Necros - root/rot vs fear kite
Is there a reason fear kite is more favorable than root rotting? Barring the obvious use of pet in fear kites. I know regular kiting reduces dot damage , but does that apply to root rotting as we'll perhaps ?
Thanks in advance. | ||

Fear is popular because it is another layer of control, feared mob cannot cast, cannot hit you. You can pull mob with dot send in pet, load up more dots, fear when mob turns on you, sit med while pet kills, reapply dots/fear, sit med while pet kills. By this time mob should be low life and running on his own natural fear. You go entire fight with mob trying to hit you 20% of the time instead of entire fight with mob trying to hit you 80% of the time (mobs run when under 20% life for most part).[You must be logged in to view images.

I think another big perk to fear kiting over root rotting is that you kill the mob a lot faster, which means it will spawn again faster, which means more kills over time.

Main benefit is pet.
Fear Kiting = Pet is a mana free DoT entire fight, who can pull aggro with taunt and give you time to cast a 2nd fear on resist or whatever you need to. Root Rotting = Pet cannot be used unless you intend on healing him. For a necro though, from 20-60, charming undead is the superior means of leveling especially once you get a Circlet of Shadows.

You will change tactics depending on the zone you are in.
Root rot or fear killing .. But .. note this.. At low levels fear killing is more efficient. At higher levels, root rot is mostly better, (dungeon root rot ftw). | ||

Root rotting indoors so they don't run and grab more crap.
Fear kiting outdoors so you get pet damage. Charming everywhere that you have undead because charming is damn good. | ||

Agree.. when you find a spot to charm.. dooo eeett.. charm is 1000% better on your mana pool. (be it more exciting.. and much much faster xp). And once you are a charm pro.. you can sneer at the poor enchs that always have a charm break, ( around 20% more than a necro.. {my guestimated opinion only}). (it is scary running around with a level 49 hasted quadd hitting Skelli in Howling Stones... ((necro Screaming terror does take a bit of time to cast)).. ((always keep the necro rune up)). | |||
