Hey

Looking to start a first time Necro and a first time Iksar, never levelled in Kunark. Have a 60 SK and Shaman and a few 50s melees. Haven't played a caster since 2002.

How do I gear a necro, any quality of life stuff? Probably looking to spend 10k or so but have more if something is game changing. Also have a FBSS, 55/5s, an SMR, and a few pieces of loam laying around.

Any tips on playing a necro? Plan to follow the iksar leveling path. How many dots do I stack on a mob?

thanks in advance.
You can gear a necro for ~10k and have decent enough gear til 60. Prioritize Hp>Mana(if low level)/Int(until 200)>Stam(stam scales very poorly for necro)

Words of Darkness is a great clickie for GCD reset and also a free low level lich. JBoots and CoS are both nice QoL but honestly not very important. I would just snag a Goblin ring for charming until 55+ and flush with plat. Snag a mage focus item for reclaiming pet.

Necro leveling is a blast, you can solo all the fun stuff like giants, specters, etc. easier than pretty much anybody. Even doing a guard/bard diet from 20->60 is fun as you'll make a ton of plat in the process.

Enjoy the ride, Necro can be a ton of fun with their huge toolbox. If you have time group, Necro brings all the tools to the group if you aren't lazy. Lots and lots to do with weird duo/trios in particular.
