I somehow have a feeling ALOT of infiltrators will be pissed now.

Naah, they'll just take the necro they pl'd all their FoTM toons and play with that now it effectively has determination. Imagine a gank group with fully buffed necros instead of tanks.. could be nasty.

MoC is useless if your dead before you can cast with it :)

Necros are slowest casters in game - base dex and ToA casting speed bonuses doesnt transfer to pet so they are always at least 50 dex behind other casters. In fact tests showed that necros cast above the delve time with an unbuffed pet :/ Besides necros dont have "det" as such as they can only purge mezz, not stun, root or DoTs (which interrupt necros every tick).

AoE stun then PBAoE = dead necros.

Afaik chanters don't have an aoe stun, or dot, or mezz or root (dont know much about SM's).

Plus you have to get to point-blank range to use pbaoe, not so easy if the necro pack can see you coming.

Chanters can bring a bard who has AoE mezz then, still disables necros for 15 secs at least then stun each necro with single target stun (assuming theres only 2 necros as theres only 2 SMs/chanters). Also chanters can get some insta debuffs at 1500 range (same range as casted powerdrain) which also interrupt necros when used whether it sticks or not.

SMs can get an AoE mezz to disable the necros at 1500 range, although it has a 2 sec cast time it is still quicker than anything a necro can cast. SMs also can get a AoE dex/qui debuff which interrupts necros and is also instant. Pac healer would help SMs a lot with insta AoE stun at 1500 range.

Also confusion still works on necro pets afaik.... cast that on them and watch the necro pets run away leaving helpless squishy inconnus.
