Alright, I was just thinking of a third character because I like boxing.  Maybe I'll try only two-boxing necro and druid then. Must have ports.

Make the third a shaman for even more DoTs.

Kodaji being a whiny arse aside, I was pretty sad to see how badly enchanters and necros just do not mesh and in fact enchanters actively inhibit necromancers. Back in days gone by, you just could not have enchanter clarity spells with Lich-line spells, but it was pretty awkward on Friday. Twincast Aura + Mana Reiterate Aura makes nukers very happy (I was grouped with a mage before we hooked up in EB that adored me for that, not to mention Voice & Manastorm), but I am really disappointed in the whole necro situation as enchanters should be the type of class that makes everyone better. Then again, necros with EM & 2.0 are so utterly overpowered right now, maybe it is for the best.

Yeah, ENCs do not synergize with necros very well at all, except for Twincast aura and Tash maybe. I think most of our necros have Mara Reiteration aura and the druid cold aura blocked, so the fire one can be used in the Evantil raid on the minis that are immune to everything except fire and have no AEs to heal with RB. Of course, bards are the best necro synergy class> Just like they are for every other class.

Yeah I have all that blocked as well, only druid fire one too since no Evantil. I wish you could override the pets + mez issue if you wanted. Honestly that was the worst of it having my pet just gently caress off constantly. Ended up 4 drat chits short of EM 14 so gonna be a week until my pet's a real beast  Necro OPness doesn't really come from EM or 2.0 either one though, they're just good as hell. Pet DPS ain't that great even with EM 13, though it does enable them to tank fairly well. 2.0 isn't that overpowered either, it's just more DPS than any other possible replacement would be. 8% crit's great but certainly not OP. It's pretty much CoA Robe/Spire/GoDR and infinite mana that shove necros into awesomeness territory. SK/bard/necro has moved itself into sheer incredibleness for 3boxes. drat I love bards so much

I did pickup raids all the time last year with MS and got fully raid geared, and I wanna do it again. The person that organized it in MS last year doesn't seem to play anymore, which is a shame because he was a good guy.

I am going to probably trot out my characters again to do some leveling. I have two boxes I made for Test, a Mage and a Shaman. What would be the best 2 to go with them to compliment the best, leaving room for 2 mercs? All characters are roughly the same level 70ish - Account 1 - Bard/Druid/Necro Account 2 - Cleric/Shadowknight I'm thinking Bard and Cleric for now, so I can use 2 tank mercs (or 1 tank/1 dps?)

Necro and SK. The bard/druid overlaps with the shaman and the necro will give you more dps than the bard would add. A cleric brings nothing to your box that the merc wouldn't do just as well.

My War/Clr/Enc combo hit 80 this weekend, is there still anyone around that makes the Abstruse armor? Also, I need to make the transition from leveling post 80. I'm starting to get into unfamiliar ground. I hear alot of people suggesting AG in guildchat, is that where I should look? Also, before I start the 80+ grind, I've asked in the past about which would be better, Enchanter or Druid (I have an 80 druid as well) Just want to double verify before I start comitting more time that it would be better as the War/Clr/Enc than War/Clr/Druid.

The druid can port, buff with damage shield, temporary HP increase and mana regen, heal, snare, root (not sure how good though), run speed buff, and more. You will be lacking haste, but haste pots are almost as good.

Yeah I've found i'm kind of screwed either way. I miss out on Clarity and Haste for my mercs without the enchanter, and I miss out of Damage Shields and Regen and Run speed without the druid. I like the Evac and Ports with the Druid. I'm a big proponent of the OH poo poo button. Probably from my days on Rallos, I always wanted an escape plan.

The more I play em, the more I'm convinced SK/Necro/Bard is the best poo poo ever. I hadn't really been watching the necro much until the talk about ench + necro and bard + necro up above, but drat bards are awesome. I wouldn't have been too upset if bards were like chanters and didn't add poo poo to the necro, but that is not the case at all. Bard turns mine into a powerhouse from hell

Bards are legit boosts for everyone. But bonuses for dots are multiplicative instead of the crappy additive way they stack for nukes. So dots basically get the best possible outcome from bonuses to add in to the *3.6 crit multiplier and *2 twincast mod, making any flat damage or additional mod function even better. It's how dots with a base damage of 2500 can crit tick for 80k. (Probably wrong on exactly dot crit mod and mine is slightly different)

Does anyone know offhand if there are any time restrictions to /testcopy? Once a day/week etc? It's about time for my usual annual go round and I thought I'd try a necro for the first time ever. They've made a couple of my old illusion items heirloom status so I thought I'd copy a char across to play with those and my meagre 10k or so, I do note I have a ton of velocity tokens though and can afford 6 of the platinum bags to help get going \o/ Have they really not updated the hot zones since 2011?

Anybody on Luclin happen to have any Tea of the Shard that they can spare for me to copy ad infinitum? I have no problem finding Planar Donuts, but Tea of the Shard is the best tank beverage I have seen and I have not seen a drop of it in a week on Live or Test. I have some cash on Luclin if you would like compensation.

I was trying to get the stuff together to make this on test and it seems to me that the reason these aren't as widely seen is due to the fact that the tea leaves are stupidly uncommon. They are forageable and droppable in zones like Natimbi. I spent the other day and killed something like 200-300 mobs that are supposed to drop em and got three tea leaves.

Here are the patch notes. Some really interesting stuff, particularly with the UI. The pet stuff only affects lvl 96-100 pets though. quote:April 11, 2013 I'll begin working on updating ZlizUI to match the changes.

The forage table in Natimbi is also loving huge, around 50 items. So you won't even get many if you leave a forage bot there overnight.
