Shaman/Necro stacking

[UrsusMajor]

As a level 30 Necro, I'm currently using only 3 dots when fighting mobs: Engulfing Darkness, Vampiric Embrace and Heat Blood. Disease/Poison dots are ok, but these three accomplish more of what I need to do atm.

Engulfing Darkness, DoT + Snare
Vampiric Embrace, DoT + HoT
Heat Blood, DoT - my most powerful one at this level

My current highest level disease DoT is a PBAoE, which I don't really use and it's not that powerful atm. I do have another Poison DoT but again, it's not as powerful as Heat Blood is atm.

I could throw all 5 DoTs on the mob I'm fighting but that's pretty much a waste of mana. 3 DoTs + my buffed skeleton pet is all I really need just to solo. If you're duoing, I'd say only 2 DoTs are really needed, probably the Darkness line and Blood line, then throw in the Vamp HoT line when you need some health.

Necros need 2 spells to solo: Darkness and Disease cloud.

Turn off taunt, buff pet, pull with darkness, DC, and kite the thing until the pet kills it. Throw in the occasional tap and you are set. No down time.

Yeah, same spell Sks use for "perma" aggro. Pet does good dps from behind, plus snare dot damage. I would say they definitley could do it until 50, as its the most mana efficient way to level, not to mention super easy.
