Heh once you level up a bit more you will find there pets becoming more and
more uselss. Level 20 is still a nice pet level 24 ok level 29 pretty good
only because of duel wield 34 sucks and 39 sucks to. 44 is decent and 49
becomes very good again. It's just a natural course and some classes have
weak spots in their life but the rewards are greater in the end. It sounds
like you want everybody to be able to do the same thing why not just have
one class and save yourself the trouble? Seriously necros get pretty weak in
the 33-43 period of their life. Most necros go through mid life crisis and
simply put that's a damn long time for a weak period added onto kos and
other crap like that and you have a long hard life with great rewards in the
end.
