Mage or Necro For Farming?

[Skope]

If we're talking about farming in further expansions it's probably necro. Chain-casting pets becomes slow when compared to root-rot, fear kite or even heal pet and DoT. If you nuke as a mage you'd better be prepared to burn it down and have a 5min med period. With a necro that's not the case; the hp>mana conversion becomes much more efficient and the DoTs put you at the top of the 2-3minute DPS charts.

So far sounds like i made the right choice rolling my Necro last week. Will probably just stay on my Necro then.

I don't really know the answer as I have not had experience playing a necro, but I can give you my side of the view as a level 50 mage. Mages are pure power and completely lack CC. We lack the ability to really break a camp well, but the 49 earth pet is so powerful that most of the time I will just take the camp at once. For instance, I broke the room with bubblehead in kedge alone with the earth pet. I have also figured out how to break Kings room in LGuk solo.

I guess I would say that Necros have the advantage in farming because they have more versatility since they can FD and get easier breaks, while a mage just has to try to take the multiples at once. Its hard to say though cause when you get that 49 earth pet you feel pretty unstoppable.

I see alot of people talking about how they are the #14 Druid, or the #2 this or #4 that. Exactly how are you ranking yourself?

This Mage killed 47 Moss Snakes and the runner up only killed 46?

It depends on what you're killing. Sometimes an earth pet can take a whole room where a necro pet would get nailed. Sometimes having FD is more of an asset in a deep dungeon crawl.

Sometimes there's a fight that an enchanter would trump both necromancer and magician. It really depends on the situation.

being a 50 nec myself , the farming grounds (lguk / oot ..) are shared under us nercos of this server . lord frenzy am allize and seafurys and specs are camped most of the time by necros .

so being a nec to farm , you made the right choice

I always gravitate back towards Necro... I just can't stay away.

A shame I can't make an Iksar yet, but Dark Elf will do...

By the time you should be farming on your necro is the time you should quit the game.

Every mother and their son has a necro farming somewhere, so just enjoy the game while it lasts.
