... or even care. But if either are true, I just deleted. I feel kind of pathetic when I have my "farewell" just after Avendella's (hard act to follow, even if you don't want to), but I'm hoping for some feedback.
I'll be honest, it was very hard for me to play a necromancer when nobody wants you to group and you're a Master so you can't take full advantage of the entire point of the class: killing people. I got bored very easily, though as far as I'm concerned a well-played necromancer should never die (barring bad luck), and I never did die until right before I deleted. Yes. I admit, I deleted because I died.
Maelcum, you likely would have chased me off yipping in fear if you had caught me prepared, but in the middle of all of that lag I got disconnected and in that 15 second span of time, fly went down. What are the odds that you then show up to save Sipah and start tripping me to death (no, no accusations... I'm just saying you were in the right place at the right time). It was almost like a show with no audience participation... I got to watch you try to blackjack me, and then kill me, and I had absolutely on input in the fight (my commands were several screens behind when I input them).
In any event, I played him to get a feel for the "other side of the fence", and I think I did decently well considering how little I started off knowing about the necro's side of things. In conclusion, damn it's a pain in the ass to have embalm and animate dead at 100%, and still fail embalm 50% of the time and animate dead... well, it seemed at times that I needed three corpses for every zombie, and that starts taking a LOT of time. I respect other successful necromancers much more now.
Oh, and finally, to the Immortal who made the rangers attack the Palace... poor form asking the Imperials to slay the Master "intruding" in the Palace. I could have much more easily seen you making them Anathema for being "weak" enough to need the help (which they didn't, I'm just saying). Or even after ordering all three of them to kill me, them failing miserably. Mainly I was upset because it absolutely ruined some of my roleplaying plans, though I was able to salvage most of it, at the time.
If anyone has any constructive criticism or comments, please let me know. Flaming will be summarily ignored.
