Everquest Necro Root Rotting Guide - Great Divide Level 115

A walkthrough during a Lesson burn with a Necro

[@ErgheizCold]

Been like 20 yrs since i've played, but watching this totally makes me want to get my necro back out.

[@christophermosier3754]

I was just thinking the same thing lol

[@user-in9sy8ld1g]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@christopherfisher7824]

You make necros looking amazingly easy to play

[@bromanchoo9863]

So happy I found this - freaking glorious! Better late than never I suppose lol.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

can you do this starting at lvl 60ish? wound spells do not exist before 95, so most people on heroic toons are not going to have this stuff. or on TLP servers. Are these like "splart" line spells? building in damage the longer they are on the target?

[@barrasdh]

This is VERY similar to how I root rot solo on my Shaman. Most mobs in Skyfire are non summoning and rootable with the exception of about half the exp and half the hp. Shaman dots aren't as powerful as a Necros, so there are some differences. The Shamans AE type VP root is really a blast to use as I gather 10 mobs and get them to cluster as I pull them to a safe spot and cast the root on the group. This way I don't run around pulling mobs each time and can just cast dot after dot on the group and watch them melt. I totally agree on the dot and forget them mindset. On the Skyfire mobs I have to cast 5 dots on each of them, but before the root drops they die from those dots. Also agree with the relaxing mindless action of this method. Shaman are not Necros but we obviously share a common ancestor : )

Fantastic

Woo woo MA stand up !

[@5xl100]

You have inspired me to make a necro this looks chill as fuck

[@Paul-jo6xj]

Im about a year late as I just started doing some searching for necro info after starting back up. Do you have any videos on gear and what clickies you use normally and how often? I know about the anguish robe which I don't have yet and that dagger looks familiar although I don't remember what it is. It looks like you have about 5-7 items for click effects.

[@christopherfisher7824]

I have 101 necro my main is a different class been pulling my necro back out. I take you guys can have several spell sets for root rotting to have more damage on mobs?

[@omg1337kkthx]

Where do you kill in Cobalt Scar? I've gotten to the point where killing stuff in GD is pretty efficient for me, but I'd really like to get my hands on some crystallized restless ores.

[@ruffnarbobnar5960]

not sure if your still playin but any tips an tricks for a 85 heroic necro

[@themanjs]

Hi, ty alot for this tip, nice :) Just askin, what is the name of those wounds-spells that is on every 5 lvl that you used? From 95 to 115 that you said and posible to mem 5 of therm, nice :)

[@Jafarmarar]

Splirt, Splort, Splart, etc lol

[@ShaGuangZhiNaZhu]

Any add on to help you track your dots? Sometimes I just don’t know which dot wears off.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

you make me want to play a necro haha

[@sidewinder86ify]

You gotta get that yummy Ice encrusted Summoners earring ;) I've tried to find it for my wifes bst..but damn its rare. One day we will see XXX EM.

[@rlawn]

I just tried using wounds line up and it did not stake for me is this nerfed? I have a lvl 106 necro ..... OOPs my mistake I did not let spells cool down fast enough in my hotkey

[@pjriddell]

they took our wound stacking away :(

[@exemesuff7120]

what dots u using

[@clallen2000]

I am 115 and my root and pestilence persistent breaks in about 5-10 seconds when I root rot. I have flesh to venom and is that considered DD. I am checking to make sure than none of my augs are DD also. Any suggestions?

[@bradleysmith8377]

try adding flesh to venom to your blocked buffs worked for me

[@benjaminconner8405]

Where is a good spot to rot between 110 and 115? FM is pretty good until 109, but is turning light blue already.

[@EnderSword]

Sathir's Tomb was the place for me, the entrance, a bunch of Sarnaks and undead and most are single, the zone seems to have a good xp multiplier.

[@themanjs]

Hi again :) i tryed to cast lvl 115, then lvl 110, 105, 100 and 95 of those wounds-spells, they whent on, at the spell line-up on the mob only one at a time, found that to be a bit sad, do you know if that is a AA to fiks or what i need to do? But agin ty alot for good wideo my friend :)

[@EnderSword]

Yeah, unfortunately several months after this was made, they nerfed it so that the wounds spells would not stack anymore.

[@themanjs]

@@EnderSword ooh i see, sad stuff, well need to look for the second best spells then :)

[@NyxximusGaming]

What spells are you using ???

[@timetraveltylerpsna]

I just started playing again since omens or discord. Your spell bar has 12 gems? Is that for being an “all access” member or owning the most recent expansion?

[@EnderSword]

Yes, it's actually even 13 now, I didn't have the AA for the last one at the time I recorded this. Since it's an AA, Mnemonic Retention, free members are limited in how many AA they can had, so not sure you could unlock all with a free account.

[@timetraveltylerpsna]

@@EnderSword thanks for getting back to me. Going to be a lot to try and figure out. I need to find a discord group or something.

[@pjriddell]

Wounds no longer stack :*( would love to discuss strats with you, I'm on Bertox server.

[@clallen2000]

I'm on Bertox server also

[@Fizzinthorpe]

How are you soloing after the DoT revamp? I'd love to see how you adapted.

[@EnderSword]

To be honest I read them and quit playing.

[@mandatedgames4174]

Can you elaborate on this some? I haven’t played since ros but just preordered luclin what did they f up now?

[@dn544]

@@EnderSword yeah cam here to try this out, and then boom i see i can't stack them now. pretty effing annoying

[@TacticalSystem]

Thank you for this video EnderSword. I made a Necro because of this. I tried to Google more on this 3 min unbreakable root you have. I wasn't able to find much. Could you explain what it is, how it works, and what aa you need to get it to work the way yours does? Thanks again!

[@EnderSword]

The root is called Pestilent Paralysis, 3 minutes, won't break unless you DD or Melee it. It's first available at level 85, its like 2 minutes or so then then as you rank up it increases. Until you've got that you should mostly be kiting things.

[@mandatedgames4174]

It’s an aa

[@clallen2000]

I just tried using the wounds spells and they won't stack. Has this been fixed by a patch?

[@EnderSword]

Yeah, this is 3 years ago, they did end up revamping a lot of the Necro spells so that lines can't stack with themselves

[@clallen2000]

@@EnderSword I noticed my root broke within 5-10 seconds. I wasn't using any direct damage spells or a pet.

[@tapoemt3995]

SMH. I remember doing around 2k non crit dmg in a group and everyone thought I was a God... With numbers like that, do Necros solo their Epic 2.0's now?! Do they even bother getting 2.0's?? I had the server first and now it feels like nothing.

[@omg1337kkthx]

Unfortunately there were recent changes to the epic 2.0 that has made it completely worthless beyond level 100 - only took them 16 years.

[@neverusingthisagain2]

Most people still do 2.0. And yes its soloable.

[@tapoemt3995]

@@neverusingthisagain2 Ah cool, thanks!

[@duckdodgers]

can you do this at lvl 110?

[@EnderSword]

You can, it'd be not as efficient there, but you can do a very similar thing in Sathir's Tomb, the mobs have about 1/3rd the HP there

[@SweGunner71]

Blue con to a lvl 115 in GD? They must have changed the zone since 2009 :)

[@EnderSword]

Lol, yes, very much an entirely new 2nd version of all of Velious in a new expansion from last year.

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

fear kiting isn't a thing anymore?

[@EnderSword]

Not for about 15 years now :)

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]
