Tbh, necros aren't as bad as people make out. I was in bg this morning defending against an alb attack (only hib there) and again this evening against a bigger attack. Both times there were plenty of necros there and i didn't get killed by one once. Shure they nuked me through the wall a couple of times but when they did i just ran to opposite side of keep out of range. A lot of people don't seem to get this and i think 90% of necro deaths in a keep defence are down to the own persons stupidity (99% of statistics are made up on the spot ofc.....oh and i'm not saying anyone in this thread is stupid either )
I got this from observing people in the attack this evening, far too many hibs were getting hit by necros..then just droppin down behind the wall (which would work against a mage ofc, people need to learn to deal with necros tho) and standing there. I heal them to keep them up, they keep gettin nuked...still they stand (some even sat down at this point...like, nice, be a mana sponge ) i heal some more, still they get nuked and still they just stand there like a muppet.
Thing was, these muppets weren't learning because i was generally keeping them alive long enough for a ranger on the wall to start attacking the pet (at the expense of the majority of my mana bar).

My main tips for if there is a force attacking the keep you are defending that includes necros. (feel free to add more, these are just from my experiences in the bg as a druid)

1. If you are a healer/rezzer class then do not show your head up over the wall if at all possible. (contrary to what some people seem to believe necros do not have x-ray vision and need to see you atleast once to be able to target you and sick the pet). This means you should never get attacked by a necro and will be free to heal/rez everyone in the keep without interuption.

2. If you are a class other than a healer/rezzer then try to stick your head up as little as possible and only if you are doing something beneficial. I.e. don't just stand and gawp out the side of the keep, only be there if you are going to nuke/shoot at someone.

3. If you are gettin nuked, run to the opposite side of the keep as quickly as possible. If you can, stealth to lose target. If you aren't a stealther and are particularly paranoid that the necro who has you targeted is going to vindicitively try to finish you off by moving round the keep till he can get you back in range to nuke again...then relog so he loses the target. (had to do this this morning after i ran out of range, healed up, started gettin nuked again ran out of range again and healed then quickly relogged b4 he'd moved round again).


I would have thought those above guidelines were kind of obvious, but the number of people i saw not doing them tonight (especially the large number of people i saw not backing out of range) was cringe worthy and has lead me to believe otherwise.

I can't be bothered to read lessurl's above post because it's too bloody long! So I'm just going to whine about necros a bit:

I hate necros. Firstly, I hate the way they have lifetap, I hate the way you can't attack the shade until the pet dies. I hate the range on the lifetap, I hate the way that you see the pet casting the lifetap as you're running along, it's like 'oh shit, that necro is casting, looks like I'm waiting another 15 mins on telepad!'. This is only from my personal experience, but, I've also noticed that 90% of necros are idiots. Which makes me hate them even moreso. I also hate the look of their pet, which kind of dances around and then bends over as it casts on you. The shade is annoying too, the way it floats around and casts purple shit on your head as you try to kill the pet. Hmm what else? Ah yes, I also hate the way the necro seems to have af of a tank and hps of a tank but still has the abilities of a caster. What were mythic thinking.

Flame at will. Just some things I wanted to get off of my chest.

Bye.

Short version: I noticed the majority of deaths to necros in a keep defence i was in last night was because the person gettin nuked was too stupid to try to get out of range. Just stood (some even sat) there while they got nuked to death. I ran out of range whenever a necro started nuking me and didn't die to one in 2 seperate keep defences.

Ahh wondered who you were your Shawr , invited you to our group tonight , Slinker's the name

Actually I have to admit , never realised it was a necro that got me and I sat down , oops , had a good healer on me and expaining to me very nicely to "FECKIN MOVE" never did it again

Aha, maybe that's what my flaw was. I never swore at anyone, just quietly healed them and hoped they'd learn what they were doin wrong.


Capped out tho, so i'll have to wait till i lvl to bg3 before i can make and use a "Necro on you, move ffs!!" macro.

Ahh at last// Albs have competion for over powered chanters and zerkers.. hurrah !!
long live the necros ....

Rather than moan and whine about necros - I am getting even.

Trust me, there is nothing more delightful than the look that appears on the face of an inconnu as he tries to shuffle vainly away from the huge beast he just pulled that split second after I drop his pet in DF

So any necros you really dislike - just pass me on their names and ill be sure to send them my personal regards.

another thing you can do is run to the top of the keep, too far away for the necro to nuke you (diagnal distance).

glad to see someone's finally trying to use their head to counter necros instead of whining about'em

 

[Faeldawn]

Set yer pets on theirs, when they nuke you have pet on defensive and it will go to attack the necropet.

When defending thid with my druid, i used to wander into necro aoe just to do this, worked a few times, failed a few.

Disable the pet and the necro is helpless, mezz it, stun it, kill it.

That pretty much sums up why I like playing my necro

If your going to cry at Necro los nukeing you in keeps, at least learn a how to play.

A: unless you have a reason for looking over wall DONT, unlike everyone trys to say, a necro can not F8 you through keep wall. But once you let him targer you once he can nuke as much as he likes.

B: If nuked in keep move ffs, my old necro only killed the idiots to busy typeing "nerf necro he is nukeing through wall" when the smart ones just ran out of range.

C: This one made me laugh the most while playing a necro in thid, you hear damn those lifetaps hurt nerf them, but I swear I only ever saw about 4 players who had ANY spirit resist

Sure Necro can be a royal pain in the arse, but rather than yell nerf why not play one and find out what kills them

 

[BlitheringIdiot]

They arent that great when solo, I'd rather run into a necro than an enchanter. But a grp of necro's is just plain evil, and when you put a wall around them, with the LoS problems, it gets even worse.

Once LoS issues are fixed though, this will be a pants class to play.

I have read lots of posts about necros and LOS...why has nobody mentioned mushrooms ?? (forest hearts..just incase). It seems as though those things can just be dumped anywhere. Ok..they do die by themselves after a while..i think..But..what is it when attacking a keeps outer door (BG1 for example) does the mushroom blast away till we are all dead or running away in a mad panic..or was that just me !!. If it isnt the mushroom doing the damage..what the hell is ??...( eek..left it wide open for flames ((o: )

mushrooms choose random targets and do pretty crappy damage

but true, they abuse los too

 

[heath]

Cheers mate..i was wondering...only noticed because they kept breaking my stealth right by the doors..waiting to pounce on some poor unsuspecting fool porting out ((o:

 

[[PS]Nova]

Mushrooms are nasty little thing...

But I can kill them! Along with the rest of the alb zerg of course
