Now that KD is gone for the time being, dont be a retard and simply quit the class, we still rock. Here are a few things you can do:

1) Go to lok.
Dizzy/Lunge still works fin eon nyms and soloing them is still as easy as ever, only marginally worse than knockdown. Also, because of the changes, nym missions are now giving 13k-16k as rewards. So simply take two less than 700 distance nym missions, get 30k, die... repeat.

2) Take up 2h swordsman for a while.
They changed curved sword to ADVANCED instead of master. I picked up a 244 damage 2.6 speed sword for 8k, and im 2h hitting for 1400 ad advanced skill. Pretty good skill now that i've used it.

3) Stop whining.
Having played a necromancer in everquest for the first 3 years of the game's release I know what nerfs are about. No nerf in the history of MMORPG's will be as bad as the necromancer pet nerf back in 1999/2000 in my opinion. Knockdown is temporarily gone but dont fret, it will be slightly better soon I am pretty sure.

4) Gamble.
Made 150k last night on the roulette tables.

There are plenty other things than just sitting around complaining. Just wait a week or so for the devs to think stuff through and enjoy the rest of the game for a little bit. The knockdown shock is over, so we are gonna have to live with it for a little while

Well, yes, let's add our positive ideas here :


1) Guys, actually I'm having fun searching the lairs, you either get eggs or a little container with a creature sample inside, with those, an artisan can craft a funny little thing that adds some color out here in the wild... Try it !


2) Try finding minerals with high shock resistance or toughness to bring it to a weaponsmith and ask him to experiment on lowering HAM costs for the vibro-unit and the VK itself.


3) There's a whole story arc out there !

Its been stated before but Lunge + Dizzy has proven to be FAR more lethal on humanoids than KD ever was.


Shhhhh....keep it low...pass it on....avoid the nerf bat.

hehe Obyo



Not to mention our Word of Terris nerf................................


Actually I dont think that pet nerf was that bad, yeah, it sucked when it came, but we lived through and still loved our class didnt we? and we still rock in the high end of EQ (stacking 200dps, while being in cleric group, feeding 1000 mana/min with Mindwrack



Glad to see a former EQ necromancer as my self

You have to be a scout to do this.

This is still bugged. Guildie tried to do this for me. He could get the HAM out of the sub components but when you combine the sub components into the real thing its still not factored in to the end product correctly.

Hmm, I trained on Nyms with KD. Tried the dizzy/lunge a few times, never succesful. First hit dizzy, then lunge and when they get up they go down? Never fell when I tried. Though, I can still kill Nym Pirates with the KD. Just take VK off before it. though, I'm down to around 100 in all bars after it. So a few missed/failed KDs = Death = /


Costs 680 HAM for me to use KD with VKs. Thats a Weeeee bit too much, I'd say.

I was a 60 necro, 2nd on our server (druzzil ro)... 2nd place in best of the best and winner in both 6 and 18 man team tournies on our server. I quit just before vex thal keys were found because my guild left for stormhammer (the members still playing are officers in township rebellion, ciner etc), and key camping was gay.

The pet nerf was still by far the worst... going from 11 delay to like 30 delay was just destructive. But root dotting then became popular and that was my new joy. ANYWAYS...


I think you need power 1 for dizzy... and i think you need to lunge first then dizzy not the other way around.

For now, I am getting my ranger skills up until they fix creature handler. I am a 4/1/4/4 Ranger, Master Scout, 1/4/4/3 TKA and a 2/1/0/3 CH and a 4/1/2/0 brawler.


I hifgly recommend 2h sword though its fun and kicks bum

Oh, and to elaborate on the gambling.

Nothing beats sitting down at a roulette table with a good friend and bidding opposite bets. Me and my friend were betting red/black with like 20k bids... I started with around 80k and was betting red, went down to like 30k then called it quits... then he called me back, and went back up to 160k or so and he lost everything. It was bad, but so funny. I recommend it highly
