Gearing Guide #1 - Necromancer

[bhatz01]

Hi all,

Although the Wiki has a decent gear guide for casters, it seems rather incomplete and doesn't really touch on the intricacies of gearing. I thought the collective experts could put in their opinions on the best gear sets for each class...first up, necromancer.

Earring of essence... really? It's MR gear. Stick with 1 of each of the black sapph earrings. Then replace the one that has the same hp/mana as the ynubb's when you've collected everything else you want.

Shroud of Veeshan... skip it for last and keep ur hiero. Pick this up whenever you don't need anything else really.

Erudite/nec shoulders are as good as the sky nec shoulders up to a point.

left eye of Xygoz isn't really needed either, maybe for ikky's, other than that save it for last. Get a Drachnid Thyxl or IP until you're collecting flavor pieces.

Enshrouded veil > torbins. if you need int, keep your gebs until you have your glorified VP items.

RoA is flavor piece. Use whatever's clever until you can snag the Epic.

BCG = BIS. Don't even throw brell's as a bis, it's definitely not.

No one mentioned Blighted Gloves?
