I was smacking a rr2 Nerco around in CV the other day on my 4l9 Warrior, i was hitting for 100 damage, he was life tapping for a mere 490.
Imagine what any other caster would have been hitting you for twice as fast~
Maybe, but these were Shade lifetaps, not pet lifetaps. They may have fixed the 50 necro's, but i sure don't feel it in the BG's (Molv/CV)
1v1 with a Necro in either BG with a melee toon still ends up with you being dead in 20 seconds or less.
Edit I'd also hit any other caster for a hell of a lot more damage. (2 handed celerity charges)
The only reason, and I do mean only reason, that Necromancers are so resilient to melee damage is because the zombie is a mob. When you Con buff a mob you aren't increasing its hitpoints. You instead raise it's ABS.
If they had reworked Necro's when they should have years ago into the "No you ARE the pet" model people were suggesting, we wouldn't be having this issue.
Having said that, with all the bugs and quirks Necro's have to put up with, they are far from the worst offenders in RvR in terms of whats overpowered or not.

Silence needs to be changed so that it can be purged. Not this profanity dumb change. If your silence isn't up and you are getting MoC'd on, your groupmate's silence will save you. After these changes your groupmate won't be able to give you their free EM5.
Couple ways to do this.
1. Change it back to 100% NS on a different immunity than normal NS. That way it can be purged or cured.
2. Change it so you cannot use damaging spells for the duration. Cure silence/ns ability cures it. Or you can purge it.
Silence is necessary in today's game to negate the flow of caster damage. Casters can debuff 50%. Tanks cannot. Their damage isn't affected by AF and ABS (disregarding bolts).
Honestly if those goes live we are back to everyone running MoC5 and just MoC'ing down everything in the backfield with nothing to negate a MoC besides stun and FZ. And there are already only so many FZ's in a group. Alb and Hib typically only have 1 each. And stuns don't come close to covering the duration of MoC.
tanks wear heavy armour get aom and det ;/

I'm confused on the the whole relic thing,
The way I see it they are reverting to OF relic rules...its almost like they are saying NF was dumb and we are gonna try to fix it without actually reverting back to OF.
This. They are pretty much reverting back to the OF style relic system with slight changes in that they are using the innermost keeps as relic keeps. Most of the old school players will remember when they first added the keep controlled elite Relic guards back in 2002 with patch 1.49. Which led to the tactic of having groups drop all 7 keeps simultaneously and converge on the relic keeps before they added the guard spam in guild chat.
Its pretty much just a throwback to the way relics had to be taken back from 2002 - 2004 till NF.

My resists are capped on my CV Warrior, they might have "silent nerfed" lvl 50 Necro's but i really don't think it affected sub 50 Necro's.
Because 25% resist + 18% passive gained from being a lvl 49 Warrior sure didn't help for crap against him.

This patch is exactly what I've come to expect patches to be, as it's all they have been for a very long time now.

I think the janitor forgot that no one is going to get mof6 on a BD to make those level 28 spells not fail.
