The classes are balanced though!!! Every class has it's purpose and the
reason necros have good pets is because they suck in groups. It's true they
can't dish damage even at high level there not that great in groups. About
all they have are their pets and a dd that has a long ass receast time and
is basically bad not to mention it's fire based which means most places it
will get resisted. The dots take over 2 minutes to use so basically I got my
pet left over and a undead nuke spell. So basically if I'm not hunting
undead I'm screwed in groups. Especially in Solusk dungeons where my best
dot and my best dd are automatically resisted. So now I'm left with a pet.
See why necros pets are so powerful now?
