=Basis=
Necromancers at level 100 have:
*256 stat points
*54 skill points
*105 spell points
=Stats=

I prefer a Stat line like this by the time you hit 100:
 Strength: 25 
 Toughness: 8 
 Agility: 34
 Focus: 10 
 Intelligence: 160
 Charisma: 75

Charisma is the stat that is the most questionable on this list. I use it because I prefer the additional pet block it provides. But it can be argued that Toughness can do about the same thing by giving you extra HP instead (also adds to HP regen). If you prefer faster Spells, Agility could be the route you go too. 

Here are some core items, and reasons why I put Stat points where I do:

*[[RHand#Tome of the Zylun|Tome of the Zylun]] Requires 25 Strength
*[[Chest#Robe of Vukodlak|Robe of Vukodlak]] Requires 75 Charisma 
*[[Helm#Mask of the Zylun|Mask of the Zylun]] Requires 160 Intelligence

=Skills=
I'm going to list the Skills in order, that I find most important on your way to Level 100.
*[[Necromancer Skills#Staffs|Staffs]] I (There are no items before you hit 100 that need more than 1 in Staffs.) 
*[[Necromancer Skills#Channeling|Channeling]] X (Just like any other caster class, your mana pool is super important. So reducing Spells cost is crucial) 
*[[Necromancer Skills#Mastery of Dark|Mastery of Dark]] X (Mastery of Dark is going to boost the Spellpower going towards casting your pet, which in turn makes your pet stronger.)
*[[Necromancer Skills#Companion Mastery|Companion Mastery]] VII (This gives +3% pet block per point. Which can be super useful when facing aggressive Mobs.)

At this point there are a couple of different ways to go.

=Spells=
Will fill this in asap

=Epic Advancements=
*Rank 1 (AA12): I would stick to the 12% mana, but the  +8% sp is nice too. It's really up to you
*Rank 2 (AA21): No doubt go with the 6% magic casting time
*Rank 3 (AA30): I would go go with the +5% magic shield for better soloing.
*Rank 4 (AA38): [[Epic Advancement#Rebirth|Rebirth]] all the way.
*Rank 5 (AA45): It's your choice between 8% sp or [[Epic Advancement#Arcane Cascade|Arcane Cascade]]. (2 x dmg spell)
=Equipment=
Here is my list of item recommendations through the levels. When listed as: (Used for Soloing) or (Used for Boss Runs) These items are my picks for best end game items for the time being. Also when I say (Used for Soloing) I do mean that you want to wear it while Exping, not during the Buffing stages of Exping.
