Boy. I'm taking it nice and slow. I want to make sure I kill everyone and everything in my path. Right now I'm 15 entering the Outer Cloister with /p8. It's going sloooow.
I have had some really lucky drops though. So far, I have three yellow items that repair durability. Considering they aren't that bad, I'll probably be using them until I die. I also had a REALLY lucky drop on a head.
I forget the stats off the top of my head (pun not intended) but it's something like:
+2 Teeth
+2 Clay Golem
+1 Dim Vision
+2-7 poison damage
Increased Durability (22/22)
Socketed (2)
Let me tell you. It helps. So far I have 7 points into Teeth with the +2 from the shield. Considering it's /p8, teeth doesn't do much damage, however, I'm sure it'll be enough untill I get bone spear. I also decided to back up my damage with some undead mages. I feel that one point as a pre-req for them isn't bad at all, especially since they'll help lessen the load on my mana, which is in incredibly high demand.
I'm also struggling to balance my stats. I don't want too much strength and dex, especially since I'm a caster... but without enough, I won't be able to wear the better armor (although that doesn't seem to be much of a problem with the repair over time armors)... and with too much dex I won't be able to have the pure HP's to take the hits... especially elemental attacks.
I'm also coming to realize how insanely mana-inefficient the necro is compared to the sorc. I've only ever played a fishie with some slight bone spear backup, and this teeth stuff is really, and I mean REALLY killing my mana. With /p8 it takes all of my mana, and then some, to take out a pack of monsters. Not that I'm complaining... especially since my bone spear will rip shreds.
