However, we also get snared whenever there is a druid, ranger, or shammy in group

that spell is one of the ones that really pisses me off about the misunderstood place of shaman by the developers. until recently shaman have always been on par with necro dots, tick for tick. untel recenetly that is, shaman have for some unknown reason lost power in the DoTing department. Too me this is as much a sore spot as druids getting any form of castable HoT and the miniscule upgrades coming our way compared to other classes gains, as well as our slap in the face (aka DoD spells, AA nerf, and exploiter label).

I truely do not understand why all of a sudden shaman cannot dot as well as a necro (seems at onepoint we could dot better..??). one would argue we can heal, well necros can lifetap, hp drain, orb, snare, FD, and have a far superior pet (that can be focused).

shaman dots have always been as powerful as necros in the past due to the developers knowledge and common sence that after debuffng and slowing, we are very limited by agro on how much dots we can toss out without getting summoned and killed. something necros get around with FD. but then again dev common sence has gone to hell in a handbasket and i am probably preaching to the choir

Necros are serious dps endgame, although most have the sense (and the ability since dots have to be self parsed) to keep it tight to the vest. I remember waaaaaay back looking at a buddy's VT logs and seeing 1,000,000 total damage on the long fights and being flabbergasted. These days a min/maxing necro with top focus can crack 1kdps before their stack is fully rolling. 70 Lich being 65/tick is pretty huge too, since you can usually add 20 worn +8MMM click even before a BL or bard is in group. Pet sucks is a bit of a misnomer too. In some raids pets suck, not many necros are willing to give up pet dps soloing by root rotting even though it's easier though.

Still, like most everyone, necros really shine when played by someone very skilled, and resistant mobs kill their dps.

As to being snared in groups.....hope they fix that soon. Rangers best self atk buff (the one bright ones never show shamans /wink since it conflicts with FA line) is indoor wolf, 45% movement increase, which is also a snare with run5, lol.
