I'm seeing more and more Necros these days. Today I saw one trailing what looked like four zombies and some Beholder analog. I have no idea how scary they are to fight, but I sure as heck gave them a wide berth. My PoM knockback has too long a refresh timer for that noise smiley

You should have killed him, he's an idiot.  The "beholder" analog is a necrotic bomb and is totally worthless, if he had one out he sucks.

Just make sure to keep your HoTs up and you'll be fine.

that's exactly it, necros look cool and im sure lots of people WANT to play them but they are fucking awful to play midlevel and higher

Eh, Necro really isn't nearly as bad as you make them out to be.  I have no problems killing with mine.  But like all games ever, there are certain parts of the class that are useful and other parts that are useless, and the necrotic bomb is useless.  So I have no doubt that guy would be easy to own. ;)

Necros are really great in PvE groups which have a tank to keep aggro off them, they do nice DPS.

Necros turn into face raping machines past 65, they can AoE moe effectively than any other class.  Our level 80 necro guild leader made it from 75-80 in one day, soloing.  Necros can pull chain kills that I wouldn't even dream about on my PoM.

They just don't have that power from level 1 on like PoMs do, but if you're quitting because the necro is gimped, know that you're quitting because the necro is gimped for 15 levels, and then becomes the destroyer of worlds.

Are those pets all basically DoTs in avatar form? Or are each independently controllable? A buddy of mine is playing one for the reason cited (they look cool and are hella fun in these early levels), so we'll probably make a fairly interesting duo. I love the PoM. It's exactly the sort of survivability ok-DPS I like. Still not as relatively face-melting as my WoW Mage, but the knockback and all of the AOEs make up for it.

My friend has a 80 necro, and he's a beast. YMMV.

Yes.  And no, you can't individually control them.  If they are Blood Archanists (there will be only two in that case) they also are a hot for the necro if they are at full health (so maybe hit them with a little small ae if you get the chance, though I doubt the hot is really good enough to worry about).

If they are melee (like the corruptors that I think you saw) you can be a l33t sploiter and run into water and they won't follow you. :)

A necro is a demon at level 80 in pve and pvp.  Oh dear lord are they scary.  My guild focus fires them down first in any mass engagement.
