I feel for you Necro players

Deadeye might be problematic, but my pvp soulbeast build goes about 60/40 vs scourge and 40/60 vs reaper 1v1. If you chase us you catch us eventually, and shroud/shield gives plenty of sustain. Maybe I could do better with a build set up to counter them specificly, but there will be 3 or 4 other classes to deal with in the match.
