That necro forum is pretty good in general. I've heard people complain here about how EoT pet is horrible and non-classic... Everything those forums talk about seem to suggest that EoT was actually very bad in classic. Didn't dual wield, low max hit, etc. The one thing they talk about is how the pet is only usable cause his higher level let him hit more often and whatnot.
Got some good posts on Holgresh elder beads too for Velious:
