Caster Dps

[ikaf]

Hello,

I'm looking into a last caster dps to fill the groups.
If zero donnor is used, gear available up to T8, should it be : wizard , necro or mage ?

Have a wiz and necro already in the team, just the mage that has been on the bench for ever because that pet dies way too easily ( rk I T8 ).

ps : bear in min i suck at coding, so the necro would be manual management too

Thanks !

Given that you'll eventually see the mage rank 2 spell drop and you're looking for minimal manual management, the mage would be ideal.

A good way to help increase pet survivability is check the pets buff window. Have you gone through all the buffs and blocked the ones the pet doesn't need? They have limited slots and if you've not done the above the chances are they're missing essential buffs and songs. Ensure you work on all your raid aura quests to maximise the required auras for each group and then make sure the pets get the ones that count.

This will also help maximise pet damage.

Necros are less management than the others if you aren't setting them on autocast and having to manually do their DPS. Necros are pretty much DoT, DoT, DoT, and forget about them for a minute while their pet wails away. Mages are just like wizards requiring you to hit the nuke key every few seconds for them to augment their pet DPS.

Tested the mage : pet always dead (rk. I) and seems to be doing less dmg than the necros's (rk. I).

Outside of coh moments, don't seem to be a good fit.

Remember necromancer dots are useless unless fighting bosses which take more than a few ticks to kill, whereas the mage can contribute with nukes in all but weak trash encounters. Ideally, you have both.

Stop torturing yourself, lvl a wiz, set up his nuking twist and done !
