Here is a spell list of Necro's. Keep in mind that it may not have the most recent changes, but it is pretty accurate.
Kiting is still possible, but not to the extent of EQ1. The snares work, but fail more often and are shorter, so you must be more careful. And with a pet you are still kiting, in a way. The most I can kite effectively is 2, maybe 3 mobs. Beyond that I'm overwhelmed with trying to keep up the snares.
A very successful way of kiting with the pet is to use the "agro-free" technique. It goes like this:
- Pet attack 1 mob in a group
- Mob lands damage, they all run to you (except for the one engaging the pet)
- Target next mob and pet-attack.
- 2nd mob now turns on pet, others are still running to you or already on you.
- Pet attack each mob in turn until they are all on the [pet].
- Assist the pet with damage spells and pet heals.
Expect to take some hits until all the mobs are on the pet. Then watch the pet health bar carefully. THis works with normal mobs, I can handle about 3. But if I try heroic, I get my Erudite tush handed to me.
Edited for correct data (pet vice mob).
