Necro in RVR?

Hey guys.

Many years ago on Live EU servers I had the best fun ever playing Necro in RVR with my Minstrel buddy.

-But only because the Necro was updated heavily with the pet.

Things I kind of remember that were updated:
Root/stun immunity on Necro pet.
Very high spell resistance/absorption.
Faster run speed (Pet not falling behind with Minstrel speed + sprint).
Not being spell interrupted when someone tried to cc you.
High melee absorbtion.
Faster cast speed on pets (might not have been changed). Or at least all pets having the same specs all round. So you
could just use the first zombie pet instead of the higher lvl ones.
+ probably other stuff I forgot.

Are there plans to add ANY of the above in Eden ? Or will Necros be as "useless" as ever in RVR?

Otherwise everything regarding this server looks absolutely awesome! Can't wait to return after years break (did play Phoenix some).

Thanks!

This is in.

This is in.
Not being spell interrupted when someone tried to cc you.
On things your pet is immune to, yeah.
High melee absorbtion.
When you're max buffed, yeah.
Faster cast speed on pets (might not have been changed). Or at least all pets having the same specs all round. So you
could just use the first zombie pet instead of the higher lvl ones.
I think this might be in.
Amnesia is the best button in the game.

Re: Necro in RVR?

The big question on my mind when considering a Necro would be, will PW AoE DoT ticks interrupt casters? :eyes:
Also, seeing as the meta will probably favour heavily towards melee then a sight necro melee assist train will be no joke.

Minstrel
Theurg
Cleric
Friar
Sight Necro
Sorc
Paladin
Arms/Merc

Will be spicy.

I'm toying with the idea of pain necro spec for RvR. That unbreakable snare and dots should make them really strong in extend groups and stopping tank trains. Probably really annoying.

It's not very long, maybe 2-3s? 5 tops? Regardless, it's very hard to kill and deal with.
