What do mages really have going for them?

Best theoretical any sized group is:
X amount of enchanters + 1 necromancer.

It’s been awhile help me out, why the necro?

He seems to be trying to make a group where the chanters are all paperthin and don't have malo for their pets and rely on necro heal over times to stay alive.

I guess the necro can help with pulls or something. As if 5 enchanters don't just "pull" by all casting aoe mez at the same time.

How would this be superior to having a healing class instead of the Necro? Any of the 3 healers seem to offer more benefit. Druid=snare, Shaman=malo, Cleric=survivability buffs and potent healing/stuns for charm break.

I agree with you. I was kinda poking fun at his group concept, but I guess it didnt come through the text well enough.

1 enchanter might work better with a necro. Maybe. But if you've got 2+, it seems the necro isnt providing anything needed that a wis caster can't provide better.

If you’re min maxing at that point you aren’t using a full group. There comes a point where more dps isn’t going to add much.

Looks like the resident brain trust forgot necros can charm, too. You don't need malo for anything with multiple enchanters charm breaks should be shut down so fast it's a joke. I could see an argument for using fully hasted/itemized pets + a druid, i guess. But druid/enchanter combos arent nearly as good in smalller groups like duo and trio if the necro can also charm.
