Without Manastone and Robe, my PLing slows down a bit. But not too terribly much. If you're 60 with all your spells, it's pretty solid. From 1-25 I wouldn't notice them missing at all.
Though losing DS potions would hurt for levels 25+. It cuts the amount of time you have to tank in half. Each 10-dose costs about 380pp to make and is sold in EC for 500 plat. The clicks last 12min (12*10=2 hours). So for 250pp/hour, you are doubling your kill speed via DS. They really are a no brainer to use and are quite affordable.
If you want to PL as a complete ungeared person though, make a bard. All you really need are some instruments and some HP gear. Necros don't require much gear either but they are slower PLers than a bard.
