Necro spell - Shackle of SpiritFollow

This is a level 39 undead slow. Is there an improved (higher level) undead slow for necros?

Also, the information here on Alla says that it slows 70% at level 60. Is this accurate or is there a cap to how much it will slow?

There is no updated version. The spell slows from 45% to 70% at level 60 (which is just 5% slower than the best shaman slow spell in the game.) Necros own the the undead with this spell.

I was talking to my friends in guild last night and we were talking about slow spells. Seems that the high end game is so reliant on slowing mobs you almost have to have a slower in your group. This shouldn't be the case and it detracts from the game. IMO they should do away with slow spells and make the mobs hit a little less often. I am a 65 necro and the mobs will wipe me in a matter of seconds even with rune up at high levels. This is also the case in veksar where I have been going lately and using slow which has major taunt. Crazily it only takes 1 second to feign death but many times I find myself dead before I get it off if I get agro.

Maybe I should reword that they will wipe me in a matter of seconds if they get within melee range which can easily happen with the way mobs warp. If that makes me an idiot then so be it. All I am saying is that groups shouldn't have to have a slower to succeed. Nor should people have to kite mobs to kill them. On top of this many mobs at high levels summon so they can't be kited.

BTW winged if you can take more then a second or two of beatings from a mob that quads for 300 to 700+ you must be uber indeed. The tanks can't even take many hits without uber equipment. The mobs generally have to be slowed and even then it's tuff. For example in Veksar some of the stuff was hitting for 350+. I slowed them with shackle then sent in pet and it was still tuff to keep the pet alive and if I got agro and it summoned me then I would be lucky to get out alive.

Warping is really TICKING ME OFF. It is happening to me constantly during kiting, and I am taking a lot of damage that I should NOT BE GETTING. Also, when you pop an AE on a group, they suddenly warp MUCH CLOSER, and I have to run like H to get away. Also is screws up the timing on spell refresh, if you stop, "This is the right distance." then bang they are half way closer before the spell goes off. GRRRRR.

PS, not highjacking, somebody mentioned warp up above, and it pushed my button. Sorry for the rant anyway =/.

It depends on where you are fighting in the zone. I have been fighting in Veksar to get equipment for my beastlord alt. In the middle "church" the mobs hit for only 200-250. They are easy to take down. Once you get a little deeper "highborns" the mobs start hitting for 350+ and have a lot of hps. You can't let your pet tank for long without slowing the mob or it will be dead ASAP and if you get agro you may well be dead yourself even with rune up. Some of them also debuff you which sucks.
