Best way to deal with this is to party! Toss curses out depending on the need, and use ur pnova to keep the monsters from rehealing, since in a large party it wont be killing very fast. Obviously, when u hit lvl 30, ur pnova will not be a high lvl, but u should and apparently do have already lots of synergy skills already invested. So asking whether u have LR curse is a good question. One thing tho, as I remember, the poisonresists of skellies and other undead didnt seem to be very high in Nm. It's hard in classic Nm to find some help getting thru the quests, lvling up in slow there and peeps often puke out of the games when the going gets rough. Thats why a pnova necro is so good: everything on the screen is dying, and u should have some minions to keep the other players from getting ganged up on.

One way to get around this is to just amp the monsters, and whack them with a Civerbs cudgel, till u start having corpses. Then u can raise and blow up. This works in early Nm esp if u have one of those concentration pallys around, so u wont need a useless merc (as they are in classic, just good for Duriel meatshields, or early in the act, never later).
Pnova WILL be good when maxed synergized: around 2700 damage in classic per 2 second cast. LR can increase that or at least deal away with presists for all but pimmunes. Some monsters in hell are immune and cant have that immunity removed with even a lvl 8 LR. Cadavers, Maggots(but not their young, which can then be blown up!), CorpseSpitters, undead dolls...lots of annoying monsters. To kill them, lure easy to kill monsters to them and then just blow them all up! Or party.
So... in LoD u can use the merc + Trangs firewall, but in classic u STILL have techniques and a skill to deal out fire damage: CE. Use it.
