Necro is an interesting classo to play but it has some serious deficiencies in my opinion. Among them are:
The strength spell nicking a con point is kind of silly. Does anyone actually use this? I can use potions and scrolls obviously, but why make a useless spell.
Bone armor, this is the biggest problem with using necro as your prime caster level. It shatters almost constantly at level 24. It is obviously based on mob level against caster level but this is really unreasonable. I can't kill groupers, parasites, pretty much anything over 300k will shatter my bone armor, chewing up my mana at 16 mana per recast and eventually causing me to recall. Sucky.
Word of pain should be level 16 or so, a level 20 caster should get some kind of useful offensive spell by the time mages have fireball. Maybe not word of pain but something at least. Vamp touch is cool but it doesn't seem to do much damage and frequently enough yields a palrty return on hp.
Reign of the spider, this might just have been overlooked, but since the spells says any level 20 caster, shouldn't necros also get the spell? If not that kind of stinks in that if you are foolish enough to do warrior/necro you will be waiting till level 20 of your tert class at least to get out of webs without having to dispel.
On the plus side, arms is cool, wall is swell.
Anyhow, opinions?
