Subject: Re: Necro balancing (was negativity)


Ugh. I play a necro and I'd dump all of these spells for my old pet. Heck
are spellist is even incomplete Verant admitted this. Half the spells are
upgrades or lower level version of spells that weren't in game or that were
supposed to be in game. Besides if you really want to get cynical then fine
lets do that.

Necro Nerfs

- First pet nerf
- Lich nerf ( way way back before most were 50 )
- Lifetap nerf
- dot nerf
- feign nerf
- pet nerf number 2
- Pact of the shadow nerf

Useful Enhancements

- Mes

The other new spells aren't in yet but they have been working on these for
awhile obviously to make necros more group friendly. The dot I'm unsure of
because word from test from 50 necros are saying that it is resisted more
then the 49th darkness mob which means it probably sucks. Debuff is nice but
only useful for groups. The mana pact should be interesting but I think it
will mainly be used to cut down on Corpse Retrieval. As for the others they
are just lower level versions of spells we get already.
