And Extended Range.
Affliction Haste is nice.. but less critical now that all the "damage over time" (DoT) cast times are dramically reduced.
Necro is easiest 1-70 Class I know of. You could be mid 60s playing 2-4 hours a day 4-7 times a week in 2 months.. solo and untwinked.
And my 6 year old daughter plays hers alone. She knows to Snare, DoT and tank when the pet gets low then tap back health (hers is 20ish.. but she does CRs too). It can be learned. Ok, sure, harder than a Cleric.
Someone with gear injections could easily hit 70 in <2 months solo.
The first 15-25 levels are the same for almost any class.. get a knife and stick stuff. Past that, learn the basic forms:
* Fear Kite
* Aggro Kite
* Root Rot
* Pet Tank (usually undead with slowing spells)
* Tap Tank
later
* Summon Kite
* Grouping (note this is an optional form.. basically slowing your XP so that others might benefit from your ability to kill at will).
Check: http://www.necrotalk.com/index.php?showtopic=4772 for an old GU comic poking fun about just how hard it really is.
The only way to know whats right for you is to try. Some people really miss whacking things.. and getting bruised. Me, I like being in the rear with the gear. Hence the three accounts listed in sig. *grins*
