holy posts about this spell batman. lol. anyways, does this spell and DN have the same effect that DN has with horror, as in when you cast 1 they are both blacked out till recast time is met?? if not, it would be great to see a mobs health drop while your soling if you could get this and DN to both crit. but a mana coslty combo there.
yes & no.
This casts identical to the dark nightmare, but they are on different refresh timers, so can cast one and immediately the other.

Ok, most people would like to see this spell duration longer. But the reason they came out with this line of spells is so we necros can use DoT's on mobs that die fast. As far as the 24 second reuse time, lets think about the duration being 25 seconds.....do the math.
a tick = 6 seconds, so its lasts half a minute

IMHO AE DoTs for necros would make us a bit overpowered. =)
lol ae dots would suck if on a raid and people are trying to mez. take rathe council on a pvp server lol. someone goes in and ae dots the 6 mezzables and gates. raid wipes and 2 hours easily down the drain lol
yeah, but aoe snare would be fair =)

Okay guys. I'm going to go ahead and let you in on a little secret because apparently some of you seem to have some problems understanding how dots work. See the trick with dots is.. YOU PUT MORE THAN ONE ON. This is the best dot we get.. if you don't like it don't use it. But let's see.. oh yes, it is roughly 200 more damage than our previous Best, assuming we're not Burning/Crit afflictioning, which makes the cap of it skyrocket. I'd say a combo of this and say BoT to the least - you're guarunteed to be doing 1k a tick so long as they weren't resisted. a Crit on this spell with BA would be quite mean, at least 1500 I'm thinking. To assume you crit though is beyond a mistake, so here's the other thing. If you're tired of the Wizzies nuking for tons and tons, Then you can nuke yourself!! (amazing, yes?) With the new nuke and ID items crit aas yada yada, Will be critting for nearly 4-5k. Okay, now let's do the math. Since wizard's pet is also quadding for 90+ (assuming it's not critting and flurrying) oh wait.. they don't have one. Take some more things into account people.
Also maybe sometimes stop to think about what you have. I group with a mage buddy of mine a lot. He has roughly FT15, I have roughly 0 : ). He out damages me. Plain and simple. It's a close race, but he wins. He'd also give his first born child to have 1/4 of the versatility/soloing power that I have.

Posted: Sep 30 2004 at 1:54 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) sigh only 5 ticks, soo meny short duration dots, it really takes the point out of doting / soloing, hell i mean really, why not be a wizard. soe needs to get a fking clue and make all dots 8+ ticks so they are actualy workable, you cant work with 5 ticks, thats just not long enough. not saying it should do the same damage, by all means, lower the damage. but give dots more ticks. expecialy the 65+ ones, we worked hard to earn these, work with us, please.]
Then you end up with a spell that can never be used efficiently at certain locations where the creatures die fairly quickly. For example; in LDoN this spell would become completely useless if it had a lot more ticks.
With any good group in the EPs the creatures won't survive for more than a minute.
Since most necros group; that's why it's the way it is.

Ok, now it's 639 a tic... I'm saddened by this.
Still impressive damage though... not as much as the 800 it as listed as earlier... However we still have the greatest selection of DoT's of any class. This will fit nicely into any necro's spellbook, well... least those with the support from others to get it.

ya after reading a few of the posts i have to say this spell realy aint as bad as some of u think. ok it only lasts 24 secounds. but it will do 4k in that time. horror and blood of thule are still only doin 2200 or so each. but of course theres nothing stopping you of stacking this spell with bot now is there? not to mention u can include fp and sk as well. then by the time those are on u can recast this. do all that and baring resists ( which we dont see often) and ur laying down 14k dmg in 1 minute.
and then add in pet, wtd, critical affliction, burning affliction, extended afliction and so on

This spell has a 24 sec recast time and it isnt that great as far as dps goes when you look at some of the other classes this is nothing. Come on soe you can do better than that.
it lasts for 5 tics? 5 meesly "i just cast that, how can it be done already!?!?!?!" tics. UBER would be the same spell, that lasts longer than the time it takes you cast your next DoT. this had better get changed, i would like to still solo when i hit lvl 70.
5 ticks isnt bad... bard songs last a mere 3 ticks.
So before anyone counters that bards do other stuff, keep in mind im not asking for encro quality dps, but this 639 per tick is acctually close to what a bard can do per tick. But keep this in mind: as a bard, if i use 5 dots at level 70 with an EP drum, passing 1k/tick would be very nice... and thats with a FIVE twist(meaning in 18 seconds, i have to get off 5 3 second cast songs.)
Point being: 5 ticks isnt anything to complain about... with this kind of damage, it is a nice spell.

Howdy Darhk Ive seen ye in HoH soloing (and ye do a danm skippy job of it) but to complain cause ye can do 4k damage in under 30 secs is nuts. I have never played a necro (well lv 8 doesnt count) so Im not positive at what all your dots final damage is but if you compare this to say the druid dots (the other main kiters in HoH) then even with its short duration its still impressive (Ye have the crit dot aa (at least I think it was you I talked with about it) so thats gonna give ye a leg up but lets face it maybe this spell isnt for soloing necros with the compacted damage Id say its more for the grouping ones. Not all spells are gonna benefit everyone at all times (hell I never cast karana's Renewal when soloing cuase its useless but in groups very handy). Im not tryin to get in argument cause ye are a good player but regardless this spell is useful in many situations (heck this one dot would do about 1/8 of the armors health if not more (Ive estimated the men to have 32k but havent really payed attention to the armors)
Heck darhk with this dot ye do a lil under the wizards best nuke hehe (minus all aa and foci of course and assumin no crits)
As always my english and grammar suck so sorry in advance if anything is unclear Ill try and edit it to make sense and all have fun and enjoy.

5 ticks, same as horror and it's lesser pair, dunno why this would shock you. Your also not considering the zero tick. Faster spells mean more damage faster and let you use dots on mobs that die fast in groups. Don't start complaining about new spells that look very promising when you seem to know very little about necros
you probably think the new lich we get is awesome too. plus, you're a necro stop grouping so much.

No I don't like to solo, I like to raid and do damage.
What isn't to like about the new lich? It's 5 mana more than the GoD lich, but it isn't like most necros will ever have the GoD lich anyway, but maybe they would have a better shot at this spell. High end necros don't have trouble dealing with lost hp from lich, and those that are iksar ( like me :) ) lose little to no hp at all, what is another 10 a tick?

A necro that don't solo?You should have been a gay ranger then with pink dyed armor nsmed Schwen Tulipbutt.
well first off post your ideas about the new lich under that spells forum. plus when you solo, every 1hp counts, cuz sometimes that's all you might have left because sometimes you get hit. when i SOLO, i look for efficiancy. i'm a DE, not an iksar, don't have your regen, but then again i'm not as ugly either /poke (just kidding). and if you're having problems running oom when you're in a group, then you're definately doing something wrong. i admit, this is a lot of dmg done by this spell, a LOT of dmg. i guess when i was thinking of our final and biggest DoT, something with more "oomf", but i'm just a dreamer.
ok Darhk your the one that mentioned the lich spells so dont try gettin on to him for posting about them YOU brought it up. and as for soloers this is an ancient line so its gotten by raiders so its not designed to solo any its designed to do big damage on raid mobs that die fast. (sure longer lasting dots worked in luclin and such but most mobs die fast these days so we need dots to be compressed int time with greater damage)

Critical Afflication AA and a Focus Effect that enhances DoTs would potentially make this spell Uber.

Ubah, we can now dot for 2.9khps per tick on raids... thats a wizard nuke every 6 seconds woot and with BAIV crack can move that up to easily 3.4k per tic and with crits... wow over 4k per tic in instances off of DOTS wow i liek this expansion already lol you can now kill mid fifty mobs in 2 tics
Could you imagine this with aa's and BaV? (ba4 will be replaced most likely) The power this spell has could be one which owns all. ***** the 4k dmg wizzy nukes. lol we can stack this crap with the other wonderful 400 a tick dots and make some very sick dps.

Wizzy's will be nuking for 4275 MINIMUM using a single spell and doing so every 8 seconds by the time necro's get this spell.
Add spell haste, ID items, AA and crits to that and you're talking regular wizzy crits for 7-8k every tick, probably close to 10k at times.
Also, for necro's to crit at 4k+/tick, you will take a good 30 seconds (5 ticks) to get all the required spells casted.
Then of course the casted spells will ALL need to crit to do 4k+/tick. On top of that, you'll probably need to start recasting spells, as necro high damage DoT's last about 30-42 seconds (more with ET).
Killing level 50 mobs in 2 ticks ain't gonna happen with our DoTs, so don't get too hopeful.

as a necro I do 6k a tick with all the dots stacked and I dont even have this spell. AND I can keep that 6k a tick going for quite some time. Oh, ya i forgot that I can avoid the summon aspect of this insane amount of CONSTANT dmg. I dont know a single wizzie that will avoid aggro when chain nuking for the previously stated amounts. Keep in mind, this 6k a tick isnt all of my dots critting at one time either. It's sustained average. But of course, I have nice foci, but not the max foci in the game. So think twice before ASSUMING that the Wizzie is the best DPS class. Necros PWN you long term raid style.

Ok sustained damabe you will beat us out(sometimes) but so do rogues and sometimes zerkers.....This is assuming that all of your dots land.....What if the mob has high magic or fire resists??? then you are SoL....

god wizards suck. you ever see a wizzy take aggro from the tank like a necro does? no. unless you're nuking the too early. so just from that fact alone necros obviously are out dps'ing the retarded wizzy in the group. i swear to god if one more wizzy says "HERE'S MY BOOMSTICK!!!!" one more time i will hack all sony's servers and remove the entire wizard class from EQ once and for all. wizards=lame.

And what wizards do you know that nuke when the mob is at 100%? Besides dead ones. Ya can dot at 100%. Wizards can't nuke till 60% or less, or they are dead. So, no wizards can not out damage a necro. Besides wizards are useless.
