Mage vs necro; my experience

[Kawhi]

Every time I lose 60 on my necro, I get the painful reminder of just how much better Demi Lich is than Lich. The difference between a 59 necro and a 60 necro is substantial because of it.

I know my ranger loves to duo with necromancers.

For starters they can Rez! On top and of that I can boost their regen, helping them gather mana to Rez more quickly!

And they love the buffs I can drop in their pets; boosting tanking and dps while they wait for me to recover from dieing!

I thought mages were cool until I got a tolan's bracer.

If you haven’t noticed yet, troxx churns out 60s mostly in KC. So yes, mages will be king there. To those of us who have spent a few hours tops in KC in all of p99, and who prefer soloing with some fun duo/trio mixed in, then necro wins 100% of the time.

IMO mage is best as a farm class at higher levels. Start clearing dungeons and summon WR bags. I’ve heard of people pulling 2-4K an hour this way. If you want to do big dps and be relevant in raids, just play a rogue.

Really doubt 2k+ per hour is a sustainable number.

People over estimate or straight up lie about numbers all the time.

Not denying this, but don’t underestimate how many people keep their pp farming secrets to themselves.

Someone give me a high level mage account and I’ll gladly test this and split the profits!

You have no idea where or how I “churn out” my 60s.

Precisely one of them spent significant time in KC 55+. That one hit 60 in KC soloing basement (paladin).

Troxx bard hit 60 in SG
Bedavir Warrior in paebala DN
Mage and shaman in Seb.
Druid in WW.

I know it’s your generally your style but there’s no need to be an inflammatory hemorrhoid Crede.

Have we even ever played together in game?

Can you still do that after they nerfed the ore drops? I figured that method of farming died with that nerf.

I finally got a group, MNK/SHM/NEC (and a Paladin after a bit) and after a little faux pas to begin (EEs - 1) we averaged over 1 kill per minute, and that was at the relatively high level Hand/BG camp. Hopefully Crede will not give me a dose of his KC elitism! I do need to get another HS key, though.

Also, I think the point Tecmos and I are trying to make is that 2-4 man groups where Necros shine provide the best loot, the best XP, and by far the most fun. Which is why it continues to baffle me how literally no one wants to group with my poor baby Necro.

P.S. nice to see Troxx is finally cleaning up his signature. Next is a few months in HOT every night . . . .

Necro now has 30% to go. Monk has been at 90% forever. I really wanted to hold off on hitting 60 until final patch but we’ll see.
