Necro question

[Deskiziado]

Is death servant a bad spec? I see that almost nobody spec it, but DD shout and PBAE seems good for a offensive necro. With death servant 47 and deathsight 26 you get PBAE, DD and some pow transfer/drain. Is deathsight the most common spec due power trasfer only and because is easiest get group?

only got my lickle necro to 22 but i belive stick to deathsight to lvl your char up then a respec to painworking for keep defense is good if thats what you wanna do...

i think it just depends on what you wanna do with your necro.. deathsight is good for lvling and power taps/transfer.

I would guess deathservant/painworking arent considered much cop because other classes are much better at using these types of attacks {caba/wiz}

just my thoughts anyway

not so much that it's a bad spec ( a good spec would be split sight/servant ) as it has many usefulness's ... just the pbaoe isnt_that_great + you have to face the pet to use it ( which can be annoying in RvR )

And most ppl who use the Deathsight spec should be soloing ( even though the mana transfer is very good for groups ) just it's a hell of a lot faster solo.

Hope this helps..

Thx for response.

You are right sieben, necro PB is worse than wizz PB, but i read deathsight is nerfed in next patch (that's sound me, another nerf to albion).

Think i'll try a servant spec at least to new lowest BG, if is too bad i'll recpec it to deadsight.

Thx to both

np mate, enjoy and let us know how you get on with dserv.

not aware of a deathsight nerf next patch, its actually a LOS "fix" affecting all realms, however it will affect the necro worse then all others because YOU {the shade} must be in line of sight of the pet which must be in line of sight of the nme target...

therefore you {the shade} will need to stand in front of your pet EVERYTIME to cast, which means you cant keep an eye on pet and nme targets easily, this means LOS while solving the abusive sides of the necro will basically nerf the necro as it will be SOOOOOO difficult to control/cast with your dumb pet, especially in high paced scenarious where you have to act quick instead of taking 30mins lining yourself up in sight of your pet etc.. blah blah blah...

have fun though

Problem is with other speccs except deathsight necros xping will actually have DT
Tbh though, best team i saw around while xping with my necro was a necro double team,one sight specc and other servant. One was always "tanking" and other one always had something to drain fromwithout worrying if it would come close. Nice thought i would say

Although most people consider sight to be the solo spec its also a viable group spec. The power transfer is fantastic for keeping a group going, especially when used on a high damage caster or healer. The lvl48 absorb buff rocks (9% absorb) and the lvl 50 af debuff is insane.

Use baseline pain snare on a tank, then hit af debuff while hes going nowhere and watch an infil one shot him ^_^. Funny sight tbh
