== Key Necromancer Items ==
Items in this category provide strong and unique benefits (beyond just stats) for a [[Necromancer]].

=== Notable Weapons ===

As casters (who rarely melee) [[Necromancer]]s are less concerned with their primary slot item than many classes.  However, there are a few weapons worth mentioning for [[Necromancer]]s:

  <td>{{:Smoldering Brand}}</td>
  <td>200</td>
  <td>{{HoleVP Short}}</td>

</tr>
<tr>
  <td>{{:Velium Crystal Staff}}</td>
  <td>12k</td>
  <td>{{Velious Short}}</td>
  <td>An even better starting weapon for [[Necromancer]]s because of its powerful proc, which works even at level 1.  However, it costs significantly more.</td>

  <td>150k</td>
  <td>{{Velious Short}}</td>
  <td>5 HP/tick regeneration equates to more mana for [[Necromancer]]s, and since the class can't wear the {{:Fungus Covered Scale Tunic}} this makes this item unique ... but due to its rarity it's also uniquely expensive</td>
