30 Necro questions and looking for the path less travelled

[Griffy]

Howdy,

As a reformed Druid I have to say I really enjoy playing my little Neco, but I do have a few questions I hope you guys and girls can help with [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

First, All the normal camp site I have seen listed for solo Necros "My preferred method of leveling" seem to be permacamped. I have hit most of them. Treants in SK are always camped. Bard in NK is 50-50 but the guards on the bridge next ot the spire I would like to pick up are also always permacamped. I hit Cynthia in rathe mountains once or twice but there has actually been a waiting list. Common lands guards are also camped. Currently I'm fighting in OT but I had hoped to do something different "Since this is where my druid had done its leveling" I would be open for any reccomendations

2nd, I'm actually having mana issues now that I switched over to 29 spells. I know that's a bit to be expected when you switch to newer spells, but I went from 3 or 4 mobs per mana bar down to 1. "And in a hell level that is just not working"
my spell layout is
1: Dooming Darkness
2: Fear
3: Boil Blood
4: Vampiric Curse
5: Spirit Tap
6: Shock of poison
I have been leading with Darkness then fearing and sending in the pet. Then running through the dots while the mob flees. Spirit tap if I'm Low on health, Poison if i'm not to save the mana.

Am I doing something wrong?

3rd as a Gnome Necro I'm finding it a smidge difficult to bank on a consistent basis. one of the reasons i feel relegated to hunting in OT is because I can at least bank there. I would love a few suggestions.

4 should I bother going to paw and killing/buying the whipe from there for my pet? would it make that much difference?

Thanks a ton for your responses ! Go team evil !
