Kiting as a necro. Try it. Still takes about 40% mana to toss on all the dots (using lowest darkness spell) I dont like to take half an hour killing a mob with one dot, so I use 5. Fear kiting or regular kiting sucks now. I may be able to eat myself to reduce downtime, but still...
Either way, this nerf was removed later, so idc, it should be short lived.

You're doing it wrong. My necro leveled from 36-39 in about 3-4 hours in Overthere (despite neg or flat exp bonus). I'm not massively twinked, i don't have any items that make me more powerful than you.
You just have to optimize like a freaking beast. I.e, I only use engulfing darkness on thorny succulents, stoneleers, or Sarnak berzerkers because they have very low hp. Engulfing + vamp curse on spiked succs or dooming only if i don't need the hp. Just engulfing on kunark rhinos.
That + Invoke Fear = win.
Also, I use the heck out of the "mob runs @ approximately 15% health" thing. I don't re-fear unless the mob is above 45% or so. Usually engulfing lasted just long enough on barely dark blue mobs...
Dot stacking is for overhunting or killing mobs when you're not trying to exp. Your pet with two weapons and haste is far more efficient than any of your other dots.
