I'm running a similar Necro, and wanted to add my own 2 cents. Here are his general stats (so far <_< )
Black_Mage, lvl 24, Arcane, normal, players 4
PD is lvl 10 with 1 in PE, it does ~180 to 220 over ~5 sec. (more on this later)
Dim Vision 3, Confuse 3, Attract 1, Decrep 1, all prereqs
1 in Bone Armor, MIS-TA-A-A-A-A-AKE!
30 str, 50 nrg, rest in vit+dex (for max block and, maybe later, a bow???)
Studying the Tao of Poison, I came to the conclusion that to make the most out of your PD, it's best to socket your dagger with a single PEmerald and use NO other sources of poison (No charms, no +2-7 on a head, nothing!) This is because poison dagger will add the duration from one additional source of poison (your emerald), but if you add another, the durations get averaged. Also, a single poke is all that you need.
I can 1-hit kill any non-boss-pack enemy with my 1 Emerald Kris. Add a PEmerald and skillpoints, and we'll see just how far I can take this guy. :D
What normaly happens is I Confuse a mob, wait for it to grow, Confuse a few more times, flank them and start stabbing, aiming to poison as many at once as possible. Me and my (also prayer) Merc meet in the middle. Now, obviously, this won't work forever, but this is a learning experience, and I hope to report back with greater wisdom and valuable discoveries.
Ciao for now
