Necromancer.gif

Necromancers are the masters of death and undeath, and utilize fire, poison, disease, magic and corruption magics to overcome their foes. Their choice to purvey the necromantic arts has alienated them from most old-world civilization - in many places they are killed on sight and not allowed to buy or sell. As such, the necromancer is forced to be a highly independant class - very few support classes can enhance the necromancer arsenal, and items/gear do not provide the same benefits to their Damage over Time spells as they do for other classes that utilize instant magics.

Necromancers have a deep affinity for undead, with limited abilities to mez, slow, fear and charm them. However, don't confuse affinity as meaning innate bonuses to destruct; the ability to destroy undead best lie with clerics & paladins and their innate hate for the undead. The Necromancer is classified as anti-natural, the necromancer does contain some very limited unique abilities regarding the destruction of Animals and Plant based mobs.

Necromancers are the premier DOT (damage over time) casters, and also have a cohort of other abilities & utilities that are very powerful. The Necromancer can solo exceptionally well from level 1-60 provided their targets do not summon and are not immune to changes in run-speed. This is accomplished using a variety of abilities, particularly via the means to halt or slow a mobs movement speed and utilize your built aggro to "kite" the mob around (or use fear spells earlier in the levels and chase it as it runs away from you) while doing full capacity damage at range. The ability to split mobs utilizing feign death increases this capacity as well as drastically increasing personal survivability when things go awry...or even just aggro management.

Also, the necromancer has excellent self-generated mana regeneration abilities in the game, commonly referred to as lich. The greatest benefit lich has compared to other (superior) regeneration capabilities is that necro lich is passive, requiring no further intervention or attention other than standard long term re-buff efforts. Lich results in the necromancer having the highest mana regeneration capabilities in the game, which translates into extreme independence & sustained DPS capabilities.

Necromancers are sought after in raids & groups for numerous abilities, but primarily for their outstanding damage capability.

  • DPS is the overwhelming reason to seek out a necro. This is accomplished by stacking DOTs and utilizing other class abilities that make those DoTs and effects more destructive. By utilizing feign death to manage aggro, the necro can DPS with near impunity. However, since the necromancer requires -time- for their spells to do damage, their DPS contributions are usually inversely proportional to that of their group i.e. the better the group (shorter the fight), the worse the necromancer contributions. The worse the group (longer the fight), the more the necromancer contributions excel. As a rule of thumb, the longer the fight the more DPS the necromancer can provide...up to a point. For long duration events, the ability for a necromancer to continue destruction is unsurpassed.

The necromancer can also compliment their groups with the ability trigger group heal spells as a result of casting detrimental spells. This brings a good measure of the necromancer independence to the entire group.

Necromancer have hands-down the most efficient detrimental spells in the game from a pure Damage per Mana (DPM) aspect...but in practical application in the fast-paced group game the necromancer endures the worst DPM of all spell casting classes because 30-80% of their DoT damage potential is wasted on a corpse because the spells are unable to run their full course. Only during solo activities and the more lengthier (raid) fights can the necromancer generally get their efficiency as advertised. However, the high mana regeneration capability compensates for this.

Some more unique DoT characteristics are: spells are applied fully or resisted fully...unlike instant damage spells (nukes) which can be partially resisted. As such, the necromancer spells typically have a greater resist mod and generally are much more reliable to land.

DoT spells can score critical ticks, but there is no visible report of this. You don't get a "you score a critical blast!" message, ever, from a DoT. The damage simply doubles. You need to monitor your damage reports to see your critical DoT strikes, or parse the fights afterwards.

  • Their ability to pull is minor in the group or raid game due to the difficulty surviving taking hits as a cloth wearer re: extremely low AC caps and HP. From a pure pulling skill / efficiency viewpoint they are inferior to bards, enchanters and monks and from a survivability viewpoint are even surpassed by their hybrid shadowknight -thus necromancers generally don't play this role in a large raid or difficult group content. However, the necromancer can generally split off mobs quite well as long as they are not immune to changes in run-speed or linked. One the the biggest reasons necromancers are inefficient pullers is the 1-minute aggro dump and long reuse timer on perfect feign i.e. a necro takes an awful long time to split some targets compared to those that can clear aggro at will or mem-wipe/blur.
  • While Necromancers can also fear and mez and slow undead in limited fashion, neither of these abilities see any usage on raids. Both abilities are NPC-level capped.
  • Necromancers are also considered one of the 3 "pet classes" as they have undead pets to do their bidding from very early levels and receive benefit from pet focus items. Of the pet classes (magician, necromancer), necromancer pets are moderately weaker (due in large part the inability to support them as well as magicians), but we do gain benefit from items with pet focus effects. The Necromancer pet can be equipped with magician-summoned gear to dramatically improve their survivability & capabilities. The necromancer has two pet varieties - a warrior and a rogue. The warrior has slightly better survivability but reduced dps compared to the rogue (which requires proper positioning at the rear of targets to allow backstabbing). The Necromancer does have the unique ability to command their pet to /feign, but it is restricted to be successful only 75% of the time which ultimately guarantees your pet dies 25% of the time you need it to survive a bad pull or aggro.
  • Traditionally, necromancers were utilized long ago for their ability to transfer mana directly from themselves to a single other player character. This twitch line of spells is loathed by many members of the class as it requires the necromancer to cease all DPS (the main reason you keep them around) in order to give a very very small amount of mana to the recipient. Unfortunately...even today, the occasional ignorant raid leader will still send calls for necros to start twitching or pumping when clerics report LOM status. Simply ignore the requests and continue DPS'ing if you find yourself in this situation and odds are you will receive compliments for twitching anyways.
  • Lastly, the necromancer class is very fun & rewarding as long as you are not determined to be the best in all situations. Necromancers are arguably the most independent of all classes (most abilities are self-only), making it a prime choice for those that plan to solo the majority of their careers - or those wanting an alt to solo when they are bored (or frustrated) with their main. However, necromancers are also outstanding additions to raiding guilds because of the extreme DPS potential. The continual learning strategy that opens up with levels, abilities & skills keeps a ton of content open to the solo necromancer that otherwise requires group efforts. However, despite the grouping penalties - the necromancer is still usually required to find groups to do any content that drops equipment upgrades or advancements in progression.

Creation Guide

Picking the right race

The first thing you have to pick then is your race. Which race you pick will determine the foundation of you character for the rest of your life in Norrath so it is kind of important you pick one you like. Now in terms of faction, Necromancers are generally hated everywhere, so there is no huge difference in the races in that aspect.

The Iksar necromancers level slower than the other races, but they have a health recovery bonus which assists when in skeleton form regaining mana, and the ability to forage for food. They also have a built in AC bonus.

You should also keep in mind that Erudite Necromancers have a number of quests available to them that no other race can do.

Starting Statistics

Necro-stats.png

Spending Your Bonus Points

The races capable of becoming Necromancers are naturally intelligent and make good use of their considerable intellect when researching new spells and developing their magical abilities. The single biggest influence on a Necromancers abilities is their intelligence statistic and ideally should be developed before all others.

Necromancers have a lot of spells which convert hit points (physical health) to mana (magic energy), because of the aggression Necromancers generate in combat, these spells work most effectively if they have a fair amount of 'safe space' preventing them always being low on health. Stamina along with a few other factors, determines a characters total hit points, raising it can be helpful but still only of secondary benefit to intelligence.

1. The intelligence statistic is crucial to a Necromancer and at low levels should be increased as highly and as quickly as possible.

2. Items can be obtained that increase the natural health regeneration rate of a character, for a Necromancer who is often losing health at a steady rate while converting it to mana, they can be very useful.

3. Necromancers are one of the most hated classes on Norrath, this is often countered by employing others to help buy your spells and supplies for a small fee, try to keep stocked up on all the essentials as the fee you'll pay will probably be more then you would buying supplies from a friendly merchant.

You'd benefit more from splitting your points up, doing 10-15 points into Int, 5-10 into Str, and then 5-10 into stamina as a first character. People who are established and are able to obtain equipment at earlier levels would be much better off putting their creation points in to Str and Sta generally. Iksars and Humans would likely always benefit from at least 10 points into int however.

Religion

Religion is not of a huge concern to Necromancers as they are already hated. Most choose to worship Innoruuk the Prince of Hate, as it ties in well their role. The other choice is Bertoxxulous. Necromancers cannot be agnostic, as their dark powers are directly linked to their worship of the dead.

Pet Information

Focus Item

The only pet focus item that Necromancers can obtain is the
Encyclopedia Necrotheurgia
Encyclopedia Necrotheurgia
Item 789.png

MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO DROP
Slot: PRIMARY SECONDARY
Effect: Reclaim Energy (Any Slot/Can Equip, Casting Time: Instant) at Level 40
Focus Effect: Minion of Hate
WT: 2.0 Size: MEDIUM
Class: NEC
Race: HUM ERU DEF GNM IKS

. Similar to the Magician pet focus items, this focus item makes the pet larger in size. It also provides a +1 level bonus to all summoned pets from spell levels 46-60. This allows for pets that can exceed the hit points, melee, and spell damage listed in the tables. The +1 level is added to the RNG of the level of pet you would have summoned. When you finish casting a pet spell, RNG will determine the level of pet you summoned in that pet's level range. If using the focus item for that pet, the pet's level will be RNG+1.
As an example, the Emissary of Thule pet has a level range of 43-47. When you cast that spell, at the end of the cast RNG determines the pet level to be level 47.
If you are using the focus item, it adds +1 to the RNG so the pet would be level 48.

    Specialization

    Necromancers have maybe the hardest choice of all. There are three classes of magic which would all be powerful additions for a necromancer.

    Firstly there is Alteration. This covers many of the DoTs, Lifetaps, and Undead Charms. These spells are used a lot by necromancers, often in heavy combat situations.

    Secondly there is Evocation. Whilst necromancers don't get a lot of nukes, they still pack quite a punch and can be quite nice with a primary Specialization. Whilst soloing necromancers tend to rely on their DoTs more, a necromancer with a good solid guild may find it worthwhile to specialize in Evocation.

    Lastly there is Conjuration. This series covers the pet summonings, darkness and disease series of spells. It is probably the second most popular Specialization for the class after Alteration.

    I would recommend going with Alteration myself since you will use these spells as a Necromancer more than any other.
