Hitting a snag

He's not playing them at the same time.

Heh. Well I definitely missed that. Half my advice still applies though! Fight low blues! Charm with druid, fear kite with necro (being careful to not let your pet outdamage you if possible).

My Druid? I don’t even know where to start. Shitty heals. Not sure if I’m supposed to LFG as a healer or DPS.

Druids will normally get groups either as a healer--typically when a group can't find a Cleric--or in a "swing role" where they'll do whatever job the group is otherwise lacking, ranging from damage to crowd control to helping on heals to pulling (in outdoor areas Druids make fine pullers). Once in a group look at what the group is weakest at then do that job. If they seem to have everything under control then you're damage until someone else leaves when you might have to switch roles. The mid/upper teens are a frustrating period for Druids as healers because they're proportionally rather weak during those levels.

Eventually you'll be able to quad kite with the druid!

your not doing anything wrong OP thats just a reality of playing a melee character, and it's why when we're all 50 you'll see how few people actually have patience for it prior to item mudflation

Druids and necros classify as a melee character these days?

you wont be able to eventually quad with the druid because you wont be able to find 4 mobs : )

Where is your druid? There are quite a few zones where you can charm animals. Charm one, find another animal to fight and let them go at each other. Why another animal? Because you can fear it once your pet goes low. Same, of course, applies to your pet when you break charm. Are you a wood elf or halfling? Use hide to break charm. If the animal you charmed is the same type as the animal you're fighting, root the enemy and back off past 10 meters. Then break charm. Both mobs *should* run if there's enough distance between them. If you're a human of half-elf, well, sucks to be you! You'll have to cast camouflage.

Once you hit 16-18, you can move on over to East Karana. Start with snakes, then eventually move up to gorge hounds. Congrats, you will roughly take 2-2.5 hours per level. While soloing this way is great, you could team up with anyone really to make it less risky *and* so your pet can kill the enemy. Let your pet drop to under 20%, snare the enemy and then fear it, and tada [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

At 19 you get Terrorize Animal and all of this becomes even easier. Honestly, Terrorize Animal is absolutely bonkers.

Looking for advice on my 16 necro and 14 Druid. Really not sure what to do with them right now. Necro is supposed to be easy soloing, but I still feel like I’m always staring at the spell book. And it takes half my mana bar to kill anything. My Druid? I don’t even know where to start. Shitty heals. Not sure if I’m supposed to LFG as a healer or DPS. Tried charming things... it wasn’t very successful. What am I missing here ? Not sure where to hunt, solo or group... etc.

If you want to group, Upper guk should be good for both chars, crushbone is good also (except if you have a DE necro), unrest is decent but not as good as the other two.

For soloing, try to be in content that is as low level as you can find, but still gives good rewards. If you don't have the pet of the spell level you are at, its best to avoid soloing.

On the necro you can fearkite, you want to either have your pet do all of the damage besides snare, this will make pet take xp but result in efficient kills, or you want to do >50% of the damage, wich will give you more xp but requires more mana.

Necro's can use their fear undead line, and druids can use their fear animal line, these can be extremely efficient. Outdoors partnered with a druid to pull and snare, your necro only has to fear while pet hammers the mob, this requires very little mana from you and your partner, and since you are duo pet won't be stealing xp.

On your druid you'd want a mage / necro / rogue partner, and use snare and your fear animal line.

There are tons of options but these are some of the better ones.

Thanks for all the tips. Tried out the Karanas and couldn’t hang lol. Just got hungry earth on my necro. Hoping that will help a lot since it will atleast open up root rotting. Maybe mana gets better once my necro is level 20 with the new lich spell ? Yet to see any solo king Xp :-(
