Need advice - new necro

[T_Amon_from_work]

Never having set one of these up - and no Profession forum as yet - your very own moderator needs some advice on skills and stats.

I set it up via the template, so have Necro, Spirit Speak and Fencing. Weapon I have are dagger and kryss from the blacksmith. I have trained up SS, Necro and Meditation, accepted the SS and Necro quests.

What other skills than SS, Med, Necro and Fencing should I go for ... Tacs and Anat (damage mods) and mebbe some Chivalry (Sacred Journey at least)? Base skill cap at 720

What stat setup would you suggest - base it on a 730 cap ATM.

What armor should I eventually look for ... and should I go for all 70s or not? This is to be a PvM character.

Thanks!

The thing with necro is that it neds regeants. So making a dexxer suit 100lrc is pretty dang hard. Gotta ask yourself if you mind carrying around regs. If the answer is yes maybe try a necro mage.

I have a necro warrior. I'm not all that good with it, but its fun to play. I'm running with:

Anatomy
Focus
Swords
Tactics
Resist
Necro
Spirit Speak

I don't mind carrying regs. The character was started shortly after Age of Shadows and then parked for a several years. There's probably some better hybrids out there, but I like it.

howdy there T. i use a whammy and i rock out regs all day long.on other hand when u die those dang ol skelys and liches are worse than those voulchers in the loony tunes cartoons. u an also make a decent suit 100% or close enough to pls good stats for a decent price.u wont have the killer mods another suit would have but if u die u can get right back in the game.
\and for ur necro warrior seince u dont have bushido or chiv that would save u like 200 points.so maybe ...if u do rock out regs get some storm grips or guantlets of nobility or gloves of the puge for dmi.a heart of the lion for resists and dci.ageis of grace for more dci.leggings of bane for hci,and royal leggings of embers if u switch to vamp form and ur fire gets low. with sleeves over buff fire poison and phys same with gorget
gm necro
gm spirit
gm tactics
gm anotmy
120 fencing
120 parry
90 healing
u probably wont need med if u rock out wraith form with gm spirit u will leach so much mana u wont know what to do with it. curse ur wep every 10 seconds,evil omen everything,also blood oath everything basicly u turn monsters against them selves...its almost like when ur older brother sits on u grabs ur arms and smacks u with them and keeps saying {quit hitting ur self}
ok i have rambled on for too long now i hope this helps or at the vary least i hope it did not confuse you

i play video games not wright novels

T'Amon, remember, in wraith form, you can recall, per the spell, and Arcane clothing can be insured and worn, for the spells you will be casting.

Yup - am having a bit of fun with this guy (Origin - not my home shard). The bloke is Despicable already and I've just barely gotten thru the quests for Necro, SS, Tacs, Fencing. Horrific Beast is a fun one when I want to bump STR and exercise Fencing without spells - and I REALLY need STR now!
