Djinn's Pet/Debuff Necro Guide

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:

• Tome of the Zylun Requires 25 Strength
• Robe of Vukodlak Requires 75 Charisma
• 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.

• Staffs I (There are no items before you hit 100 that need more than 1 in Staffs.)
• Channeling X (Just like any other caster class, your mana pool is super important. So reducing Spells cost is crucial)
• 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.)
• 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): Rebirth all the way.
• Rank 5 (AA45): It's your choice between 8% sp or 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.
