Greetings,
I am a struggling level 11 necromancer. I hunt primarily in east and west
commons and NRO and am having a terrible time getting exp. The only things
that con white or yellow that i can take are young kodiaks. The orcs and
dervish consistently frenzy on me and kill me. Lavastorm has been good but
I have problems finding a good tank reliably. Any suggestions on hunting
locales or on how to not frenzy orcs or dervish (these are the only MOBS
that do this to me). Thanks.
Grymspine
LVL 11 Necromancer

>One more thing that the DoTs have over DD is that it DOESN'T do the damage

>BB does 405 damage, but the critter stays on pet after you cast it. Force
>Shock does 200, yet the critter charges straight at the wizard who casted
