Sounds like you're in the low levels at the moment - it's often kind of a brute force tactic until maybe...8 or 16, depending on which class? But by level 16ish, most classes start to "come into their own" as well as become more specialized.
Necro and rogue is a great duo outdoors. Combining your fear+darkness plus your pet and her blades will probably be your bread and butter strategy for outdoors. (Indoors, fear usually just makes monsters go get their friends in the next room, as you may know.)
I also highly recommend grouping. Necro + rogue + ??? ...Paladin would work great, shadowknight or warrior prob fine, ranger or monk as well, cleric may be worth a try (let the cleric try tanking?), enchanter could work maybe depending on strategy, most other classes you can find some clever way of employing each other's talents. And if you have 4 or more, it just becomes a question of efficiency. Ah, teamwork, my favorite part of EQ.
