Necro VS Shamy for Velious
 

So I want to focus on one toon to get ready for Velious. I have an Iksar Necro and an Ogre Shaman. I want to group and also be able to do some solo/farming. Both classes can do well but I remember a lot of mobs summoning in Velious. Will that be a huge disadvantage for the necro?

Necros are damn near useless except for corpse summoning / pumping in velious. Resists make landing anything near impossible on raid targets and then there's debuff slots... Oh, and shamans become gods in velious o_o

We became gods in kunark, just sayin

Shaman are Gods in general, particularly for Velious.

Necros might have a LOT of fun things they can do as well, but Shaman are more powerful overall.

Necro haters

lawl.

Likely could run an entire raid with all shamans in Velious.


35 shams v. all

Any opportunity I've had to start a fresh main on an EQ server has been blown by not creating a shaman. I just can't stand being a buff whore..

Rogue at heart..

Sham > Necro.

Then again, get used to:

XXXX tells you, Str,sta,tali,pe,dex please

No other equally geared class is going to out solo a shaman on tough solo targets in Velious. The only real competitor is going to be an enchanter. Malo + Torpor + pet + some instant clickies /thread.

Wouldn't necro solo better out doors with fear kiting or we just talkin high end mobs dungeons ext
