New necro
 

So for the first time ever I'm playing a necro. Could I get some tips/advice or anything like that towards playing? Race is erudite btw.

Reroll as an iksar.

reroll iksar, pump str, buy 10 slot bags, bone chips, food, water, bind @ a bank, and be sure to leave your solo spot as little as possible. :P

Why str?

Carry moar phat lewtz/plats. And as a necro with the lich line, you won't need the int (FM just means you need to cast more) and with iksar regen you should be able to roughly equal the DoT of lich.

Makes sense. I'm guessing I wouldn't need to pump points into int because of gear?

also ding 50 posts

No, not gear. Dark Pact.

I had no idea that existed. fantastic

yea your mana bar will be the least of your concerns once you're liching. if you plan to twink just grab some +mana stuff like Moonstone Rings. Stuff like that paired with inexpensive high int items, +7 int +7 str neck, will right off the bat make you sort of OP for ~1000 plat.

at lower levels dont fight yellow/red cons unless your snare is working reliably, b/c your pet is going to get rocked for a bit.
