Necro raid viability
Hey guys. I'm relatively new to the community. Just recently started up on P99 and made a DE Necro currently lvl 14. My question to you guys is how viable are necros at the endgame/raiding scene? I've been told they're pretty much useless for raiding. Only really good for spamming mana battery on healers. Is this true or someone exaggerating? If this is true. What class would you guys recommend that's able to solo relatively well but is still desired for raiding at lvl 60? I play quite a bit during the day while at work and not many people are online the same time as me. So if I don't play a class that's able to solo decently I'll never hit 60. But at the same time I don't want to hit 60 and have no raid guilds interested in me either. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance [You must be logged in to view images.

Well, if this is anything like back in the day Necros are amazing in raids due to their high and consistent DPS in longer fights. Small group viability has always been a little lacking as their damage in short fights is very low. Twitching was always a necessary job as a Necro but I had it mastered where I could twitch while maintaining my DoTs.
I loved my Necro back in the day as I always had a spot in raids and in my off time I could solo pretty much anything (which is great for twinking alts!). | ||

Necro's are a utility class on raids.
They have a place in raids for sure.

Part of the problem necros have is the mindboggling nerf of all lifetaps last summer owing to the ivandyr's hoop idiocy where 40 knuckledraggers would just hoop a dragon down (32000/(150x5). I still have no idea why they didn't just fix the hoop (change cast time to 20s or whatever, or even just remove the effect) rather than nerfing all lifetaps. I'm told the Scimitar of Lifestealing doesn't even proc in VP because the spell is just disabled [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Why nerf a core (essential, really) class ability instead of a single item? It would be like if an item gave a charge of FD that people were using to train, so FD was nerfed across the board. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | |||

reading through some of those people's stories, they say they can tap inny and CT... That's not happening on p99, mine have always been resisted against them.

Necros are needed in the raid scene. That said they are VERY boring to play - you will be a mana battery and "sometimes" be able to use a pet. Your pet hardly damages the mob and doesnt resist most AEs (dies fast). The only fun thing is when the raid dies and you get to drag 40 bodys to a safe spot - now thats hella fun =P
