Necros on Raids

[Legidias]

A necro's role in raids is to have pet out and use skelly form DoT then get yelled at in shout, guild, and voice to not do either of these things and be a battery.

But yes everything people have said in this thread.

Does reclaim energy help if you have a summoned pet to use as a battery during down time?

I also heard lifetapping Eye of Zomm to get HP back is a pro move. Holgresh beads for the rich and famous, stalking probes for poor folk like us.

Holgresh Elder Beads are priceless in this regard. Having unlimited non-aggro mobs to tap is key. No need to manage hitpoints versus lich.

You can not summon the eye with any sort of pet up so it really makes this items borderline useless unless you are consigned to the fact that you are nothing but a mana battery.

I have always found shaman/druid regen to be sufficient

Except you aren't supposed to have a pet out in most raids. For me at least I used beads and VP staff every raid in ToV to counter lich after I dump all my mama into the clerics.

Daldaen just made a (really good) post without any mention of Agnarr or Luclin: he's back folks! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Add in Emissary of Thule pet with Haste if you can control him.

The bold part is key. Pet classes that don't watch their pet like a hawk (and as a Shaman I'm embarrassed to say this used to include me) can wipe an entire raid. I'm not saying you shouldn't use a pet, but if you have any doubts wait until you're certain: the extra DPS just isn't worth having an unwatched pet agro a mob before everyone is ready (or do some other stupid thing).

Raiding is cancer.

Make a short wish list and a time frame; get out before it's too late.
