Just did betrayal - could use a few pointers from you 1337 necros :)

Hi, I was in a position where I had a 38 conj on PvE and PvP - seemed a little silly so I did betrayal (which is now the worst quest in game imho).  Been playing my conj on and off since day one (mostly with xp off) so I'm very used to that style of play.  Just wondered if you could give me some pointers with necros?  Either it's my imagination or this class has less spells?  I'm lvl 39 now and I may have missed one or two as they loaded, but when I rez my conj I have 6 spell buffs for me and the pet - the necro only seems to have about 3.  Also, I seem to have less attack spells.  Is the roll of the necro more about keeping the pet alive with heals then leaching that hp back from mobs (and DoTs of course). I guess a basic strategy you guys use would help <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  And while this toon seems to be a lot of fun to play I don't half miss my master II Earthquake <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

Your buffs = Int/sta buffPower and resists buffMagi shieldingPet buffs = Offensive/defensive stanceSeal lineRending lineYour best bet is to head over to <a href="http://www.eqsummoners.com/" target=_blank>EQ2 summoners</a> and check out the spell list. we have plenty of attacks.

Hmm, I think I'll fire up a screen shot when I get home, maybe you can spot what I'm missing.  From memory there are 4 DoTs (incdluing Swarm of Bats which didn't reset to App I <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ) 2 pet heals, 2 life taps and a group encounter AE. <div></div>

Off the top of my head we have 3 dots 1 lifetap 1 ae lifetap 2 swarms for most of our necro life (not including adv pack spells and ancient teachings) we also have 1 debuff, 1 root, 1 fear, 1 stun, 1 slow.
