How does a Necro handle adds

[Jupitaur]

Adds giving my level 20 necro some trouble in 2 cases

1) fear kiting in outdoor zones, do you fear and dot up the add. Or feign death

2) cant fear in dungeon like upper Guk and not sure how to handle the adds? Am i supposed to tank them, feign death to pet, do i heal pet?

If your outdoor you can take advantage of the new leash mechanic. Root add and run your other mob away from it. The rooted mob will drop agro once your far enough.


If your in an indoor dungeon FD helps slot with adds. If 2 mobs are next to each other root one, let the other run to you, root it and did. The one rooted on its spawn point should insta drop agro.

Target the mob you wanna kill..

Snare it....

FD when mobs chase to you a bit

Wait for non snared mobs to reset

Stand and kill snared mob

Yeah, not having root or mez yet makes it difficult. I'll try the life siphon DD to burn one

And the snared mob will not go for pet after FD?

Not unless you tell the pet to attack it.

You get mez and normal (non-undead) root eventually. That's the primary way. Otherwise you can heal pet with shadow compact while tapping/dotting the first mob down as quickly as possible, and then alternating hits with your pet on the second. If it's more than 2 mobs I wouldn't bother unless they've very low blue.

That works but at his level without great gear it will kill his mana pool. Just snare split.

Yah snare splitting is effective. He said adds tho, so I was giving general advice on fighting multiple mobs.
