Necromancer Hunting Guide

[calaran]

I added something I called the Necromancer Hunting Guide on the wiki, but I guess it's more of a Solo Guide with playstyle and area suggestions by level. Please, all you people who actually know how to play your Necromancers, feel free to head over there and add to/change it:

cool idea btw


also, do you still have that necro dot dps chart? i was looking for it but couldnt find it =(

 

[calaran]

Hmmm... gah... don't think I do, but I'll search the forums. I created that when I was working elsewhere, and I'm not certain it came along with me, but I'll look around and see what I find. I would rather find the thread, because other people REALLY improved it and made it more accurate and informative.

Let me see what I can find.

Found it. Here's the thread, I would recommend Taedirk's post for accuracy and info:

So necro's cant fear kite?  Was that overpowered or something. Or because it could be used to grief other players maybe.

Well, they may be able to now, I don't honestly know. The reason they couldn't when I first started playing one is that Fear pathing was not implemented.... So... no fear. But, I saw patch messages a long while ago about fear pathing being added, just not sure if that is in place or not, and if it is, whether that has made fear kiting a viable method again.

I tried fearing an animal in Oasis last night (Druid here, not a Necro), and got a message that "Fear had not been implemented here yet" or something like that.

Get some SoW potions and stick to pet kiting in open areas... plenty of good hunting around.

There are a few places where fear works but to be honest you don't really need it.
Darkness and later on root is everything you need to be succesful when you can't find a group, the way to get up there is on the Wiki.
Just play around with some other Necro abilities and you won't miss fear that much at all.
