hi, just started an iksar necro & i'm enjoying the toon... but that 20% xp penalty is sure more noticable than i thought it would be.

anyway something that has really been bugging me last few levels (level 34 now) is that half the time i kill hi blues i get 1% xp & the other half 2%... but whats wierding me out is when i kill a yellow or white & just get 1% xp or even 2%. is this something to do with the 20% xp penalty?

sofar i have been using my shammy as crutch & have just started pulling with my necro. i have been working on agro kiting ... fairly ez when darkness lands but things get a little screwy when it is resisted as i usually get tagged by the mob & then my pet jumps in & even with taunt off seems to grab & hold agro even after i get darkness to land & venom of the snake. am i pulling too close to my pet or maybe i should just run the mob around until i get darkness to land before pulling it back to pet? any suggestions would be awesome.

i looted quite a few gnoll lariots & the slow daggers in paw during my 20's & was going to save them for my later level pets... does it matter much what weaps i give my pets at these levels? for the most part just been giving him the whips that drop like crazy off the gobbies outside of droga 30 delay 5 dmg i believe.

been away from the game for quite sometime & was planning on taking my necro into droga for some fun xp & wow what a shock my 65 shammy got when he dropped in & lost a bubble of hp in no time to the 2 ent mobs. was i just hallucinating or are the mobs a lot tougher in droga than what i remember?

btw great board here, have totally enjoyed sifting through the pages.

Droga and nurga got revamped, and yes shaman can die there at 65. I normally don't send in trusty lil jabober until the mob-of-the-momemt is darkness and I have a heavy agro dot on the bugger. I guess you could spam /pet back off until you get /pet hold, then this isn't really an issue anymore. Good luck with the necro, I'm an iksar...and the exp penalty isn't all that bad, and once your 65 you have the racial regen, and aa isn't effected, it's really nice when your lich spells hits for 64 a tick.
