Heh actually giants are harder then sea furies. There is a little unknown
fact about them but sinced they nerfed the exp I guess I can let it out.
Sea furies are just cyclops with a new name. At first they dropped the same
words a normal cyclops did. Verant forgot to upgrade the ac and attack
rating heh.
In other words I'm not talking about resisted I'm saying a necro without a
pet unless fighting undead is basically uselss. The dots take way to long at
high levels excluding planes to be of use. The only thing that it helps
mildly with is the ghoul lord which has about 10k hp but even then they only
do half to 3/4 damage. Besides the fact that the only real good dot besides
lifetap is heat based which means you can't use it in half of the high level
zones and as it is don't ask me why but high level mobs in general are more
resistable to heat spells then cold. Why do you think high level druids
complained that they couldn't use any dd spells because they were all fire
based and now have a cold based spell? Simple fact of the matter is that
without a pet I'm useless in a group unless in the planes or fighting
undead. I can't nuke, I can't dot because they are extremly slow unlike the
shaman poison dots which work in 40 seconds. I can't heal very well. So what
can I do? Use a kick ass pet that takes a lot of work to use.

P.S. Why repond to this but skip over my test report post?
