Why do necro's get 25% pierce? Why is it still going on today? I really thought it would have been fixed by now. Every other char in the game is capped at 10%.

Duh, as every pro at this game will tell you, or necro will tell you... It's because Necros are underpowered and need as much help as they can get!

But yeah, seriously, getting hit for 600-1000 damage by a lifetap makes me very sad, I generally just turn the other way when I see a necro and I'm not on my lock/mentalist.

necros aren't that bad when you know how to counter them~

I generally just run away, unless you know they are completely sheared.

Another PITA is that they are not affected by speedwarp.

ML10 shear them.

PB PB PB PB PB

Thank you for the Rps Mr. Necro.


Can be done without the shear if you don't feel like wasting the timer.


The fun part is deciding on how to kill the caster after the pet drops.

But yea the 25% spell pierce hurts if they add on you mid fight.


Getting nuked for 800+ damage never is fun.

What's weird is that when animists had 25% spell pierce, Mythic solved the issue in 2 or 3 patches after that was known. But they don't seem to care about necros. It wouldn't shock me if both had 25% or both were brought back to the 10% cap, but having different rules in what is some sort of exploit is confusing: either it's admissible or it's not.

Necros hit hard...

Animist got the benefit of 10% Cast speed as well, so they hit just as hard or harder than Necros and alot faster.

Taking away the extra 15 pierce would mean giving the Necro cast speed... which any Necro who knows his class would be glad to do.

Id love to FP and land 5 lifetaps for 650 instead of landing 3 for 850. Necros already run close to 10 cast speed in templates while sacrificing alot to get the extra pierce, this change would just give them more toys.

Be careful what you wish for.
