Rapacious Subvention
|
I started a Chanter on a new server. While in PoK, a Necro asked me to Enchant 10 stacks of silver for him. At level 32 at the time, my mana pool was roughly 1200. Mass Enchant Silver costs 120 mana, enchanting 5 a pop. That's 40 castings, so 40*120 mana.. coming to 4800 mana. Four times my mana pool. So, he switched to a Lich form and started casting this on me. With my own C1 (9mana/tick) on me, we managed to enchant them all by the time he was at 8%HP. Good thing, too. He told me its possible for a Necro to die from life loss in that form.. made me pretty nervous. Nice guy, though.. even paid me 3k when he had offered 2k, which was still generous, to begin with. Helps a lot, especially when you're new to a server!

no, because your (or the cleric's) 10m spell isn't nearly as good as whatever the cleric could cast with 60m
for 10 mana I heal 80 per tick for a BUNCH of ticks. You find me ANY caster that can match the ability of a Necro to heal for the cost of the mana and we can talk.
Point being. OOM Clerics are BAD clerics. Or you got a Bad Puller.
This spell is awesome for the "Raid Buffing" when your Shammies and Clerics are casting high mana buffs and have not bothered to get MGB yet. Then you do this as you are just sitting around anyway.
Now then MAGES have the guts to ask for a tiwtch. They shoudl be killed. I out DPS them, I out Heal them, and My pet is just as good. Manage your own mana. I often do not even bother to keep this up except during the pre raid buff periods.

I play both a 70 necro and a 70 mage, so I understand your pride in being a necro. I will assume that this pride is what led to the statement that you out-dps mages and your pet is just as good, because neither are based in fact. The mage air pet will hold aggro during the entire battle when I am soloing, the necro pet will not. The mage pet requires fewer heals per battle. Considering all the damage that is done by both pets, the mage pet has an edge in dps as well. When fighting the same mob I get way faster kills with my mage than I do with my necro. They have about the same AA's and the same level of gear, so I'm gonna say that the mage is more dps based on faster kills. I also have a 66 wizzy who can kill the same mob even quicker than the mage or necro. I have never had the chance or ability to solo mobs with huge amounts of hit points that might eventually drain the mana pool of any of my toons, so I can't argue the point that most necro's make about being the better dps in the long run.

Actually, up to a certain point KREWELL is right, mages will out DPS a necro.
The thing is that necros require longer fights for their DPS to get higher and more efficient. A necro can chain pull and do (just a number) 100 DPS, the mage can do 4 mobs then med a few but does 150 DPS.
It's almost the same comparison between mages and wizards, where the mages take longer then the wizards.
All three do about the same DPS throughout the game

There you go... the difference between a GOOD necro that you WANT in group, & a LAZY one that you DON'T.
TY for the great example, Tinlaan.

this is the first spell of the twitch line. They are one of the necro's main attributes! Your group/raid will want you to use this, so make sure to buy this spell!
I found this spell in East Freeport on Hundle Quatvel at loc -185, -240.

so, does it cost 200 mana to cast and then gives the 60 mana so you lose a total of 260 mana? or does it cost 140 mana to cast and then gives the 60 mana making a your mana pool a total of 200 less?

It costs you 200 mana and gives a target player 60 mana.

also sold by Hundle Quatvel in the East Freeport necro guild and Vidurlyn Aeminee in the Qeynos Aqueducts.
Takes 200 mana from you and gives your target 50 mana. Good if cleric is oom in a fight.
wouldnt it be just as easy for the necro to cast a 10m heal spell?

no, because your (or the cleric's) 10m spell isn't nearly as good as whatever the cleric could cast with 60m

Just the reason I made a necro to be a walkin mana bank for the cleric...not!

this is also a good spell when in a duo with another necro. one of your plays pet healer and mezzer while the other dots. the dotter will run out of mana first so the healer slaps your with some mana.
this is also great in a group/red whith bad pulls, slapping the wizard another nuke or 2 with your extra mana might help. what about a druid with no mana for an evac when a new spawn on a med break?
ever seen a necro power level a mage? would you not use this?
anyhow, i have found it very useful other than giving cleric mana but if you want to be a mana bank for cleric go for it.
some people will take advantage of this so be careful it could end up killing you.... good luck

for the cleric, for the druid and any other class that needs mana, a necro is a battery
