I am curious, what builds do you poeple use when playing as the necromiester. I pick death bolt, and pray i can get to a chest before getting killed. Then i throw items until level two. I pick raise undead. Then the next skill point goes into raise undead. Then i have four skeletons to beat down the genie in 3 turns. Then one point in phantom. Then offering, which i give all my items up to make my skeletons amazingly strong. At offering level 3, skeletons can solo bone demons with a 33 percent chance at revive. Poor satan doesn't have a chance, if you dont kill yourself first. But then you have to take over his job , poor ronnie.

What is your stragety. Has anyone been able to use vamperic rain, or phantoms successfully, as a starting skill?
