Velious: Mage or Necro?

[RIP The Jacka]

Torn on what to play in velious, epic mage or necro?

Whats better for raiding?

Any Unique items? Holgresh beads come to mind.

Definitely necro.

Why? Because i prefer necros.

But seriously:

For raids i suppose mages are going to be modrod bots, necros are going to be twitch bots.

Necros are more versatile in their options, imo. Can duo/trio more effectively, has CC, more tools to work with.

Mages are pretty good too, don't get me wrong. They're very effective in groups, when they're not constantly AFK and actually send their pets on the right mob.

So do whatever you want, but i'd go with necro.

Active mages are vital to raiding and probably the hardest thing to find in Velious. If you play enough and know how to summon modrods, you will be one of the best players on the server.

mages do better dps and CoH pretty much trumps anything necro brings to the table

CoH doesn't trump FD + Raid Rez saves.

Does CoH play a role in pulls in velious? I don't think so

[Tankdan]

Necro twitches are superior to mod rod spamming. In tight CH rotations, its dangerous to be clicking mod rods with split seconds to spare, it can mess up your target+pretarget if you misclick. Whereas a necro can just go cleric to cleric twitching away. Almost every dragon/boss on beta is killable without mod rods, just necros suffice.

Very much so. Not to mention having mage bots at X Y Z location will make clearing trash unnecessary.
