Necro Spec?

[Critical Error]

Hi all. Just wondering what other people think is the best spec for necros. I currently went alteration because I figure shaving some mana off my lifetaps and twitches will pay off (damn twitches are inefficient). But I see that a lot of my DoTs are conjuration. Just wondering if I made a mistake by going alteration.

Lol, I couldnt let the game choose because Im a fairly generous user of invis and dead-eye, and my toon really liked getting skill-ups in divinitation. I had to take and spam allure.

Conjuration all the way.

Yeah whatever you do, (take care of your shoe! sorry had to), just make sure you dont end up specializing Divination ^^

lol, good advice :p

Here's how I look at it:

Do Conjuration if you prefer to solo. Cheaper pet casts go a long away, as well as being able to cast more snares if need be. Alteration is the best choice for if you're interested in grouping/raiding a lot. Makes your main nuke more effective.

That's my 2 cents.

Alteration, all the way.

Can I get a "Wut? Wut?" for Abjuration?

For what? FD and shields?

Alteration, all the way.

This.

I don't think it's even debatable.

This.

I don't think it's even debatable.

It isn't debatable imo...Alteration ftw.

To me the debate between Alteration and Conjuration also depends on what level cap is in place.

For P99, Alteration focus is obvious. However, if we're talking about EQ Live a vast majority of the spells you will be casting from 60 onwards will be Conjuration based DoTs. That was also my thinking in suggesting Conjuration as an alternative to Alteration for specialization.
