60 Necromancers in Velious

[Splorf22]

From what I have heard enchanters will get the shaft in velious even harder and more vigorously than necromancers. Magicians and Wizards won't be that happy either. Shaman will be great, but remember they also get to take tells for 'melee buffs plz' on raids [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The real problem is that Verant just sucked at balancing their games. In classic melee are hugely underpowered relative to casters. In Kunark melee almost catch up (or in our server with the huge lag of Velious, do catch up because so many L60s have their epic and tons of VP/Sky gear and Trakanon BPs etc). In Velious melee finally pass casters.

I'm interested to see how enchanters pan out in Velious here.

Enchanters wreck Kael via Direwolf Pets. Hit for 230s or so and don't summon. Plus, unlike giants, you can stun/mez them for recharm. Frost Giant Keep do less damage, but will break charm less. The kicker being that they are harder to recharm.

You can charm shit for Dain in Icewell, but not the dwarves. Stuff like the cubes in the banish area are fine.

Skyshrine and ToV have decent pets, but they're really fuckin' far away from where you're probably gonna be killing shit so unless you are clearing to shit (which for skyshrine is a giant 'fuck no'). ToV depends on whether TMO decides to pull dargons to Aary or fight them at spawn since hatchlings are near.

ST: Lol

Velks, Sontalak, Klandicar, Zlandicar, Neb, Vaniki all have decent pets available.

WToV and EToV, you're straight up fucked.

Enchanters are obviously useful for PoG.

Plus there's the whole deal with different mob factions in the same zone, which can make for some hilariously broken ways to kill raid mobs with an enchanter/bard and a couple FD'rs.

I agree with your pet charming view. But Man in Velious I remember it did not pay to be a Chanter. Mobs hit like hell, resists are threw the roof, Mobs have tons higher MR, some can't be mezzed, lots of Summon mobs, just ugly. I think they go down hill in Velious. Still need them though

They summon and i'm pretty sure aren't fearable. These 2 things make high end soloing for necros terrible, and even worse in areas without good charms.

So what can high end necros solo?

i know there were necros doing it during the Velious era on the EQLive Progression Servers.

of course, that has nothing to do with whether or not its doable on P99.
