Necro lvl 15-16 struggle

[Philistine]

Once you get 16 back, FD really early when something goes wrong, especially if you don't have jboots or a sow to rely on to get you out of trouble. I used to die a ton too, and the biggest thing that helped me stop dying was to not wait until I was in dire trouble to FD. Untwinked necros (ie, you and me, from the sound of it) die REALLY fast when actively getting hit. As soon as something goes wrong and you're not pretty sure you'll survive it, just FD and let everything reset.

Also, for spells I'd say try to avoid engaging caster mobs period until you're a lot more practiced. Open with snare, then fear and send in pet, then lifetap DOT, then poison DOT. Just repeat that sequence as necessary.

Hang in there! I was really underwhelmed by my necro until he hit 34....then he became awesome!

I see, ok I though party starts earlier [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
In all seriousness I think I'm OK now

Zone lines are safer to fight at and often free from pathers. Why not park your pet and go pull with clinging? Oasis/sro or oasis/nro are just a couple easy spots that come to mind.

Personally I can tell you I enjoyed that level range in Oasis.

I was only killing undead and brought out the Undead spell kit that consisted of Ward Undead, Sense the Dead, and Spook the Dead.

Only DoT I would add to them was Engulfing Darkness, other than that I'd just nuke away with the Undead DD (I also love the -Magic component it has). Obviously keeping Dark Pact up and having Lifedraw up for health.

Super easy and safe EXP, goes much faster with Clarity and if you can get a Magician to summon you a Staff of Symbols/acquire a Rusty Halberd from a merchant also makes your pet hit for 20 dmg per swing.

Hope this helps!

When I'm 17 I will go back and try again. Not sure why Oasis is so toxic to me. I need to check if I have all three spells you mentioned. I know I have Ward Undead since it is research and research papers easy obtainable at vendor. I may miss one of both others, which would explain my troubles with undead. That would be so typical of me. Other two toons have money, but my Necro is for now pooor (but not for long!) and I know I wasn't buying all the spells. Will take care of this, thanks for the detailed info!

polak, cech, or slovak? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Do the LF bandit sisters. Two at firepit are doublepull, but the other two are singles. At such low level, the math is simple and gives some room for errors and resists/RNG. Each sister has 260HP (+/- 20HP). If you pull them far enough from camp, they run at 20%. If you have to run, Mistmoore is really close so practice that strafe run.

I solo'ed that camp from lvl12 with my enchanter (as a matter of fact, everytime I play a new toon, I take them there at 12/13. Good exp until 17). It is frequently occupied thou, so either check later or try to share.

16-20 do Scarecrows in WK fields ( https://wiki.project1999.com/West_Karana ) #10 on the map. They're Undead mobs so you can use your 30mana Ward Undead nuke, and your 10mana fear undead spell.

If you don't have much of a mana pool, then pull with an Engulfing Darkness, Send Pet, Spook the Dead (UD Fear), Heat Blood, 1 Ward Undead, Sit/Med, re-fear as needed.

If you do have a big mana pool, pull with Darkness, and snare kite it with Ward Undead while pet beats on it.

I did this on a Necro 16-20 and it went pretty fast. There's often high level Druids / Shamans in the zone camping Ogres also, so you can usually grab some free HP buffs and Sow as well.

Thank you, these Scarecrows looks like what I was looking for and my corpse is already close [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If this doesn't work, will try the other suggestions, thank you everyone for all the tips.

Just coming back to tell you, this worked. Actually, I have now 3 easy targets, these Scarecrows (hmm are there really more than one? I managed to only see 1 at a time), that Bard from 5 minutes bard diet, forgot I was reading about this already, but never tried until now, and those brown (carion or similar) spiders next to Craig spiders.

Now suddenly everything is easy. After I died one more time in Oasis when I tried to get back to lvl 16. In Karanas everything is easy. Oasis is death to me, something i'm doing wrong there. (plus didn't have most undead spells lol)

I'm now set for almost up to lvl30. With these three I mentioned above and Craig spiders i will go to somewhere around 21-23, then off to the island with gargoyles (where are Spectres on top) for some needed platina until 28, then I will try my first guards.

Again, thank you and all others for all the help I got.

Note to myself: Necros actually DO NEED those undead spells! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.][You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To-Do: get all undead spells then go only after undead npc's!
