    Coming back to game after many many many years. Last time I played a necro, cap was 60, yes that long ago. Anyway, planning on starting on FV, looking for starter advice. Does race matter anymore? How about religion/god ? Is root/rotting still a thing ? Kitting ? Totally lost.

    Pick whatever you want it and you can still root rot. Necros are better than ever. If you're joining FV just remember that there is no common language so everyone speaks Elvish.

    There is still some useful public info for lower levels if you go searching over at necrotalk.com. If you do, check the stickied threads in the Gear Up section. The Hunting Grounds sections will still give some reasonable advice on where to go pre-110.

    Never played on FV before. Is this a feature of the server that no one can speak Common, or did all the players decide to speak Elvish in honor of Firiona Vie herself?

    RP ruleset, no common language and /ooc (out of character).

    Race doesn't matter anymore but iksar are the master race. Deities don't matter anymore really outside of the original faction issues that some created within some cities aside from the racial faction, which means it's a non issue. Root rotting, kiting, fear kiting, charming, pet tanking are all options necros have for killing mobs. You can choose your favorite or mix it up. At higher levels it's not uncommon for people to have numerous procs on gear/augments that can break roots so it can make root rotting a bit different for them. In such cases they usually kite until they have the necessary dots on the mob to kill it then they root the mob and pull the next so it's more of a hybrid of kiting/root rotting.

    If you're starting again from scratch, grab a Tank Merc and use that to kill everything until around level 65 (no healer needed). Then start thinking about root rotting or reverse kiting or whatever strategy you'd like.

    is narosa your toon name in FV ? if you want a very fast mount ( velocity 75 ) i can give you one for free, , and for the language { elvish that you need to max to 100 } = minor annoyance with all the benefit FV can have.

    if that account is an old one , your loyalty tokens might be maxed at 5760 , and if maxed you should spend some, , you can't go wrong with one gold ticket from the loyalty merchant in POK if you are not sure what to grab.
