An uncommon (sarcasm) conundrum

[skipdog]

Just remember that the journey to max level is extremely long compared to most MMO's and for most people, it will be the majority of their playing time.

Don't get concerned about which classes are needed at 50+. Play what you find the most fun!

Not really

Also, if you are just starting, I feel that necro gear is much cheaper than warrior gear and will be better for farming a warrior alt later.

Necros have so much awesome utility. There have been times where healers were low in KC, and I'd just tank on my monk with a necro healing me and some bard/chanter slows and maybe some bard regen. Of course, that's not the ideal role, and certainly not something you'd be doing in 99% of situations. They are great at farming nice items in higher levels and good for soloing in the downtime when you can't find a group (unlike warriors, which, unless you have some really good gear, probably can't solo much at all).

Main point is, necros are a good class for people starting out.

Something to think about very few new people know is at level 54 1/2 you are only 50% of the kills you need to get to level 60. It is a ASS BUSTER to get to the top after that. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So, pick a class you really like or you will not be a happy camper in the long run.

I dont want to simply be a mana battery.

Personally have noticed that huge majority of high end necros on server seem to be under impression that being a mana battery is not in their line of duties whatsoever and would prefer instead to scamper around zones scouting and pulling and crap. Trying to get twitches is like pulling teeth.

A good necro who maximizes their class' utilities is always a pleasure to group with. If you do that you will become known as a good necro and find yourself in demand. Example of bad necros are those who /petattack and afk, or those who are "just mana batteries".

Honestly, if I could get in a raiding guild I would mana battery for a raid boss. But for high lvl grouping like 55-60 I want to actually do some killing.

My advice to you would be level necro up first. Farm yourself a lot of PP. Then twink warrior out.
