To be completely cynical for a minute, I'd argue that the only way to
get results from Verant is to be a whiny brat. At least that's the
impression I'm getting from the recent necro nerf. Can you name one
other class that Verant has taken something away from then give 6 new
spells or abilities to to compensate? No one could possibly claim that
the necros presented their case in an adult manner.
