You are not an elf.

You can do almost any camp a mage or enchanter can, including some that they cannot. You can reach these camps much easier via a CoS and your IvU line. You can FD bank anywhere in the world. You can bind in oasis and use DMF to quickly reach firepots and transport yourself to any town in 10 minutes.
This stuff sounds nice, but it doesn't really stand up to scrutiny.

CoS is convenient but doesn't really let you get around in a way that normal invis does not. Chanters have IVU too. Feign is cool but you can't exactly charge past swarms of level 45+ mobs and feign safely to avoid stuff that sees invis or IVU, but chanters can get past those mobs with lulls. DMF is just convenience, and chanters don't need to be elves. Chanters can bank anywhere in the world too, and they can do your little oasis bind+lev thing to get to pots with air elemental illusion or levitate or peg cloak.

What camp can a necro do that a chanter cannot do? I've never seen a necro solo anything in HS south or east, can't remember ever seeing a necro solo in seb outside of NG or crypt, nor do I think there are many/any of them farming nameds in hole or chardok or solb. Lguk and KC? Sure. But about the only people who CAN'T kill that stuff are rogues and warriors [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
