Necro Soloing After Patch

[Kassel]

Sparkle, do not forget to fear your mob so dots do full damage. Avoid lifetap if you can as its not great mana efficiency if you dont need the health.

Also, the whole point of the server is to be as close to classic as possible, the devs intentionally add nerfs to achieve their goal. The goal of this server is not to fix the mistakes of the past but to relive the experience as close as possible. You may not agree that this is the way to go, but its their server and their publicly stated goal

Fear does not allow me to control additional mobs aggroing, and lifetapping lets me keep my health up with Allure of Death. I only need two, maybe three lifetaps. Fear has gotten me into trouble with adds, and my DOTs don't do enough damage to justify the risk, not yet. Soon though they will.

Well then what about fixing pet aggro and weapon delay? Those are classic too, but it's been said that weapon delay will never be changed here (who knows if aggro will be fixed). They intentionally added the nerf yes, but they're also intentionally not adding the buff.

It's been quoted a few times already, so I won't quote it again.

EDIT: Screw it, yes I will quote it again:

I don't care how much anyone whines. Pet delays will not be lowered, if the weapon has a lower delay. But enough about that.

So there you have it. The nerfs are added intentionally and the buffs not added intentionally. That's why people are upset.

what i want to know is how is DS dmg calculated is it part of the pets dmg or is it nutral does not count... at 56 the 33 pt dmg shield plus 2 nukes does about 50% dmg if not more dmg but if it is not calculated that way then no way im gana continue untill they fix pet agro.

pretty sure you would just think of it as like a third party that couldnt take exp just lowering the mobs total hitpoints.

In other words it wouldnt go toward you or your pets damage output.

Yeah, DS damage counts for no one, the mob's HP just goes down without affecting threat or exp.
