Goths don't have the imagination for such rituals

Kiss my gothic arse :kissit:

summon pet, pet cast spells, pet owns mob, like a cabby cept pet casts spells, nothin much new imo.

 

[Sarum TheBlack]

It's.. different.. yes.. but that is the whole point of the SI classes, they are fairly different (more more than others, the 3 new pet classes are very distinct from each other, and what we've had before). "A Good Thing" (tm) IMO,

Loaded a necro on Camlann to see what it was like.

In all the time I've been playing the game it was the first char I've played that can take yellow con mobs at lvl1 through to lvl 5(though I've tended to casters, don't know about other classes).

At lvl5 deathsight spec suddenly you've got a mob munching machine with zero downtime and I seem to remember Brannor saying you can do up to red with no downtime (might remember this wrong though, I often do ).

Nice PvE class, don't know about RvR

erm u missed my point

thats like saying
warrior,thane,skald,paladin.armsman,hero,champ,merc etc etc hit F8 and wait 3 minutes.....

the whole point was the complete weirdness of it.

anyway the whole game boils down to number 1>10

Well, yeah it is fairly weird, also the fact that the spells are a tad on the powerfull side, but the pet take 20 secs to cast ZZZZzzzZZZZzzzzz

LOL - I tried a necro, cast the summon zombie spell, saw the animation and then he just sat there waving his hands. Hmmmm, bug I thought - this new class doesn't work properly. Finally delved it and saw 20 secs to cast ! What a noob

I played against a few in the bg's. my group got totally owned by a shed load of necro's. I felt much better when i heard they get nerfed in future patches. Not much fun getting nuked to hell by a pet.

 

[Falcon]

I encountered one in BGs as my animist. I was fucked off how the pet could nuke me through walls with nothing I could do and how overpowering this is....

...Then I realised my army of shrooms were shooting it back through the walls and kicking it's arse so I just laughed instead

hehe like alb/mids been since the beta ?
(btw the pet IS the necro)

anyway Necros are awsome for Soloxping. and the effects rocks

I made mistake, thought i wasnt able to cast so kept stoping it untill a kind necro explained what i had to do.
idea is same as cabby but still different since you cant be attacked untill pet is dead for example. plus zombies always look funnier

Exactly like chanter pets then?, We've had to put up with no LOS pets since .. forever.

 

[Coren]

And when you kill a chanter pet, you still have the chanter himself to deal with.

Necro without a pet is well... :/

That's like saying "People have been commiting murder for centuries so if someone else wants to commit murder they can."

Both instances are wrong and I can't wait for the LoS fixes to go in.

shrooms to necro= batteries to top up our power, nothing more

Necro has 20 second cast time on pets, no AF buff, no BT, no quick-cast (except the one for the pet) for one reason; if they are caught without pet by an enemy they should NOT live through it

Imagine if it was 10 seconds to summon and necro had quick-cast.. oops pet died, I'll just make a new one in 5 seconds.. would be like perfect recovery on a 20 second timer.. allmost =)

 

[bone_idle]

You cant go by BG experience by what ive seen in the past anyway. We'll see these new characters shine when we hit 50 in real rvr.

I never said it was right. I just thought I'd point out its not a necro thing, but rather pets in general (mobs in general really... guards, sorc charmed pets etc can all shoot through keep walls). What I was saying was: like drugs, pet LOS abuse wasn't invented last week, people have been doing it a long time (in the case of drugs, almost since the dawn of time), it's still wrong, but it's nothing new.

 

[mid_Efour]

drug abuse was only deemed wrong in the early 20th centurary by many western cultures.
