Smallish mobs, sorry.

Playing a monk feels like being a child sometimes lol, having to get healed, invisd etc

Monk is a perfect complement to Shaman. A shaman/monk combo can essentially solo both the shaman and monk epics together, especially once Velious comes out (with help for final fights). Necro epic only going to come if you join a top raiding guild and build up a-lot of DKP. On live I had friends that didn't get original epic until PoP.

I did Shaman main and a family member did Iksar Monk(who eventually quit so I came to box monk until GoD when it no longer was worth it boxing to me $$$), can duo to 60 and once Velious comes around with major gear upgrades for Shaman and Monk they are a powerful combo. Monk can tank most slowed monsters so you will be able to duo in Velious no problem. Monk pulling and dps is no joke, one of the biggest problems for shaman is not enough dps. On the hardest mobs you can tank with the shaman and let the monk go all out dps on the back side of the monster.[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

All 3 Coldain Rings with clicky must be equipped to click. You're looking at a link that references live, where they removed all must equip to click restrictions.

Parsed wizard at 181dps with jboot refresh. Can't imagine with bane line how awesome its gonna be as a wizard owning the charts.

Feed wizards mana and patch heal with cancel magic to remove recourse they haven't fixed. You should be able to solo grind faction really well (heads/helmets) as a necro too.

And actually on longer fights like Lady Nev in ToV your patch heal sploiting will be super bad ass.

Necro gets zheart in Velious and summon corpse robe 8).

Even with bane spells, 15 mana / tick -> 75 damage / tick -> 12 dps. Not so very impressive, is it?

You are playing dumb... you know how bursting a raid targets works son. Don't gimme that shit.

Necro feeding patch heals with current healing exploit + mana giver is pretty good.

Should be able to tap most Velious targets to stay alive also. So there's a damage source that doesn't require its own heals.... well I guess nothing will land here to damage anyone with people in 400+ resists with bards/buffs... but that's another matter.

I don't think Necros will be soloing much that counts in Velious. But then I don't think anyone will be soloing much that counts. Most of the mobs that count are L60ish with annoying abilities and small groups will be the name of the game. Shamans will have the ability to solo Lodizal, but I predict there will be 40 people on his spawn point jav spamming, so if they do win the FTE lottery they'll want to bring a melee to be 100% sure of victory.

Also, if you think bring 15 mana/tick to a raid is valuable, how about you roll a bard? A bard playing Cassindra's can bring 70 mana/tick and that stacks with everything. Twitches are useful here and there, but they aren't a 'build my class around this' kind of thing.

[Daldaen]

Would love to know how Bards bring 70 mana a tick. Cause that is guaranteed a bug.

32 Mana Song is a Mana Feed
55 Mana Song is a Mana per Tick.

Pulsing for a single tic you get 13 mana per tick and 7 mana feed.

Instrument modifiers should have 0 effect on mana component of bard songs. They will amplify HP regen components on the 55 HP/Mana Regen song, but NOT the mana regen component.

[Splorf22]

7 * 2 * 5.

Necro twitch only works for one person; bard song works for the whole group. Really its strange math; I should have perhaps chosen 7 * 2 * 4 = 56 which is the absolute worst case (you have another bard singing Cantata, because your raid is all bards). Normally Bards can give ~20 mana/tick * 5 = 100 total.

[Daldaen]

Okay so you're talking entire group not single person. I was about to have to BugQuest it...

It will be a glorious day when 255 caps are put in place.
