Please help. AA's for duoing Necro's....?

[neptune222]

Hello. My friend and I are somewhat new to the game (we played for a short time when it was first released) and we both decided we want to duo two Necro's together, but we are lost when it comes to our AA's. I'd love some help and opinions on this.Thanks.

hmm, duo necros huh.  Well there's 2 different ways you could go, and maybe someone else would have a better idea of which would be best but here goes.  1 way you could go would be to have 1 necro be the tank and 1 one be the dps.  The tank necro would go tainted heals (in manipulations line) first, then Sta line, then 5 points in dam reduction at beginning of the gravecalling line, then wisdom line.  The dps would go rotting line first, then Int on summoner side, then Str prob.  Otherwise you could both go with what I said for tank necro and try to bounce aggro back and forth to spread out the damage.  Also just as a suggestion, although I like my necro because they solo really well, but if I had a RL friend that played with me, and we both had the time to always play together I would go with a true tank healer combo like SK/Defiler or Berserker/Fury.  Then when you want to take on dungeons at your level all you do is advertise for some dps and you have yourself a nice group.

The problem to watch for is that the tank pet doesn't always do a good job holding aggro.  You can nuke/dot so much that you can pull aggro off the tank pet.  My thought would be to have one of you spec tank pet (STA/WIS) and the other spec assassin pet (AGI/WIS).  My thinking is that the mage pet with its AOE attacks could peel off mobs from the tank pet by generating too much aggro.  The assassin pet doesn't AOE but focuses its dps on one mob at a time.  The tank can AOE aggro but most of the aggro generation will be on the mob that is currently targeted.  But Hobr0001 is not wrong, either.  Experiment and see what works for your style.
