was curious as to whether a servant spec necro, bb and a few to take care of the adds can take the centaur cheifs that drop the zepyhr loot. afaik it was possible on mid with fds pre water abuse nerf but since the necro dmg shield is different does it still work on alb? :)

checked on one of the mobs, if it being just lvl 62 it should be very possible to use a servantnecro/BB to farm them. Unsure about adds and how many, CBA to try it out myself.
Remember, a servant necro/bb can farm SoM3 mobs ie. lvl 61-66, Artimobs up to lvl 75+ and so on, so it should be quite possible to farm lvl62 mobs with a few adds.

Sight necros + bb can farm level 62 mobs (farmed a few with 18 dservant).

As long as you have the power, the time and 'easy-to-hold-aggro' mobs then most encounters are very very easy for servant necro/bb.

Infact, for some encounters u don't even need a fop (for higher encounters i mean). Huge power pool, power regen charge on the cetus cloak and power pots should do the trick (and mcl of course - possibly serenity).

just get 2l5 for mlc2, very important when doing some artis and farming mobs imo and you dont need +11 to death servant, maybe +3 so you get 50 but not more

recent tests made me think this. (buffbot user)


servant spec necro...
don't take MCl for realm skills... get tartaros staff. for a charge ... haven't tested that yet... but according to FH readers is does work while in shade.
and as for realm skill go for .... damn, can't recall name atm... bah!!... power add usable in combat....(help me out here !!! to lazy to look it up)

i'll tell you why, as a servant necro you tend to run out off power in mid combat.. due to the low level power tap... you will have a lot off resists...
as for the left over points you just take mastery of magery and wild power, if you have eny left. if you play without a buffbot, take dex con and int.
as for the rest for a necromancer.. cap crush, slash, thrust, hits con, dex, quick, all added bonuses from toa drops are nice... if you can get them.. can easely be done with common loot drops ... since you'll replace that stuff from time to time anyway, don't waist cash on a necro.

extra bonuses are sweet :for example..; bonus to duration off spells.; if you are not a bb user.. i would advice to test the add bonus to enhancement spells also.. loads of these staffs can be found at tartaros encounter, every pull 3+ staffs drop.



but still...


sight spec necro

this is still the king of farming....
looking at the locations where you are hunting in TOA, you will rather have one mob on you then a couple of them anyway... i've been farming around Typhons and ashen last couple of days and i have seen that i farmed a LOT more then when i was there with my servant necro. I was able to farm, eg: purporos, altheus, guardians, etc.. without any risk... i had to be carefull for Teletes, those are nasty nukers.. you'll need backup healing to get those. i think typhons has some off the more nastier mobs in toa.. so results do please me.




servant spec : sublime vs ONE verry high level mob that doesn't hit you for over 300 damage.

sight spec: all round farmer can do JUST as much as a servant ...but it will take a it longer


farmed tartaros with both necromancer specs... backup healer and good timing.. gets you all :)

From my own expierances / reading VNboards (which i know is crap half the time). MCL2 is a must as a servant necro, just stick your pet on passive and wait for damage shield to drop, 10 secs later you can use MCL. Tartaros staff only works when your not a shade, So tart staff is a big no no. For RA's go MCL2, Ethereal bond 2 or 3, Toughness. Get a 50 enhance bot with fop and your laughing.
Check http://home.comcast.net/~kevsmart/index.html its a nice site for us servant necro's.

Also, if I have a Summoning suit with capped hits + con, do I need any hits and con on the Active Fighting suit as well, or can I change hits and the con to as much power as I can get? Ofc dex and int is capped on Fighting suit as well.

Soz for all the n00b questions :)

If you want to get the 'very-very' most out of your necromancer then yes.
