The Decision 2013: Ench or Nec

[Vermouth]

I've played both from 1 to 60. Both can solo very easily and have great tools for when things go bad (Necro: harmshield/FD. Ench: mez/mem blur.) Both can kill pretty much non stop because it is very easy to med while charm/fear killing. Surprisingly I can kill things without actually taking a break to med longer on my enchanter than on my necro. If you hunt at the right spots at the right levels, charm lasts very long (even before level 39 charm) and I kill 2 mobs casting 2x tash, 1x charm, 1x root, 1x taper enchantment (my choice to break charm) and 2x low level nuke to finish the mobs. Usually I med to FM when it's time to break charm and finish both mobs.

If you choose enchanter, don't get too crazy about stacking CHA. I used to play with CHA over 200 then decided to experiment and I get the same results with ~140 CHA, the only difference being now I have 200+ INT and thus more mana to kill things.

Bottom line - Ench will have an easier time finding a group and you will get asked for Clarity a lot regardless if you are anon. Necro won't get bothered for much unless someone wants DMF or a corpse summon and those are requested far far less than Clarity. Both are easily in the top 3 most self sufficient classes, especially when you get your JBoots. And in my opinion it is more fun to solo on a necro than on an ench.

Did you see that reddit post where the guy had 300~ gnoll fangs and levelled 11 to 22? Think you can farm 300 fangs in like...4-8 hours.

Food for thought on starting a new toon.


Anyway, Enchanter all the way because of ease of travel.

You said you've only gone to lvl 30 and that's where it gets easy. I'm on red99 and I just sat at the misty thicket guard wall and solo'd to 40. There are 2 single spawn guards with no aggro wanderers that drop 11pp per kill every 6 minutes....uhhh score! necros can kill here too.

I did gnoll fangs to 24, but I thought it got nerfed since then.

There's better exp spots, but I wanted a spot where I could not pay attention and not die since I was more focused on other servers back then.

The solo spawn is like 25 (blue at char level 29/30).

That took me to 35/36 until light blue.

The solo spawn up in the building is 28, took me up to lvl 40.

The 4 spawn in the middle gates are mixed, 24/26/29/29. I paid a lowbie druid to harmony the pack or I pulled 3 with charm, mez'd the green one, then double killed with inivis the two blue ones. Did that until 40.5 got bored, now i'm looking for a single spawn. Tried Oowomp, got some items, but he only gives 1% per kill (Level 40 is a hell level, but i still want at least 2% per kill). Plus oowomp required me to bring in the Ench pet and dual weild, buff, etc. The Misty guards, all i did was Nuke, Root, Tash. EZ.
