aggo kiting
- snare the mob and stack some dots to make it aggro on you. snare itself makes alot of aggo but some dots more is recommended, especially some debuff dots like heart flutter works great. now send your full buffed pet in with /taunt off. run a safe route with the mob following you, while the pet is hitting in the back. rogue pet is best dmg, but dies often if mob turns on your pet. sit and med shortly if you can. never let your snare run off and keep aggro on you with the most nastiest dots. on higher lvl mobs your lvl 4 fear is perhaps the most aggroing and low mana spell, and it gets resisted all the time). shouldn't be necessary to load if you are just soloing, but if 5 other PC are nuking and hacking on your mob.

As baalzy said, pet agro here is not classic. There have been several threads to try to illustrate this without any noticeable change. So necros have adapted to agro kiting. It's not really a solution for indoor zones but at least it works well when you've got open spaces.

Agro kiting used to take a little more then just looking at the mob in classic dude.
In live I would send my pet and lead with dooming darkness, having dooming land before my pet got to the target and the pet would take agro until i then cast at least boil blood on the mob.

I didn't say agro kiting is new. The difference here is it's pretty much your only option at certain levels. Particularly the lower levels when fear and root aren't available / practical.
It should take more than a 1 or 2 spells to turn a mob onto you to the point where you can drag it all over zone with pet beating on it until dead but never taking back agro. It actually makes agro kiting a fantastic, mana efficient strategy but reduces the options when it's necessary for pet to keep agro and tank for you. That's not what I remember as classic and not what the classic necro guides seem to indicate.

Definitely sounds like you just aren't using the right tactics.
1 shot of darkness, sick pet and agro kite. Reapply darkness before it drops. You don't need any other dots, its a waste of mana. Keep dark pact up on you and you should be soloing yellows with ease. Fear isn't mana efficient even with the ability to sit. Just go explore. Most of the spots people suggest on this board are going to be common solo spots and are likely to be camped. Just go any place with mobs around your level and agro kite them. Necros are very very powerful if you are using the right techniques.

1) Duh, but taunt wouldn't work unless you were fighting a mob lower level than you anyways (until taunt gets patched, sometime in velious i believe, to work on mobs above your level)
2) I WANTED my pet to take agro for a little bit 3) It's not working like this on P99 the way it was on classic Shadey, you've been posting a lot in the 3 days you've been here but you seem to be failing to grasp a fundamental aspect of this server. The fact that it's supposed to be emulating how EverQuest WAS, not how it is.

As an Shadow Knight, I can give you my soling path (as if an SK can solo it, a Necro surely can)
On classic, Kunark was what did the trick..I spent a lot of time in OT, then I moved on to LOIO and it was all about fear kiting for me. The wide open spaces in OT and LOIO were perfect for it, and there was never any shortage of places to work from. In fact once I got to Kunark, I did not leave again till I got to L46 (and could join raids) and it was mostly solo. In the later levels I hung out in places like BW, FoB, and EJ. I also did a LOT of soloing in later levies ..INSIDE Kaesora, as well as the entrance to Chardok, and the entrance to Sebelis, hell I soloed all of Kunark that could be soloed (spent a LONG time obtaining the Greenmist..by long time think..Dark Elf..DE who got a Geenmist.) LOL I spent a LOT of time collecting bone chips and visiting the guards outside Cabilis. anyway..long story short..Kunark is where its at for soloing. get yourself to Over There and don't go back. | ||
