Default NECROS IN VELIOUS?

Yap.

So on a super basic level, necros are underpowered right now for PVP, from what I've heard it's due to dispellable DOTS and long cast times. How do they fare in Velious PVP?

Gear may allow fights to go longer (Melee DPS will be higher though so probably not much longer).

I would say your struggle against melees will get slightly worse.

You may close the gap slightly with other casters because of more hps and resists on gear. Longer the fight better for a necro vs druid/wiz. It really depends on how the extra resists work with nukes, and that is unknown.

when they patch in the new resist and AC code, pretty much every class will drop in power except for necro

Do pets reflect live damage in pvp ie negligible ?

Considering pets are situational (cast time, mana, limits your ability to navigate certain areas), I don't see why there can't be some adjustments made in the spirit of balance. It is a double edged sword anyways, seeing as how it makes you a higher priority target as a result (see: Mages of vztz).

How to deal with necro pets in pvp;
Use fear,
If that doesn't work try root.
Profit.

well played necro should kill any caster now, provided they are equally geared they are nowhere near as powerful as live and that has been a turn off to most people playing the class here. You can get kills with trucidation, but they're not great in mass pvp just a low impact class if you're talking skirmishes on this box like 1v1 3v3, they're just as good.

i had recently switched from bis geared wiz to necro just cuz every1 and their aunt rolls wiz here, they can do well.. maybe the added hp/mana will help vs melees
