+/- 1 mana, who cares... if you're an iksar your innate regen is good anyway.

Still lose like 5 hp/tick and lifetaps are not very damage efficient. So when there's a friendly enc nearby I'd still prefer crack till level 49.

That's why you don't use lifetaps, use the lt dot and its way more efficient. Only use lifetaps if you need an immediate heal.

and get some elder beads (no longer drops) to dot life up with a shissar seance staff (VP) and you win the game!

Up to level 49 Clarity is still preferable, since level 34 Call of Bones only gives 8 mana for 10 hp lost compared to +7 mana and 0 hp lost.

You are a number crunching purist, not a Necromancer.


Your math assumes the necromancer does nothing but stand around watching his health drain away.

People pay a lot plat for skeleton illusion! I will always go with lich just for the cool skeleton form!

Whenever i am healing on my necro, clarity is very welcome as i need my life for heals... makes me a more efficient healer. If i don't need to heal, clarity still is the more lazy option... sure i get more mana with lich, but at the same time i don't need to leech HPs with clarity, enabling me to use more efficient DPS spells.
