Shock of Poison
So I'm currently loving my level 27 necro.
Since level 24, though, I've felt like an OP wizard. Shock of Poison has, at the low end, a 1.4 DPM ratio. Basically, only Heat Blood and Darkness beat it at my level (disease dot too, nominally, but that takes forever). BUT, using Shock means I need fewer fears. I know this will change when I hit 29 and start getting truly efficient DoTs, but am I missing something? Is there any reason not to just nuke the shit outta shit at my level? It seems like: sic pet, darkness, fear, shock shock, call back pet kills things faster and for less mana than stacking dots. Resists to shock are the only real negative I've seen. | ||

Dots/Snare/Fear/Pet is fine Your pet is essentially another dot I just don't send in pet until after second fear and I get full XP every time | |||

Pick your spots It honestly doesn't really matter at the lower levels. I did Barbarian Fishing Village and then the Millers at Surefall entrance. There is so much real estate to kite at those spots you'll literally never get an add unless you're absolutely careless. | |||

You're not imagining things. It's your best damage spell from 24-28.

I don't think you are missing much. You are in one of those "dead" level ranges for necros and haven't got a decent DoT upgrade in 12+ levels.
If you are an Iksar it can be especially odd, since you probably aren't being bothered too much by allure. if you weren't iksar you'd prolly be better off using taps instead of the blast. The taps are unresistible hence more mana efficient than they look. Then on top of that you will be able to convert about 80% of life you drain back into mana... assuming you need the health this functionally means your life tap spells only cost 20% of the mana listed. | ||

My first character was a necro back in 99, I loved him, until 24, then I was like WHOA MOMMA THIS IS WHAT I LOVE so then I rerolled a wizard.
SoP was so fun, but so unificent, my friend that I played with cried and cried about me using it too much until I said well I'm just gonna reroll. | ||

I think your point is that SoP is at least as efficient as the typical fear-rotting and I think you're right. It also has the benefit of being much quicker on kills.
