Any point in playing MAG over NEC?

[Encroaching Death]

I play a Necro, but not because I enjoy pet classes. I don't, actually.

I play a Necro because I like the concept of turning your HP/Mana into some other benefit.

I like that I can use Lich, use that mana to twitch Clerics - then self-heal with a leech dot/lifetap - then use that health to heal a dying tank. Self-heal again to 100% and use that health to gain more mana with Lich. Repeat.

Yes. I enjoy grouping with my Necro. Twitching is awesome. I am weird.

Also dots are great. Root-rotting is ROFL gameplay. Imagine someone root rotting you IRL...how pissed would you be?
