Necros are lame.. I'm going back to my Drewd!

tsk tsk tsk... Impatient little Necromancer. How quickly you are to judge the rest of your life from only it's first few years or few few steps you might say. Do you really think that the fate of the necromancer was to be frail and weak their entire careers in the dark art of necromancy? As the old saying goes, good things come with time...

I have seen and heard entirely too many new necromancers (level 1 - 4'ish) complaining about the class and disliking it after only a couple levels. I can not vouch for all classes but from the few I have personally played, the necromancer is the one that started off the gimpiest. The necromancer core abilities build up over the first 10 levels and until you really have gained them all you do not have a real understanding of how the class plays or how they compare to other classes in regards to power, solo ability, group ability, etc.

Once you have your abomination and pet heal (lvl 4), snare (torment - lvl 2), fear (lvl 6), and drain life (lvl 8) your life as a necromancer will be much more interesting.

So before you run away in despair feeling that your short lived life as a Necromancer of Telon was wasted, give it until lvl 10 before you make your decision. You might be surprised as the difference a few levels will make.

Hush! Don't let too many people know how wonderful this class really is!

Dear Lifebane,

I couldn't have addressed the noobie crowd any more subtly than you just have.

Great Article, (as always?)!

Actually tried a Drewd (sp, lol) during beta, but my first experience with Necro was when I rolled one up this past weekend. Once you get past level 6 unlife just keeps getting better and better.
Soloing is a breeze (send pet in to get aggro, Torment, Pestilence, then Fear to save having to heal pet, couple Bone Spikes, mob dies, Vile Ritual on corpse to recharge, wash, rinse, repeat).

Sry, should have said "Plague of Infestation" instead of Pestilence.

Not everyone can be a Necro. Most ppl are nubs! Actually I didnt like the class that much in the beginning. I cant imagine not having one now.

I don't know what power other classes really wield ... but an example: As a 25 Necro I could take on two 26th level 3 dot mobs at once. All you need is room to juggle both on fear and dots, pet and minion chasing. It's thrilling, you'll get whacked, it's big fun!

At 26 the same stunt has become easy enough to do half a level in two and a half hours, including raising harvesting skills significantly.
