Question - Nec vs Bst for Group Mana

[L8erGator]

I recently put together a more caster focused group. My primary group is SK/SHM/BRD/BST/ZER/ROG. Just as another team to play around with and add some diversity, but also have them be functional on their own, I made a PAL/CLR/ENC/MAG/BST/RNG group. I know the ranger is a bit of an oddball in there but just one I really wanted to have. I use CWTN plugins for all classes that have them for both groups, KissAssist for outliers.

My question is, I mostly do group content and am wondering how much of an impact trading the BST for a NEC would have. Given I have a max AA 120 BL already having a second one just seems meh. But from my understanding the BST has some unparalleled mana regen tools for the group. With MQ2Necro being released would making that swap still leave me with comparable mana regen with their tap line, and how would the DPS compare over longer term trash grinding sessions play out? I'm not familiar enough with necros after their revamp and curious to hear some opinions from those who have a bit more knowledge.

Thanks!

Just based in the fact you already have a bst go for a nec and see how it works out. The ranger is the one that will be eating the mana the most anyhow. If you really want a solid pet group, change the rng for a nec.

Bsts can stack together really well as well
