What to expect from Necromancers on EZServer (2023):
Necromancers are damage dealers. Once you get close to the top tiers, Necromancers are currently quite a bit lower on damage compared to the other casters (Magician, Wizard and Enchanter). They used to be popular in Tier 10 (Sunderock Springs) due to the ability to use their Death spells along with Epidemic, which threw their various top rank DoTs on a target and Epidemic had those DoTs spread to all surrounding NPCs. This made for a good mass pull and quick kill strategy if you had a few Necromancers. Today the focus has shifted more towards fighting less NPCs at the time, so the Necromancers current DoTs and the ability to spread them is just not very effective anymore. Perhaps we will see a filler damage spell in the future to make up for less effective DoTs. Currently an end game Necromancers deals most of it's damage from Idol of the Jailed from Veeshan's Peak.
Their Epic augment can summon a pet, which like the Mages pet is really awful damage wise, unless you choose to get your Ultimate Weapon and Summoner's Pack, in which case the pets damage will increase by many millions. Their pet can however tank quite effectively, just like the Beastlord, Magician and Enchanter pets. If you plan on making several Necromancers and want to utilize their Death line spells, you need to finish a Quest and pick up Spell: Epidemic from the Intelligence spells trailer NPC in Surefall Glade.
June 2023: In general we have a lot of different spells and effects on EZServer. Some have been updated recently and some have not. While new spells and effects are added, they may have stacking issues with older content. As a general note, you should test stuff on the Practice Dummy yourself if you are unsure what gives you the best damage. Per June 2023 there are some issues you should be aware of involving Angryface Familiar, Mana Necklace, Brunaa's Two Toned Diamond Neckguard and Darkstone, Neckguard of Revenge. So what does this mean for you? If you have Angryface Familiar and use the buff, you don't need to get/use your Mana Necklace XII, as it will not improve your damage, rather just make it lower. However, if you have Brunaa's Two Toned Diamond Neckguard or Darkstone, Neckguard of Revenge, you should not use Angryface Familiar, as it will lower your potential spell damage.
