Necromancer or Enchanter - dungeon charming?

[Tecmos Deception]

I always take issue with chanters being called stuff like "wet paper bag" because while they don't have a bunch of actual HP or the ability to heal, they have all kinds of tools to entirely avoid damage except when really pushing the extreme of what can be solod (like emperor in seb or shit that hits for 300 and is really magic resistant in velious, etc).

Getting summoned by typical 51-55 stuff that hits for like 160 and only resists 1 in 3 spells after tash is no biggie when you've got 1000 hp in runes and multiple ae stuns that cast nearly instantly and AE mez and whatnot, especially if you're wealthy enough to use consumables like WC hats and wands of allure and shaman potions when needed to ensure you don't lose a named kill.

I'm behind the times though. I haven't played at high end since some changes to AC and pets and resists, and I haven't spent any time (except on beta server) in the higher Velious zones.


But back on point, I agree overall with Crawdad.

That all sounds fair.

It isn't too bad really. It just depends on you knowing the zone/area you're in very well.

Know the safe spots, and you can go there and AFK or log knowing you won't log back in to death. Know paths and spawn locations and respawn time, and you can AFK safely right on top of a camp (at least for a while). Know what sees invis and doesn't, and you can use improved invis for a safe afk period. Know what sees invis and doesn't, and you can log off in a spot where when you come back in invis/IVU you'll still be ok. Etc.

Not as convenient as casting feign and wandering off for an indefinite period of time... but not TOO bad.

Id say anywhere other than hs south\east chanter will do better. When the shit hits the fan and you're dealing with summoners popping that DA and (trying to) FD at a safe spot is worth its weight in gold.

Still haven't got round to trying solo otw to crypt as nec. Tons of undead down there.

Hole undead tower is rough as hell. Those undead have ridiculously high resists. Charm breaks constantly. But in the city its viable.

Being able to summon and rez yourself is really nice if you like going full crazy.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
