What should a new necro spend 650pp on?

[Magrim]

Looking for gears some nice person gave me some 500pp when I asked for a buff. I called that a buff!

I would like probably a robe and a cool staff so I can stop looking like a hobo pirate. (please specific items in my price range)

[pharmakos]

they won't look too cool, but there's a good case to be made for getting yourself 2x Platinum Fire Wedding Rings... 55hp / 5ac on each one.

or if you're going for aesthetics, necros look pretty badass in Advisor Robes. not sure on staves.

[Supaskillz]

In my opinion best upgrade for that price is a lair of 55hp 5ac rings. That's a lot of hp to avoid random deaths at low levels and is great with loch line of spells.

If you are concerned about style maybe go flowing black robe + staff of writhing, I always thought that was a sweet necro look.

EDIT: great minds^

Flowing Black Robe is pretty cheap and will get you a few stats.

Staff of Writhing if you really want a staff. Doesn't proc until 28, though.

Edit: Others posted while typing. I agree that the rings would be your best bang for the buck at this point.

I'd recommend saving at least some of it. Later on your spells will get more expensive, and there's nothing more annoying than leveling and being unable to afford your new spells (plus spells are more important to casters than gear).

Also there are other small things (eg. rusty weapons for your pet) that it's nice to keep a little extra plat around for.

personally always liked platinum skull rings for a necro

but can see the argument for having an extra 50 hp instead of an extra 40 mana

[pharmakos]

platinum skull rings are a good option too, and a tad cheaper... but i assume harder to find for sale in EC

If you can't buy your spells when you level up as a necro, you're doing it wrong. Necros have so much potential for plat generation while leveling..

Best thing you can do is reroll as an iksar; the health regen makes a big difference for necros

Do we know he's not an iksar?
