Sight necro for group rvr :O?

 

[Anarawan]

setup 1 and drop heretic for caba.

caba debuff + air theurg rox

 

[Golena]

Sight necro for group rvr :O?

AF debuff...

Necro's are probably the most underrated rvr class in the game, mainly because there's so few people that know how to play them or what they can do.

 

[Basic_X]

woting whatever setup that uses heretics (so i have to choose more then 1 option ;o)

 

[CorNokZ]

NONE OF THEM!

this was a poll for a tank group, not a caster group min you, linked to my tank group interest check ^^.

 

[Darzil]

AF debuff...

Necro's are probably the most underrated rvr class in the game, mainly because there's so few people that know how to play them or what they can do.

Yup, -250 delve AF debuff - so it'll do 25% more than that (312), or up to 390 with +25% stat debuff. That'll double the damage a lot of tanks take from melee hits !

My buffed necro pet hitted a RR10 Berserker yesterday for ~180-200 damage per swing. After level 50 debuff, i hitted for my pet cap melee damage (409 dmg) per swing..
After what i've experience, the debuff make you cap your swings/styles on everything up too studded/reinforced. After that you won't cap, but you are damn close..

I agree that necros are underrated, but i also understand why ppl don't use them in groups. Sure they are melee immune, and surte they can abs alot of magic dmg - so with good template insta kills isn't possible. However, healing a necro in group is a pain in the arse. Clerics eighter have to press name in group window then face and try to find the pet, target it and heal - or use spread heal everytime pet looses HP. And if necro and caster dies, there isn't much point in ressing them unless they're RR5+..

But I'd love to try the setup i mentioned. It wouldn't be a pwn ass group, but it sure would be fun to try it out and evening or two - but nobody wants to play with me!

As a sorc, my ideal would be

Cleric
Cleric
Sorc
Sorc/Mincer
Scout-Merc spec - MoS4 min
Tank
Tank
Firewiz


Mincer has mincer speed, and other useful chants, which means sorc can run unity of mind. If no Mincer, two sorcs means two pets in group which are useful, speed and unity. Means two chances at cure mezz, lay mezz, dot, debuf, and demezz, especially if each agrees to use purge seperately.

Scout leads the sticky, with MoS4 can spot those pesky stealthers, especially rangers and bow classes, this means easy RPs pawning soloers - not polite in theory but has happened to me so often i don't give a stuff, and even better MoS4/5 scout can spot hib/mid stealth zergs. Plus, there are always stealthers trailing after fg/bgs, so you know there's probably something else about.

Tanks to wade into the center of things and draw agro, clean up the mezzed, while sorcs stand back with clerics, along with fire wiz, and work from distance. I have only had this setup once and it worked bueatifully.

I think swapping the second cleric for a Friar would also work well.

 

[whinersmincer]

omg i think the best setup is

wizard
cabba
cabba
sorc
cleric
cleric
tic
thuig

 

[Demon2k3]

close this thread please, this was a bout a tank group not caster groups. I ASKED for the best tank group setup rather than the solo ganker, uber caster groups.

as i'm also a hib, i can say this setup is most hardest to fight against.
A well played (earth) therug is just awesome to fight against. Same for the mincer.
If u don't have moc ready, u wont get any cast done against this setup except quickcast.
If u are well in kiting, u can try this:
cleric
cleric
pally
sorc
kabba
kabba
