I've only been answering questions (and accusations), and I see no point in keeping the thread alive. That said, I didn't make the topic (or am even the only hox who replied) so obviously I'm not the...

Sure sure, I guess I need to play for another 3 years in another 4 raiding guilds before I see some of these amazing yet elusive 'NF' necros (as opposed to the ones I usually see who do subpar DPS). ...

I take it by "NF" you mean "DtS", since I don't know any necro who doesn't mix the trees. I don't have more than a few days /played on my necro, but on the other hand I have played for 3 years in...

Yes, every time.



Most of the buffs other mages have are non-essential; you really don't need that personal tiny retributive dmg buff.

Besides, a necro can deal more damage than a hox...

I beg to differ - Subtle Illusion's aggro reduction doesn't work on raid bosses from before RotGS, and if you mean the 20 damage deflection, it's at the end of a cast and usually too little too late....

I don't see how 'weak tank' can be construed as anything but an insult, and that's how I took it.

Anyhow I agree there's no point in speculating. If there are no other hoxes with aggro problems...

I didn't wanna bring guilds/individuals into this, and rather pretend that AoC has a large and vibrant raiding scene... but of course, there are only a handful of guilds (and a handful of players who...

Been literally years since I played my demo, and I can't for the life of me remember whether they apply wreck or ruin. I take it by your comment it's the wreck and not the ruin as suggested by Shax's...

Unfortunately, barely any demos bother applying ruin (just like most hoxes don't), and toses don't have it as their priority, meaning it takes them quite a few seconds to actually put it on the...

I'm not talking about bad tanks, I'm talking about dps in the best possible gear, max potions, and a bit of luck with shields and crits, doing enough dps to yank a boss off any tank short of a guard...

That's not the case for us, but then every guild has a different situation. Perhaps your poms blow Cleansing early, while we don't always even have more than 1 pom and 1 necro.

If a sin is in a fight where aggro is a big problem/tank situation isn't ideal, he can go for a tribuild with general hate decrease feats, and still do pretty decent if not reach his true...

Poms frequently grab aggro during some trials as well, but they can usually handle it with a quick bubble and, eventually soul.

Your guild's hoxes must not play their class to its potential then.

Spending 5 seconds on a self-res being useless is not really viable when you're in a time trial and master requires you to kill the boss in 50 seconds.
