necros - nerfed badly yesterday

My necro already sucked before yesterday's patch, but at least I could kill 2 same leveled mobs (current level 43), and usually a 3rd. Now they totally changed/revamped the class on us. They gave us more useless pets, and nerfed our best AoE. Needless to say, I'm pissed.
I am now getting owned by 2 same level mobs unless I rely on potions (and even then 2 mobs are now really risky) and 3, forget about it, even with my new army of useless pets.
I'd sell my account on ebay, but who would buy a necro now?
Thanks funcom, you suck.

I think they edited Necros because of how awesome they were end game and it trickled across all levels. They really were very powerful end game. I am sure balancing will be done constantly and it will work out in the end.
I do wish devs buffed other classes, and never had to nerf but its never been the case.
No, necromancers were 'buffed'
Jayde said so!

My 56 took out a patrol of 4 level 60s that caught me by surprise.
I am reanimation spec. With the patch (and the nerf to soul swarm), the nightfall tree is near useless now. It's sad that there aren't two completely seperate viable specs for necros, but reanimation itself is quite powerful.
EDIT: I should point out that health tapping life-stealer pets isn't possible until 50. I'm not saying that the above scenario is possible at 43.
ow heres thread number 11842479014701874017 about this. boo hoo
Whats more annoying? He who brings a valid issue about a game or he who brings nothing relevant to the thread?
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"

nerf is mmorpg everyday life ...
gonna have to get used to it, if it was nerfed too bad they will buff it soon enough
As about buffing all classes instead of nerfing ... do you really want to reach level 80 faster??? It seems fast enough no!?
What is that about the wrongly advertised thingy!?
You can find about everywhere that Funcom reserve itself the right to modify the gameplay as much and often as they want.
That's why it is very hard to ask for reimbursement for mmorpg, they can just change/break/remove/add anything they want as oftern as they want
Note that it is why I play mmorpg only since years, I like evolving worlds
This is something akin to what Blizzard has done with several classes, however the way Blizzard handled the issues was vastly superior overall and highlights the major shortcomings of AoC. Like a lack of spells and abilities.
When Blizzard had to change a class, it often had to do with the endgame as well. However, the varying solutions had to do with spells themselves and not the overall core mechanics of the class. Further, the changes were restricted to precisely the problem level(s) because there is a large plethora of spells and series of spells to work with. These spells and series of spells being more or less bracket specific.
One of my complaints about AoC has to do with the total lack of spells, and especially the lack of useful spells. Necromancers got the shaft all across the board because there wasn't exactly a cornicoupia of ways to fix the issues otherwise.

Well, since MMORPG game boxes are usually sealed you cant actually read the 'small print'. Many people go by what is printed on the outside. Since the info on the outside is 'False' it is considered False Advertising.
Sure, I knew that the small print had a get out clause, but because of the sheer scale of the false advertising done by Funcom I though i deserved my money back.
As for the buff/nerf thing I'll be quick. A dev (Jayde) said the necromancer was getting a HUGE buff in the 23rd June patch.... Necromancers actually got a HUGE nerf. Now every class is hoping to get funcom nerfed instead of funcom buffed
edit: not only that but they spun the patch notes to make it all ok. They have even started editing posts from weeks ago to 'correct' things ie cover their asses

Your a stupid noob necromancer, learn to respec and adapt. Reanimation spec is much more powerful now. With the void spell on my pets. My pets is insanly strong now. Before you spewing out necromancer class is useless, LEARN TO play your damn class. God i hate skill less noobs cry because of certain feat nerfed. Now we know whos a good or bad necromancer player now. QQ more.
I am sorry for you, OP. But I am not surprised. In beta it was clear to me, the classes were VERY imba, and MUCH change/nerf to be expected. It was just release WAY to early, and one of the things making people aggro VERY fast is toying around with the class they got used to. When classes are not fully balanced, at least to a degree it makes opening the pandora box a joke compared to a flames a company causes. I'll never understand why they didnt wait half a year to release it in a more complete and balanced state.

AoC devs are just not very good at their jobs. It is a shame too.
The major problems are that they have a PvE game that has been sold as PvP. So they are once again ruining the 90% of the people that don't want to pvp for the insignificant number of players that want balance fairness balance fairness balance fairness...
Makes me ill to see that wow's childish mentality has once again ruined another good game.
(Oh and I took out my Nerco for a stroll and was completely destroyed by every single thing I came across... until I realized they had respeced me
