Is there a comprehensive FAQ that answers many of the common questions Necro n00bs like myself have?
I've read the sticky at the top and it has some decent leveling tips (even though it seems a bit dated).

Just a few things off the top of my head.
- What transfers to the pet?
- Whats the best way to summon? (armor swapping)?
- What stats are important to the shade and what buffs?
- What are the effective ways/tactics to DS pull?
- What specs work well for different applications?
- What are common misconceptions players have about necros?
- What ToA and Catacombs bonuses are important?

- What transfers to the pet?
con, dex, hits, resists from items


- Whats the best way to summon? (armor swapping)?
con/hits on armor the is swapped out after summoning. int/dex/resists/+spec/toa on the active suit

- What stats are important to the shade and what buffs?
int, dex, dex/qui

- What are the effective ways/tactics to DS pull?
havent a clue wink and i applaud others who have no idea either applause

- What specs work well for different applications?
*i was 50 sight, 18 servant strictly for rvr purposes
*48 sight, 24 serv is a rvr/pve spec, giving up the final af debuff for a higher dmg shield, very useful in both worlds
*47 servant, 25/26 (i forget) sight is the pure mass pull/epic mob farmer spec
*39/37 is a common split spec, i found it to be too weak for my tastes
*as for the applications of the Painworking spec line, this is somewhere i never went, but im sure Aalenox can give ya some great input on it

- What are common misconceptions players have about necros?
too many and im too lazy mischief same goes for ToA bonuses

theres tons of misconceptions but one that sticks out in my mind is spell queing. Necros cant hold down the dd key because if u do u will be oop in 10-15secs.

Does that mean that there is not a compendium somewhere of Necro knowledge?
Thanks for answering the questions, but once this post falls off the map the info will be gone.

the sticky and just take the time to read this forum. Most common questions are asked atleast once a week on these boards and generally answered over and over and over. Read sticky and the boards a couple times a week and you will learn a lot.

Hence FAQ. Frequently Asked Questions.

I'm sorry but 'Community Information Thread: Local Mods, Board FAQ and Forum Specific Information, just doesn't work. I know that's the generic thread title for each class's forum, but it doesn't work or else the same questions that are contained in it wouldn't be asked over and over. It needs to be changed to something like 'Necro class information and FAQ, Read before posting' or something to that effect.
