And if you wipe, guess who's saving your ass from a difficult CR?

Necromancers are the raid's Swiss Pocket Knife, along with Bards.

You can spam lifetap dragons or other aoe encounters, stay up and not need healing. Are you willing to trade 200-300 damage per cast for not needing heals (with good resists)?

For the players with any kind of forethought, "broken" classes will still be brought to raids so they can be geared for when they are fixed.

Your class's ability to kill fast chain pulling at solb pit/royals in no way dictates your class's overall usefulness and role. Many people here who've replied to the caster threads seem to think this.

There's a reason I don't think members of prominent raid guilds are discussing this actively here :P.

He means they heal others, not that they require more healing themselves...

Yeah someone's head spun and exploded, I'm a bad multitasker poster.

There's some real truth to be found in there.

To all the scrubs above:

Nah I'm not bad, I just realized that necros are a wasted raid spot if you have competent players and quit at 56 after spectating too many raids where my presence was completely extraneous. I now happily regularly contribute to a raid force as a contributory class.

Seriously, necros: do you truly enjoy bombing all your mana and HP onto OTHER RAIDERS, and being the 'oh shit button' to FD and /q when shit goes badly? Even then your job is to be the clerics bitch. Blow a 500+ pp essence emerald rezzing a cleric so the 'real classes' can get back up and the raid can continue? LoL Suckers.

Some of you should really try raiding with less batteries and more DPS. It's P awesome.
