high level pvp is always fun, although our dots are considerably nerfed for pvp they can be landed. i see a sort of pattern with our dots, being that you can rarely rarely land the high end ones like dread pyre, dark nightmare etc. since they were the best dots for the highest lvl available ( 65 & 70), but if you use the lower lvl ones like horror and disease based ones, and splurt, they have a higher success rate of landing from the testing ive done. all in all lifetap is your best bet, since it crit blasts and crit heals, its also hard to resist even with resist magic over 500. and since peoples resists are not all the same you may want to mem our lower level disease based tap incase you get alot of magic resisted taps.

In one test i did i took a player with fire resist of 96, now our fire dots have a resist check of -100, that would mean that the dot should be tryin to land on a -4 fire resist basically, i had to cast the dot 8 times to land it.

If necros werent nerfed cause people whine to much about getting smoked we would own anyone fast, but now it just takes a little longer. we are forced to use lifetaps to survive since tryin to land most dots is a waste of time / mana and your losing hp while tryin to cast them.

and make sure you have plenty of clicky heal orbs from your DoN progression, cause heal potions are cheap.
