Switching gear in and out for clickies is commonplace if you want to get even close to the most out of your character.

Necro and monk are both strong with shaman, with edge to the monk imo, especially if the necro doesn't like charming whenever it is remotely possible. No fucking idea what lots or smallish mins are.

What kind of strength does monk/shm have that a charming necro/shm doesn't?

Not needing charm? Haha.

I bet the necro in that duo would really have to be a great player to make the most of the duo too. Monk could probably just be "good" and it'd be good enough.

Monks in Velious become arguably the best tanks in the game, they do absurd DPS as well. That gives a lot more room for error than a Necro who can have some unlucky breaks on resists.

I'd think the gap would be closed a bit if only for that there's supposed to be less mobs to charm in velious.

It might be possible to solo Lodi as a necro, with a soulfire, FD, dots, root and pet heals. Give your pet a couple of slow proccing weapons.

I tried him out with a /beta buff necro but died at 75% but wasn't timing his summons, no slow proc weapons and no soulfire. Tash stick might have helped too.

The mixture of mobs that summon + being immune to fear/snare makes solo'ing in Velious not very fun for Necros. It's a huge bummer.
