Shadowknight vs Necromancer

[mcoy]

My 1hb is capped at 175. It's really annoying when you're trying to finish off a running level 30 mob and keep missing or hitting for minimal damage. I sometimes end up rooting them and using my Donal's boots because their 12dps is sadly better, or just saying screw it I need to med anyway and drop another 1.5 minutes worth of mana nuking them.

I second that. Pretty much was my experience also.

on a side note, I think lay on hands = paladin alive for longer to do more dps than an eventual 750? 800? HT?

Cheal obviously is a game changer if you have another person playing a melee. That requires two people though.

I think SK sorta wins out though in the mid-range because taps + dots and it's not about staying alive forever, if you can't kill the mob anyway, what does an extra 1000 damage matter?

That's if the HT isnt resisted, which it seems to be a good 50% of the time even on blue mobs. My SK is only 40 though. Maybe it gets better?

Rogue is the right choice. Let everyone else do the leveling for you.

True. Get a serrated bone dirk and a bloodpoint. You're basically a SK. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SKs are underrated. If you look at classic, yeah, it was a sad existence. Kunark brought a mana pool balance, and some solid gear options (unless you played Iksar, of course). Velious obviously was quite a boon for the class, at the high end.

Solo it is OK if you have good gear. But the casting side is really bad until later levels. Best aggro-yanking in the game, tank-wise. With Death Peace, Darkness and a CoS, the best puller in the game during the Kunark->PoP era.

Oh! And fear-kiting the 4-neck dragons in WW was also possible in Velious era. I don't think I ever tried, but I knew a few BiS folks who did regularly.



TL;DR: Necro

[clevergirl]

I think I will try rolling a necro than. Seems like the right choice to make. I haven't played in awhile but I want to scratch the itch between love making sessions with my yoga mat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'll take any loot or twink items you fine folks want to share. PST Anavarra in game [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
