In Reply to: Who will agree with me on that Necromancers are badass? You dont have to read the text it is me ranting ;) posted by Abaddon on October 14, 1999 at 10:56:23:
I don't think Necromancers have much more or less than anyone else. Maybe in the 40's (I've not gotten there yet) Evaluate what they have. Ok, sleep is wicked, (if it works) being slept and heavily maledicated is deadly... But there are ways around it. Necromancers can't sleep everyone, and they are pretty much meat to any basher/tripper that they aren't prepared against. Necro's have no real way to deal decent damage, save their Zombies. (again, they must have high level friends to kill mobs decent enough to be Zombies) You catch a Necro without zombies, they are as weak as a newborn calf. Or! Elves and Dark-Elves resist Necro's sleep spells quite often! Thing is, don't let the Necro sleep you, and you are ok. Necros cant hide from you like thieves and assassins, so if you are prepared... You should be able to get away. ** Necros however are really strong in groups ** :) Aristelle
