I am pretty new to the game. But think I am doing well. I play a necro(Boy do I miss undead pets!!!)! This is the first mmo I have seen where I dont have a zombie, skeleton, ghoul abiding to my deepest desires. But thats ok. I seem to do ok without them.
I have structured my build around DOTs. I run 2 black Dots as primary. A red Dot for fast burn. Then a black rechargable DD as support. I also use a slow gem and a party haste gem. With both out mobs run -12% slower than me

I built my physical and magic def. While I know I could go the DD route I prefer my current as it is very efficient. Once a mob falls to 50% its gone within secs due to stacking of dots. On a tick I can equal ,if not do more damage per vs a straight DD necro.
At least that is what my spec is showing me currently. I am not that high of level yet. But im loving my spec.
Your thoughts?? Any ideas that you can think of?
