I've been in more than a few rogue/monk heavy groups where send pet/nuke is actually the optimal strategy. It all comes down to diagnosing what your party's bottleneck is.

Monk is better use as DPS then. Necro pulls a hundred times better than monk in seb (besides king but a really good mechanical player could still do it)

And to be fair its not just Necromancers...Its also No Bards, No Druids, No Wizards, No Mages, No Rangers
Yeah watching necros complain about not getting groups when my alt is a wiz is just adorable.

I chalk it up to 90% of this server having no idea how any of the classes in the game work except warrior, rogue, cleric, and enchanter. If you have a perfect 6 man group already then yeah I get it, but I'll see groups begging for a chanter or bard CC while my wiz is lfg and I have to wonder if they know what root is. I've also had necros not know they can mez undead, so I guess it goes both ways - a lot of players don't even know how to play their OWN class, let alone what other classes are capable of.

I don't know why but when I camp about 75% of the time I crash to my desktop instead of going cleanly to the character select screen. I then have to re-log in and it takes a few minutes because I get the message that I still have an active character on the server and I need to wait for it to sync.
If you're using Win 10 then set eqgame.exe to xp sp 2 compatibility mode.

Actually, Necro can mez all type, not just undead. They can only lull undead (calm the dead/rest the dead) though this one crit fails quite often and can be a gamble. Give yourself space to FD.

I've been necro duoing with my brothers shaman recently and it's been a lot of fun. I'm only 45, but charming in CoM with shaman slow and spot heals has been a blast. Have been able to keep entire temple camp locked down and pull a few courtyard spawns on top. Looking forward to the 50+ zones soon.

This is literally the best trio in the entire game. Fuck clerics and enchanters and warriors.

Indeed. Monk does the pulling/tanking. Necro pets out dps and covers most heals (including healing shaman canni) while playing jack of all trades and shaman buffs/debuffs/heals/etc.

There is so much supportive synergy there while leveling.
