After playing a Warrior, Thief, Elementalist Engineer and Necromancer, I would say that after my Engineer (Who’s has a support type build – Elixir Gun) The Necro is the most fun class I have played.
I don’t know why people say Necros have horrible mobility, it’s a fallacy, just use Signet of the Locust for a permanent boost to your speed of +25% and move a lot during fights.
I use Axe + focus and alternate to dagger x2 when I want to go down and dirty and I have never had problems surviving fights other classes (for lack of range) have to fight them from laying on their backs “throwing rocks”.
My build uses 3 pets and I am focused on power gear, precision for good measure and vitality just for sh**s and giggles.
The thing with Necro is that it requires a lot of skill and adaptability, if you’re not up to switching weapon sets and going back and forth from Death Shroud constantly then you’ll find the class tedious as hell, but if you adapt to that play style, it’s a hell of a ride
Enjoy your Necro any way you want, it’s an extremely versatile class.
