Now that Darkpaw has been formed do you think there is any chance they will finally rework Necro DoTs like the rest of the classes?
I remember when my dots got revamped and were super awesome…….. and then they SMASHED them with the nerf hammer. Be careful what you ask for.
If you think the reworkings are a nerf you need to relook at those classes. All of those classes now do more dps because they dont have to cast nearly as many DoTs and takes less to ramp up damage. Necros need this because they are running into max debuff issues and fixing the necro DoTs will help with this issue overall.
You think this, but honestly as a druid I'm always oom. I'm actually not happy with the dot revamp because the mana increase that went along with it. Tried playing a druid on a tlp server. It's just not the same, the mana cost are too high.
Calling for nerfs against classes is against forum rules. Boom. You have gotten better at Forumquesting (124)
I support the necro DOT change and hope this comes sooner rather than later. My TLP level 70 shaman uses the level 56 DOT for damage. Anything higher will drive me OOM too fast. The one DOT uses only one spell slot, which is super. It's really nice to be able to add all the DPS DOT with one spell as well. Anyone who thinks the new DOTs use too much mana... simply use a lower level DOT. Find your sweet spot. With the Gift of Mana AA, the higher level DOTs are back on the table. The higher level DOTs become a LOT of damage for 1 mana. This is a BIG damage potential boost.
"Add all the DPS DOT with one spell" -- What are you talking about? There are more dots than just Bane of Nife… There is no 1 shaman spell that applies ALL their DoTs, at any level.
Me too...…. another 5000 necro dot threads should do it. But to be fair at least it's been more than a week since the last one.
Scorched earth. Delete the class. Then there will be no more need to change necro dots, because you can't change something that doesn't exist. Where's my Nobel Prize?
I add all the damage DOTs (my shaman can afford to cast) with one spell. If I need more damage, I can simply cast a higher level version. This is a very nice thing that the DOT change gave to shamans (and others). Necros deserve this too. EDIT: Necros will have more time and mana for damage than my shaman, so necros will likely use 2 or 3 DOTs on a group mob. Don't take it literally as "1 DOT cast" for necros, but instead the concept of "far less DOTs cast" to apply their damage.
There is no longer a need for necro dot revamps outside of some wanting 20,000,000 dot tics like druids. One or two more ranks of Enhanced Decay from Dzarn. Aristo cutting the base duration of the entire Wounds dot line to 42 seconds. Tweak a fewer lower dots for TLP if really needed.
