Age of Conan

Well there may in fact be another thread about this, but here i go again.  Starters i can honestly say i don't enjoy any of the other classes like i do the necromancer. Having said that, its quite clear that the developers focus was not on its casting classes (pure casting to be exact) but on its melee classes.  The necromancer eats mana at a disgusting rate that even the most hardly of character managing players will find a little disheartening.  I do like the pet/player setup...i like that fact that you are in fact the "tank" for lack of a better word, and with Runed Flesh you are capable of doing this if, that is, the buff showed when it was gone and if the dmg absorptions scaled better with lvls.  I find the corruptor pet (melee pet at lvl 20) is useless and subpar to the mutilators you start with.  I am less pet dependent and more of the feat build that uses them for sacrificing for damage increases and the enemy fear.  That being said i find that without my pets i have a bit harder of a time leveling/killing things. 

In PVP ill admitt i tend to get wank smacked by just about everyone unless they are asleep at keyboard!  Especially the ranger i believe one half my level killed me (say what you want about skill but that is rediculous).  I have noticed even endgame pvp that again the casters get massacred by all the other classes.  I know there are plans for improvement of the pure casters (and many of u may be saying why play AoC to be a caster class with the phenomenal melee system?). Truth is i cant stand the melee classes, which while not the first time i have felt this way, it is odd in a game so melee oriented. 

I guess all in all this is just another thread pointing out Funcom's lack of inital care for 2 classes they obviously didnt count on being so desirable to players.  I like the thrill of being the damage taker for my pets, takes some of the boredom out of managing a tank pet blah blah blah, and i dont spend half my time resummoning or healing a weak ass pet!  So ya sorry for wall of text, but just had to get it out. Hoping this class gets some more love, i enjoy the game immensly, and the class is so fun and unique especially amongst the plethora of melee characters in AoC.  However, we need some love!!  Anyone else wanna toss their thoughts in on the Necro or even Demon caster classes. And maybe post planned changes so others on MMORPG can see them w/o diggin AoC forums.

yea i cant wait... im a lvl 55 necro

I plan on rolling a necro tonight or tomorrow once I get my copy updated. I really hate playing a melee in this game, it's worse than playing a wow rogue or everquest bard.

Maybe this is true in pvp but its the exact oppisite in pve
