Funny you devolved it to Nazis so quickly though. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

You brought up ruthless dictators, and I went from that to Hitler, and then you said ^

If that quote in that context doesn't imply that I'm a Nazi, wtf is it supposed to mean?

Lol 2 FD's before you can't charge it then another trip to sky

Would have to agree with Shaman in this argument though.... who else can solo Velious dragons?

I'm amazed Godwin's Law kicked in only on page 4.

If I remember correctly, Chanty and druid with charm (some dragons at least, by charming the worms in the WW), maybe an epic mage. Not sure about necros as all the named dragons of that zone summon IIRC.

A druid is certainly capable of soloing Yeldema, although Yeldema is hardly a WW dragon; a druid soloing any of the other dragons would be a much more impressive feat.

Don't get the obsession with WW dragons apart from Sont, they drop shit.

When have you EVER posted a response worth a Fuck? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] What else can I say?? I have been on here for close to 3 years. You have to be the most useless poster on here.

mages are great if you know how to use one, which goes for just about every class.

They aren't as good as necros in most scenarios, but they are better in a couple of cases. This isn't to say they can't accomplish the same goals a necromancer does, it's just that they have a much "harder" time.

Shamans are better soloing class than necros, they aren't really a better farming class though. Yeah, they can solo shit that no other class can, but it takes them quite awhile to do it. Velious is when they will shine and necros won't, but in Kunark, there isn't much a Shaman can solo that is worth it where a necro can't solo.

Moving to duo, a shaman is MUCH more preferable than a necro. Which is where you should be focusing on. EQ, DUOs, and TRIOs, are where the real power houses come in at.

If you're going to look at a class that works well with a few others, NECRO > Mage by far in DUOs and TRIOs. Shaman is obviously one of the top DUO partners and a decent TRIO member.

So are you looking to farm? keep your necro and skip mage.
are you looking to solo the hardest mobs that are soloable? roll a Shaman
Are you wanting to Duo and trio content? Stick with your necro or reroll a Shaman.
Are you wanting to play a mage just to play one? Then why did you make this?

Coth can be used as a means to escape aggro, but it's not a quick escape. Necros have so many more tricks tho.

I play a mage and I have duoed from 1 to 47 with my friend who uses a necro. Although I admit that there is a much better combo out there, and that although mages can solo, they can't do it to the velocity that a necro can, but it's quite a bit of fun. I have thoroughly enjoyed the utilities and damage my mage can do, and if you don't like soloing too much mages are definitely sought after in the group scene.
