<DIV> <P>The one thing I've seen consistently one the forums and in my own experience is pet healing is too low. This is something they need to fix - I'm not sure what act of God it will take to get them to do it though. I really doubt they even read these forums. </P> <P>Pets take too long to heal - even with adept3 exchange life and adept3 mend bones (whatever the t5 spell is). They get hurt in a solo fight - even the tank - and it takes too long to heal them. </P> <P>Surviveability? I can't tank a lvl50^^. I don't know if this is considered something I shouldn't be able to tank, but it doesn't say heroic. I can't tank a 46^^^ but I never could - this is a blue heroic so I imagine I'm not supposed to anyway. Need to run more tests but, although better, the heals suck.</P> <P>Pet dps is off, image that. With fights lasting very short amounts of time, caster pets don't get going well. The best I've seen was 160 or so. The average is no better than the assassin's. Assassins do better than expected with 110 but they get hurt alot tanking and the lack of healing affects their play since you have to wait for their health to regen. Tank pets get hurt more than they should, I again blame lack of healing.</P> <P>The ghastly line has issues. It seems when I cast stench of the grave it takes too long to start and doesn't proc often enough. Before, the spell would proc immediantly on casting, now it waits for the animation which takes too long. I won't mention the fact that the ghastly zombie annimates and the pet zombie doesn't.</P> <P>I will say kudos on lich. That is by far the best spell we've got. The built in damage/drain makes playing necro bareable. I would recommend something similar for the lower levels.</P> <P>All in all, better, but needs tweaking. Still think you should bring back corpse summoning.</P> <P>Armus, lvl50 necro on Innothule</P></DIV>
