Send pet, cast darkness, dot, fear.. welcome to 60.

group up with a druid and just snare kite, u will get the best duo grps

I've also found, at least at lower levels, that grouping with a mage works great as well...2 pets, easy mode.

Ok but what about HP for mana etc, seen necros do that to have mana most of the time

just fear kite your way to 50+, honest to god EZ mode.
you'll pick up tricks along the way.
best of luck.

This. It's hard to screw up playing a necro.

Learned this the hard way.

First 4 levels basically melee stuff down and save bone chips.

Level 4 you get a nice pet. Use him to pull and tank entire fight, throw in a few lifetaps to win the fight and get full exp. (you have to do at least 1 pt of dmg in order to gain exp, otherwise you get only 25% of it).

Fight blues in order to avoid having your pet getting decimated, especially by level 7 when your pet can be level 3-5.

I hear this changes by level 16 or so. Until than it's all basically pet meleeing you sitting medding and throwing one or two lifetaps when your pet gets around 40% (or just to gain exp).

At 8 you'll get a nice undead nuke if you can afford it. At level 10 it hits for 40 dmg. Nice if there are undead nearby. More efficient than life taps.

Once you get engulfing darkness (I think 12?) the game basically becomes easy mode. Just send pet, darkness, dot(s), fear. Repeat as necessary.
