Now I just see them as padding for my PK ratio.
<br>
<br>Simple rules to fighting a Necro;
<br>
<br>1. Always keep detect invis up.
<br>2. Carry a couple of teleport potions in your inventory.
<br>3. After level 27 never fight a Necro in an area with a locked room, or any room with a door if you're paranoid.
<br>4. If you fight them often, collect cure blind and disease preps.
<br>
<br>Do those four, and it's very hard for a necromancer to kill you. Spam bash, pincer, lash, whatever, and you'll kill a few. If they do happen to sleep you just flee; teleport away.
