Are Necromancers Just Terrible? Am I Missing Something? - Page 3

Necromancers can be powerful when played right, but like EVERY OTHER non sorcerer class .. if you get a resist and someone gets up on you, you die.

Oh, and to the retard a few posts up who said coercers were a weak PVP class? Holy fucking shit, learn to play.

Warlocks, illus, and wizards are quite powerful as mages go.

lol.. coercer's pwn. There just aren't any that solo. Duel a coercer, see if you don't get destroyed.

Not everyone has ranged capability =p

A good coercer will mez you before you get the ability to pop your cure arcane, and then load you up on reactives. A better coercer will figure out a way to snare you and root you as well.

Exceptional coercers will make use of their Amnesia for those pesky Mischief Maker using players.

Everyone has use of a ranged ability in some sort, especially you as a dirge, goddamnit you annoy me.

I left the game over a year ago and at the time my necro was capped at lvl 70 with all my AA's (kinda spec'd for raiding mostly).

back then, i'm telling you, my necro was so much fun to play. 1v1 pvp I could more than hold my own, the only problems i would have would be those damn rangers! hehe and other scouts for that matter. In a group i was devistating.

I recently came back to the game and started playing my necro again, it's night and day, I can't do sh!t 1v1 anymore and when in a group i just get completely focused on and i'm dead w/in seconds. I had a ranger back shot me the other day for 3400 pts of damage...that's like 80% of my health!, i was dead before i knew i was supposed to be running away.

My point is, whatever Sony did , they put necros at the bottom of the food chain and took the fun out of the class. Now, unless i have undead tide available...i'm not winning a fight....and even then, i have to do everything right and god help me if one single root, snare, fear, or life tap gets resisted!

Funny thing is...solo PvE...there is no class that comes close to a necro...not right now anyway.

If there IS a worse class in solo pvp its conjuor. Both classes are walking Faction factories.

Darkhain · 03-14-2008, 10:45 AM

conjuror is not that bad in either solo and grp pvp, most of them just suxx.

While it's certainly not an uber class, there is really no class i can't 1v1 and beat occasionally, with the possible exception of a good brawler and always a ranger at range (but if a ranger is good, there's no mage class that can beat them because we don't have spells that can go 45+ meters and just snare/auto attack to death). Are ther some classes that are really hard to beat? Yes, I'll lose usually to a good SK, Pally, Coercer, Illusionist and some others...but there are some classes that i almost always beat as well.

I don't think summoners are as gimped as some woudl like to believe, but i'm all for supporting the theory because it would be nice to get some additional buffage.
