When does necro soloing become "worth it"?

I don’t understand lol.

To op: my necro is lvl 20 now... and I’d say soloing became a lot easier with the new light and pet

The Global Cooldown Refresh clicky is an item that has an instant cast "click". When you do this the spell gems in the spell bar refresh which saves you valuable seconds when you, for example, cast a spell on a rooted mob, root breaks, and you click the GCD clicky to make the spell gems refresh faster. If you don't use the click all your spell gems go dark for a little bit after casting.

Wizards get the Staff of Temperate Flux which is an excellent tagging/pulling item as well as GCD clicky. The Kunark item Shrunken Goblin Skull earring is what most people used on Blue but its not in game yet. People want spyglasses because it casts a clicky instant spell that refreshes the spell gems and everyone can use it. The issue with the spyglass is that it zooms in and makes your vision wonky but you adjust quickly.

When you use the GCD clicky there is an exploit with whatever is in spell gem 1 and you can spam it. People will often put a root spell here but really you can put whatever spell you think would be best in it. If you have a long recast time on a spell that isn't in slot 1 it will still be greyed out while the other spell slots will light up after using the clicky. Its a bug/exploit and you need to take a little bit to personally understand it.

Its "confusing" but its really not if you don't think too hard about it. You cast a spell, click the clicky immediately, and you can immediately cast another spell instead of waiting for the spell gems to refresh. It is important for all caster classes to use a click but its not "necessary." You do save very valuable time and get casts off much quicker which will save you damage and will keep mobs at a farther distance if you are rooting.

You definitely gain a significant advantage properly using a GCD clicky.
