Default Twinking a Caster for early level melee

I'm wanting to start a necromancer, but want to churn through the first 1-12 levels as fast as I can. I don't think a Erudite Necro can do the Crushbone quest and I can't afford PL'ing, but I can afford some gear. I was thinking I could gear for melee and tank/lifetap with my pet for a good bit of this range.

My first thoughts were with these items:
Tolapumj's Robe (36% haste)
FBSS (21% haste), but does it stack?
Smoldering Brand (1hb 9/22 w/ an 11-14 DMG proc that works at level 1)
and then gear some +55 HP rings and such.

What are your thoughts on this strategy and does anyone have better suggestions? I only have about 8k to play with.

Sounds like a very costly way of getting through those levels, a bit fun though. Is it not cheaper to buy a bunch of Deathfist belts to take you to 12, or will you not have enough faction to be able to hand them in?

Worn haste doesn't stack, so skip the FBSS. Those 3 items are relatively cheap.

Tola Robe/Smoldering Brand/55 hp rings will easily get you to 10 or 12. I think I kept a Smoldering Brand around until 20ish because sometimes you need to melee to finish off a mob.

Plvl to lvl 12 prolly only cost you like 1k?

haste robe or any haste item for that matter seems like overkill. I would just go 5/55 rings. Maybe invest in 30 mana 20 hp earrings. Maybe that 55 JC neck too. They can still be useful when you done with your Melle days.

Smoldering brand is a good choice though. I leveled my mage to 12 quickly with it and no haste. I had 5/55 rings but none of the other jewelry I mentioned. I was lightweight twined.. maybe 2k total and it was no problem

Stien of Moggok is cheap too. 10 INT is always nice to have for any INT caster.

Lol true. But what does that have to do with OP's question?
