Who says Necromancers don't get any Dev Love!?

Greetings fellow necromancers. It seems the devs have been busy trying to fix the woes of our class. In particular there are two updates currently patched to the Test Server that have been major points of discussion and cause for Necro stress in the recent weeks. Here is the necro specific info from this new Test Center Patch:

GAMEPLAY NOTES
- Fix for DoTs not working in PvP

ADVENTURING NOTES
- Necromancer - Necromancer abomination no longer requires that all the grafts be reequipped after relogging. Additionally, if you log out with your minion still summoned, you will no longer have to recast it when you log back in.

The Graft fix is a huge fix for all necros and the PVP crowd will be very happy to know that the devs have pushed the DoT fix to test.

The persistent pet after logout and login is an unexpected treat.. thanks for that!

Persistant pet? I have a Persistant pet... everytime I zone my pet bar drops and I get a free pet that does nothing but stand around. Fix that one too guys :P

Necro specific one to add from notes:

- Nusibe Necropolis – Necromancers should keep an eye out for a quest-starting orb.

It's funny because DOT's in PvP are still COMPLETELY BROKEN!

I actually have that orb already. Need 10 Spirit orb somethings, need to kill 35 undead and um...something else. Picked it up while i was soloing there, has no quest description, only an objective list.

lol been waiting for this patch to go to live. Being a necro on the pvp server is not fun when the server all knows you are just able to kill via your pet / a few low level DDs lol not that I have had troubles killing / defending. Just be nice to throw devouring shadows on that group of 7 pkers chasing me. :) Thanks for the dot fix :) Big life saver. The pet pieces are nice as well, but agree rather them fix the pet chunk / recall issues.

hmmm.... I may start playing my necro again after all! I stopped b/c the class seemed way too broken for my taste. What's the point playing a paper-wearing caster on a ffa pvp server if you get slaughtered whenever you try to pvp? lol, if you didn't have trouble killing/defending, then you probably are just talking about those few times when you fought lowbies, psi/sorc, or got really lucky and found one of those ridiculous grafts that nearly 2-shots melee fighters in medium armor (which is overpowered btw) and hid behind a tree or rock while your minion did your deeds. Weak.

As of this morning, when these changes went live, my abomination now reappears when I log in and the grafts also appear; however, the grafts do not work until they are unequipped and re-equipped.
