What is a 59 necro capable of in Velious?

[Hagglebaron]

So I got my old account pw with some assistance, my main is still intact so I won't be starting over after all. I do recall however that maining a necro was one of the reasons I eventually quit, got tired of playing mostly solo and the thought of grinding another character up to the 50's made my brain hurt.

How do necromancers fare in Velious, both in solo and grouping situations?

I may just roll up an alt anyways and see how much of the 1 - 60 grind I can stomach a second time through.

Thanks in advance for any input
