From 12 to mid 20s necros are one of the most effecient melee classes with the best damage shield in the game and a life tap proc. So they do need some gear. If you let your pet do more than half the damage you lose half the exp so you don't want your pet doing most of the damage. Fear kiting is not really viable until late 30s. Farm spider silks and make your own raw silk armor that will help a bit and make ya feel better. Sell the rest of the silk to get yourself 55hp rings x2 which will last you for 50+ levels. get a sacrificial dagger for 50p or so which is a pretty good piercer and with vampiric embrace makes you a bad ass melee until you can charm undead in unrest for a real pet.
