Heiho,
a Necro from scratch is not what I'd call a cookie cutter, especially not
when compared to a BH Pal.
OTOH max out Raise Skeleton, then max out Skeleton Mastery, in between drop
an occasional point each into Clay Golem, Golem Mastery, Summon Resist,
Amplify, Dim Vision and, if you like, Decrepify and Lower Resist, and later
on max out Corpse Explosion.
Wear what you like, skill boni, mana boosters and maybe some socketed
topazes for getting all that nice low level Set stuff are always welcome.
If you're on the low side with skill boni you may want to spend more points
into your curses. You may do so, but keep in mind that it is _very_ easy to
get skillboni stuff (OrtSol Helm, gambled Amu, shopped Wand, found Shrunkie
...).
Spend attributes in strength to wear desired equip, spend points into
energy if needed, boost vitality when you're a bit on the thin side here..
Spend later on the other Skill Points at your favor.
Choose the hireling you never had before, since you want to change to a
Mighty guy later on and it's a bit of fun here.
Watch your army slaughtering enemies away, supply them with curses and drop
the CG where needed. Kick every barrel and urn and chest while they do the
dirty job in front. Collect stuff. Proceed to next map. Do every Map, so
you're always a bit ahead of population's mLvl. Further you , respectively
your pets, will be strong enough to do the Act Bosses almost alone.
The two other main branches dedicated to Poison Nova or Bone Spear, aren't
that much faster, but they're more dangerous and item dependant to play from scratch.
PS: was that just me or had the LL a brief breakdown of about one, maybe two hours?
