Necro? Sorc?

Player Questions Started Last reply 55 posts
Heyy..just wondering - Sorc or Necro?
Im not sure which is 'funner' as im not going to be using this as a main, jsut one to fool around with. As a destroyer main, that might tell you my playing type. But I'm not sure about either class...which is stronger? PvP wise? Sorc's nuke vs a Necro nuke? Easier to level/class change quest? ( This being only for fun, im not wanting to waste grinding times to do quests) and more cost efficient? (not meaning every little thing, but in the long run?
Thanks xD
Necro

Sorc is a dead class.

Necro is better in every way.
PvP, PvE, Solo, groups... anything (although neither necro nor sorc are desireable in groups really)

Why? Because the necro will have mana and still be nuking long after the Sorc is worthless due to being out of mana.
Yeah, I'm not worried about groups, nor about Mp, as I've got my own SE boxed, and on my pw/destroyer I hardly ever party. And another question, out of all casters, which would you recommend for the same above questions? (meaning non-support casters)
sorc is a fun class imo sure its nerfed but its still fun just dont expect 2 pwwn every1

necro is nuker with HP ---> TP overpowerd atm
Necro's overpoweredness you can't give one cause, it has multiples. Sorcere(ss)(r) imo is a very fun class to play, but it has been nerfed and you need good support to truly shine and like your class, it is by far the most challenging nuking class out there.

If you want easy pwnage, Necro is the only way, if you want to see what this game is about, go Sorc...ofcourse 99,9% chooses the first, and very boring path.
Well...still can't decide Atm
hmm you know some1 thats sorc? (i know you know some1 who is necro :P) ask them why they like there class

atm i am making an SPS imho i think they got the coolest nuke ^^ i like sorc nuke 2! i couldnt pick sorc or sps i picked sps cause of its insane cast speed ^^ both classes got poor mana mangement thoug so i have 2 sit all the time

Tjeez is it that hard to use letters instead of numbers...

If you hunt in regions with herbs dropping you should turn your downtime to an absolute minimum normally.

This is incorrect.... mana herbs are rare drops and the little ones that usually drop provide you with at best a few more kills (on both the spellsinger and sorc)

A Spellsinger or Sorc solo has LOTS of downtime even when herbs drop.

There really is no comparison... even with an SE, A necro is far superior and can duo and survive easily where the sorceror dare not go... A sorceror vs a necro is almost a sure bet the necro will win (transfer pain).
A sorceror is a weak necro without a pet.

There is NOTHING useful the sorceror offers that the necro cannot give better.

The only upside of playing a sorceror is that not as many people are playing one (at least in comparison to a necro which is a FotM class.)

jeez is it that hard not 2 whine about how i write jeez who cares i sure dont

and no with herbs you also have 2 sit down 1!11!1 i got 2 sit every 7 min :<

mana herbs arent enuff by far 2 let me grind withouth down time not even close ....
imo you have 2 play what you like and i deff think sorc is a fun class sure you cant beat a necro but who the hell can?

sorc can pvp pve but you wont kill every1
Ahh ..kk.. so I think I'll flip a coin for it then, unless I get some more posts giving me a good enough reason to go for either xD ty all
If death spike, body to mind, corpse life drain, summons, silence, anchor, transfer pain and curse death link can't convince you on going necro, then buy a SLS and start meleeing with your sorc like a friend of mine did :P
Don't forget Mass Fear, Mass Gloom, and Mass Slow!

can't convince you on going necro, then buy a SLS and start meleeing with your sorc like a friend of mine did :P



ROFL really? haha ^^
i respect every sorc i meet.

i PK every necro i see.

Looks like an empty threat to me...

Whether you like em or not, necros are powerful in PvP... double-HP mages with 99% of the bite and all the one-hit wins you could ask for...

Also, that would be a LOT of PKs... necro rerolls/subclasses are so common that anyone you meet with a mage weapon you simply assume they are a necro until you find out differently.
hence my perma red sorc.

only B grade, but i lurk outside giran with a box in dion looking for "necro lfg's"

and when they turn up, die my darling, die.

i cast faster than most of them too. this makes me win.

You don't need mana pots if you use HP pots in conjunction with Body to Mind.
Not viable really for sorcs or SpS... :p

yo dude do you think sorc OR sps has b2m ?LOL dude rofl

i respect every sorc i meet.

i PK every necro i see.



couldnt agree more every1 things that you cant pvp with sorch
sorry but your wrong you CAN! sure there arent 2 many but who cares sorch rules
Sorc has body to mind lvl1. Not very effective, but still. Sorc also gets the clear mind passive skill which helps a lot with mana regen. Maybe you Slayerized should check the facts before laughing at someone who actually knows what he is talking about.
Dum dee dum dum


Hi Everyone!

Just passing through....

haha you go play @ lv.80 and launch a nuke and then use lv.1 b2m go ahead ROOOOFL
First you need to get to lvl 80.

Secondly, EEs and SEs have recharge skill for a reason.

And in the end, the game is broken so who cares.
figure of speech m8 i mean if you get 2 high lv ;)
getting a 'tad' off topic, back to the first question - which would be funner as a pass time? xD
Necro.
xD thx, thats all I wanted :-)
necro is easily the most fun nuker
sure you basically will never use the summons or debuffs but they are there in case you ever do
hmm you say that necro is fun cause you basicly win from every1
hmm and sorch deff doesnt so necro is more fun

i dont really agree sorch is still fun but you dont win from every1
no necro is fun because
the have a couple of nukes like every nuker
they have high lvl summons, and no other nuker does
they have the best debuffs of all nukers

owning ppl in pvp is just an added bonus for the class
prominence = best nuke animation in game.

prominence = best nuke animation in game.



true i really like the nuke animation :) thats a big plus for me ^^
Hydro Blast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hurricane > Prominence. ;)
elf bias much ?
Tyrant and Gladi nukes >>>> Prominence. And they're not even that cool.
we arent speaking of functiuanlity, charm. ofc ty and gl have hardest hiting nukes in the game. prom just looks way cooler.
I was talking about the looks too. Prominence looks like crap.
I'm not talking about the casters - as you know I think human mystics of both genders are very good looking. ;)

And yes, gladiator nukes look cool. It's sort of ruined by the image of someone shouting DOUBLE SONIC SLASH in the background though. :p
Meh, human male mystic looks good only in Nightmare in A-grade, imho. DC, Tallum and Maj are all ugly.

Hydro Blast >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



that water looking swirl at the casters feet ?
having it be sharply cut off at the bottom makes it look really bad

=0 for A grade, either class, I was planning to go DC robes w/ dragon slayer for pure looks xD

LOL really ?:P i think they look like homeless dudes on crack :/
I actually think Light Elevs are the best Looking Mystics and Dark Elves are the worse. Humans are kinda in between. Humans seem to fit their robe patterns very well. Female Dark Elves, well, not going to go there.

On the topic, however.

Both Classes are Fun to play. Necro is alot more versatile than Sorc. I just dinged 52 (48 - 52 1 day in VoS /hint) and it's amazing how versatile the necro is in PvP. I don't think a Sorc Would have much of a chance against Archers/Melee (like Glad/Tyrant) up close as well as SPS/Necro. The Duel system can help you get a look at the PvP aspects of the classes, make friends and ask them to duel and see how they play.

The PvE aspects of pretty much any nuker is quite similar, barring differences in skills used to minimize downtime, crowd control, etc.
I got a sorcy.. Well since you have an SE you wont have a problem. But its just 1 nuke and a very badly nerfed cancel pretty much all the skills u will ever use..Mby slow sometimes if you hunt someone..The rest is useless.
Only thing that sorcy is better than necro is thats a cheaper char to lvl up.. Bones cost a lot
Necro all the way! Though I've never played one, they HAVE to be better than a sorc.

I had a sorc on bartz and what everyone is saying here is true....especially since sleep was nerfed. They're very difficult to solo level...and even in party, you'll still find yourself sitting out to regain MP or to use your crappy level of body 2 mind.
yup :< i dont get why sorc dont get a nice b2m then it would be a great class sleep nerf of
Archmages starting at lvl 77 rocks. Till you hit lvl 77 any other nuker class will outdamage you either on damage or on cast speed. But once you hit the 77, doing your sur to fire, fire vortex, prom you'll do more then ok.

Sorc's use to be excellent crowd controllers with their sleep, sleeping cloud, throwing out a few cancels. Unfortunately thi all is nerfed. btw mp was never an issue for me while teamed up with the SE. The herbs made it all even easier.
what possibly makes you think im going to lvl 77? I don't think you read my first posts =/ its a time waster..prolly wont even hit 65
One last push and my Archmage will hit 77. But in Arcana Robes, Acumen weapon, SE and Prophet buffs I feel I'm doing ok. Other classes may out-damage me, but I have a feeling they may get the nerf-hammer someday and I may actually get another useful skill.

I've played with high-level necros, and they are killing machines for sure.

Necro's nukes aren't really that much better then sorc ones. The thing is that they gimped many of the best skills of the class , once it was too powerfull. What necro has that makes everyone cry are 4 things actually, btm, silence, transfer pain and a summon. It's a 2 mage in one, summoner with nukes, almost imba in pvp. Can own alone many people. BUT remember that on pvp it got severely neferted after c4 overpower. Tehre are many buffs that protect you fromdark attacks these days. The class still good, pbb better then any other mage class. Sorc is in real need of some love from nc devs.
Makes me afraid of a necro, if it is gonna get nerfed eventually. Thats why I picked an orc..seems rather balanced if you go the destroyer path..untill 60 with CoD seems a tad unbalanced from what I've seen..but meh, I'll be the one using it x.x
celebrity u left angor off the list ^^ Should be No1 imo..
Yes thats what makes me keep on playing my sorcy(waiting for sub as we talking btw) the fact that someday it might shine again
