![]() Hey guys i wanted to post on here because im having issues on my level 5 Iksar Necro. I find i am being forced to kill yellow mobs because the blue-white mobs only give 1% experience and when i end up going after the yellows they are tough as hell and i can pretty much only kill these by burning through my mana pool and possibly some health because i don't want my pet to die because of loss of DPS.
Is this normal for the experience penalty for Iksar/Necro? I know its -30% but it seems like 1% a kill at lvl 5 is a bit much and I might be doing something wrong. Let me know your thoughts on this. | ||

![]() Have to do 51% of damage or pet steals a huge margin.

![]() 1-12 on a necro, or any int caster for that matter, is a giant PITA. My advice to you, which is what I did as an Iksar Necro, is to duo or find a group until at least level 12. Most people with a little extra plat just pay to have their caster PL'd for the first 20 levels.

![]() Necros have 1-12 easier than any other caster due to lifetap and pets. Grab a dragoon dirk and start going to town on mobs along side your pet (buy him a rusty halbred or other fancy 2hander). Lifetap when you get low/every other mob. It's a recipe for non-stop newbie yard slaughtering.
Edit to add: Stick to dark blues, even and yellow cons will hit too hard. You'll only need to cast lifetap, and even then only every other mob.

![]() Wait till you get to level 54 or 59 and have to kill 50 DB mobs to get 1%. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
P1999 is hard mode, and you are not doing anything wrong. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] A Necro is a darn good class to play on here. | ||

![]() Your pet is doing over half the damage so it's stealing a lot of your exp. To avoid this, nuke / melee like crazy in order to outdamage your pet, or just group. As soon as you're in a group (doesn't matter how big) your pet will no longer steal exp. At higher levels it's much easier to outdamage your pet with DoTs / waiting to send in your pet, but at low levels it is tough.
