...Sorry, got a little off track there.
Nobody wants to group with me, and I really don't mind that much... I've always been the "loner" type taking on 3v1 PK attempts, etc etc and doing fantastic. I felt I was ready to play a Necromancer because I know how much trouble they have with THAT problem in particular. I've been playing CF since a few weeks after it came up, steadily. So, I know the game,.. but just a few days ago I decided to SERIOUSLY start a Necromancer. I've played some before, but just played them up to level 16 or so and then assist in PKing and looking all nice in my good armor.
*shines*
Anyway. I'm rank 10 now, Sleep takes 17%, so I can't even go somewhere and practice that. NO ONE wants to group with me, even though on orphans I am getting steady EVISCERATES with my chill touch, and that's only 5% mana... I can so contribute to a group! I have plenty of patience, but I don't think I can go from now until 30 or so ranking by myself. I know when I used to play that was the only time I would group with a Necromancer... I wish I woulda realized that they were somewhat of a resource at low levels.
_-_-_-_- MY QUESTION -_-_-_-_
Anyway, I'm sure anyone who has played a Necromancer has had this problem. I am a Drow Necromancer because I quite simply like Drows. Even though I am only getting 8-11 hp (which is a lot at about this level for a drow for some reason) per level, I am quite deft, learn quickly, and my spells do nice damage.
Anyone have ANY advice? Am I in for a miserable existence, but then I'll hit a certain rank where it'll go a little quicker and it'll all be worth it? (What rank IS that btw?)
Another question, wraithform protects from bash at level 36 (even though the helpfile says 37, I know) .. but is that a 100% protection or does it depend on the skill in wraithform?
Thanks very much in advance.
