More attractive, but still terrible.
It took Funeral Pyre and high AC mobs to bring necros back to DPS mediocrity. DOTs did fuck all until they changed Extended Affliction Foci to Burning Affliction while simultaneously halving DOT durations while keeping the overall damage the same. At that point, they became competitive.
Prenerfed mod-rods are what fuel your CH chain in Velious, not twitch. Pretty simple to manage, have a few mages shitting rods in a corner for 3 minutes before you engage the dragon. Have the druids who haven't rerolled clerics heal the clerics. Torpor is effective for healing modrods, but the important piece here is that you want your druids to feel ashamed of the choices that they made at the character select screen.
