Necromancer Questions:

[LordVictor]

At low levels, I usually allow my pet to kill stuff and take all XP if I"m meditating and sit down, otherwise I just let my pet deal a bit of damage and click in "back" but he still steal my xp some times

However, your pet OutDPSing you will not be a concern once you grind a bit more levels.

For e,g having a pet that deals 12 damage while the caster's poison bolt deals 5 damage per tik at lv 4 makes pretty hard to outDPS you pet. When you are lv 59, Emissary of Thule deals 60 damage and is lv 47 while any DoT, including snares like Devouring Darkness deals 100+ damage per tik, that is not a big concern. Since I'm human necro, I started in Qeynos and did the Gnoll Fang quest. So I could let my pet take the XP, I don't care. Most of my XP would be by questing.

I just wish that I could worship Inny or be Agnostic, but East Commonlands is a atrocious place to level up IMO.

At moment, I'm lv 26 and I only suffer with my pet outDPSing me when I'm using charmed undeads. But believe that at lv 29 when I get better DoTS, I would be able to outDPS even charmed pets in no problem.

In a few more level you get better DoTs and Snare, so no need to rely on pet to do the damage and steal your exp. For now, just get through those early levels however you can. If you can kill 2x the mobs with the pet doing most of the damage it’s worth it.

Yep. At lv 12, necros get Engulfing Darkness, Heat blood and Leech. SAdly the DoTS only improve significantly at lv 29. Shock of Poison(24) is quite good if I need to quickly finish a mob
