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.

how low is lower? like <20?

also, not to assume you're new to this, but just a tip in general to people who re-roll or twink on a budget -

The EC Tunnel is NOT where you should be garnering slot ideas for your new toon. Just because something is for sale, that you can use, does not necessarily mean it's price was evaluated for use by your class.

Determine what you want in which slot via allakhazam or lucy, then go hit EC.

not going to lie to you, id have to dig for the necro pet spell levels to determine which one's i was referring to.

However, I was mostly referring to levels 1-10. I suspect folks roll necro based on consensus regarding their strength, however starting out you better not be /pet attacking on the Kodiaks and Centurions because they're going still going to wreck you until your pet can:

A.) do enough damage to hold aggro
B.) At least put up a fight while you dig in with dots/snare/root etc.

^ not happening til the 20's, like you identified.

Even after 12 years, I am still amazed Necros can both FD & Rez.

fucking ridiculous. poor rangers.

[jarshale]

In game my nec will be seniksin. Message me if I'm on if any fellow newbies also wanna group up

How about don't be a fool...

Boost int like a normal human being. Get strength gear. Swap on str gear when you get heavied down.

Medding while alt tabbed somewhere safe with a higher max mana = profit.

Iksar all the way if you're starting new for sure.

Also, take some time to learn The Overthere leveling pools and buy spells in advance.

i guarantee int will be a burden the moment you're able to spend $ on yourself, or get into some nice item groups. Necros and Shamans are similar in that you ought to rethink boosting their "main stat" since you'll rarely need your mana pool to effectively kill whatever it is you're fighting.

You. Have. A. Birth. Defect.

Its. Ok.

Just.Dont.Tell.Other.People.To.Make.Casters.With.S tats.Spent.In.Str. (lol it appends a space on stats for some reason)
