Yah i played a necro before.. > 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
gave up after the Empire made me Anathema..
it all depends on sleeping the guy
if it fails you are in big trouble, better hope the guy suck at bashing or those sort..
but then at high ranks.. you can be bashed..
so sleep, if i fails o all to rescue and blind the guy etc..
not that bad.. all mages suck till rank 30
P.s Aristelle, when you get vampiric touch, you ll do insane damage.. and it gives you life too.
don t worry.. you might actually get to higher rank before i die of con death
*mutter* died sooooooooo much it s not funny.
maybe i should just flee.. all the time..
oh well, i agree with most of these comments.
Necros are fun, but everyone hates them, no one wants to group with you from rank 11-27 or so..
heck i ranked my necro to 20 killing guards.. etc.. took me forever but i mastered parry and all my spells.
> I don't think Necromancers have much more or less than anyone else. Maybe in the 40's (I've not gotten there yet)
