Now as most of us will be aware there is a problem where you lose control of a hench.

Until the fix that is currently going through the test server is published i find that to solve this problem if you use the command "/petcom_all dismiss" all of your henches are dismissed including the one you have lost control of.

I know this isnt exactly ideal but this usually happens when you enter a sub map (i.e. on a Mayhem Mission where you have to rob a bank and once you enter the bank you lose control of the hench) or when you go in an elevator within a mish. so most of the time you will have a little area where you can resummon the pets.

I hope you find this info. useful

Zombies are still powerful for me. They may be squishy, but they can take down yellow and orange enemies (both minions and bosses) in seconds. Keeping them healed is a priority, and as long as they've got a comfortable amount of hitpoints they can do a nice amount of damage. The only enemies I have trouble killing are those of elite boss rank and up, particularly Infernal.

I can agree with you there, when i tried to kill Sea Witch (i think thats the correct name) I had 3 T1's and 1 T2 and it took 3 or 4 attempts (and she was an Orange EB) I find that killing bosses takes a little more time though (even with all pets as i now have Lich), I am thinking about getting "Assault" at lvl 28 so i can do some extra damage.

I know that it deffinatly works on Necro, so i would then assume that it works with all henches. But i only rolled a robo/ toon today so i havent got to that stage where i could comment about repair.

In a team is deffinatly better (i use Ulver to PVP as my other toons are either not at a high enough lvl or in the case of necrolust i dont want to pvp with a MM) or at the very least sticking close to another player so you can cover each other.

I do really enjoy the PVP I do die, alot, but to "kill" someone is rather satisfying to say the least. Overall its a fun extra but deffinatly isn't an integral part of why i love CoX

But I just dont understand why everyone dislikes Necromancy.

it requires alot of work, I make all my henches attack one target at a time, that way I know where they all are and if that target trys to run i can "heel" them or turn them onto another target.

ah thats good to hear, It will be nice to give them all different names again and make identifying so much easier

Okie Dokie I have rejiged the enhancements to 2 acc and 2 dam on each (thats T1, T2 and the Soul Extraction ) and playing it last night was allot better, things dying MUCH quicker :P thanks for the help

Does anyone have any suggestions about slotting for Necro, as mine each have a health regen, Damage and accuracy (in some cases 2 health regen) and its not that great, i intend to get aid other as my next power as FF does not have any healing power. So what could people recommend?

Afraid you dont get the Lich till lvl 26.

That doesnt matter too much just take a little while longer :P

And as for the respecs, you can only change the powers you've choosen within the pools you took when you first made the character. You cant change your choice of power pools with a respec, only way you can do that is to roll a new toon.

Bum! i was afraid of that, oh well i shall just have to learn to live with it

Well necrolust is now lvl22 and they have their moments the old Zom's but they die... alot i find, even against whites and yellows, I intend to carry on to lvl24 so i can get the Lich which should hopefully make it a bit easier for me but also i think its partly my fault of my choice of secondary (FF) which i hate (not that its a bad set im sure but not what im comfortable with) so what i intend to do is when i get the chance to respec FF's to Dark or if I'm still having problems with Zom's I may change them to droids

I dinged 32 the other day with Ulver and got Nova.... suddenly my love for the toon was reborn, i had fallen out with him shortly after dinging 31 and managing to get myself into 53k of debt but after a couple of very good teaming sessions i had recovered my love for him as he decimated the hp of an enemy 3 lvls higher then me with build up, aim, power boost, and let rip with snipe. Also the nrg secondary set is so so so useful when suddenly a mob gets too close a bonesmasher+power punch usually gets them on tha floor :P or alternativly a power thrust followed closey by power burst gives a nice effect

I would roll a toon if this was available

Now hit lvl 18 and it looks like this:

Zombie Horde:
Varg
Pest
Necrobutcher

Grave Knight:
Horgh

Soul Extraction:
Grim

I just turned lvl 18 with Necrolust and suddenly its more fun :P originally with just two zombies and one grave knight it was fun but you did have to be careful in the number of people you took on, but now with the extra zombie it rocks! also i took the soul extration power and I havent hadd a chance to use it yet so it may become even better

I am though thinking about respecing FF's either that or i need to start getting something from the healing pool as i think being able to heal the minions would be useful

Well I have never tried a brute before so it seems like the perfect opportunity to have look at it, although i dunno if it will be elec/elec, maybe elec/stone cos that could be quite cool and in terms of a back story, as you could say that you hero has these electric powers but needs to ground himself for fear of over charging (or something like that but a bit more eloquent)

My lvl 15 Necro/Sheild MM (although i feel that i shall be respecing to Bot/dark after rolling a new toon yesterday as a test)
Zombie Horde:
Varg
Necrobutcher

Grave Knight:
Horgh

I dont do it very effectively at the moment im using Ulver (see sig for details) and when I am not teaming i just kill stuff in and around Brickstown as to do a mish with him takes far to long and i end up in too much debt
