What would you roll if.........

this guy is asking for advice on what a fun twink class is, and the result is a 7 page weener measuring contest about necro knowledge.

And the sad part is, it doesn't even matter.
As a necro, I'd estimate that I'm 85% effective naked as I am with my 20k in gear.
Yeah, I'm missing some HP and mana, but my pet does the same damage, my spells do the same damage.
My brother-in-law monk, and frequent groupmate, on the other hand, does 'good' DPS naked, and when he gets all dressed up in his ~10-12k pp of gear (Wu's sticks and such) his DPS almost doubles, according to the parse logs I often run. he also takes less damage, and takes hits less often. He doesn't even have a fungi robe. I'm sure it'd be a bigger difference if he did.

There is no question who benefits more from nice gear.
