Game Mechanics: Q: How do DoTs Work Here?

[Rourk]

The only real 'dot class' on raids is necros. Shamans and druids have more important uses for their mana. It hinders necros, but like enus said there are only limited debuff slots and dots aren't a priority.

I like the playstyle of Necros in the leveling game but if its going to completely shift towards a non-DPS class in a large group environment I may just be best to delete Loretta and create a Wizard in her stead [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

I was surprised this discussion turned into such a hot debate, I rarely post and seldom play these days and it just popped into my head as one of those things.

If you're just looking at the raid picture, then yeah, wizard is a better choice.

If you enjoy playing a necro though, then play the necro. Mages get unnecessary in high-end raids too, but I won't be quitting my mage.
