Drop to 40 med and get 120 Necro (use wraith form for mana regen while hunting). With a level 3 necro mastery you can ride a mount and control 2 skeletal dragons. Use poison fields instead of poison spell. Wear as much SDI as you can, preferably 140+.
Use wraith form and EQ for low level critters. For tougher mobs the skeletal dragons can tank while you poison field and cast spells from behind.
Something to contemplate is dropping med and switching to bone/studded armor for the 55lmc and the ability to refine. Wisp + wraith and or lich keeps me going well enough with the 55 lmc. There is also mage mastery for mana emergencies.
Along with that you gotta ask yourself what you're using necro for, if you don't use the mastery or wither that can be dropped to 60 and still retain handy stuff like wraith, corpse skin, omen etc.
Those combined can be used for say something silly like 120 spell weaving, parry, so on and so on.
You guys are amazing, I will try this stuff out. Thank you!
Here's one of my necro mage tamers... sure no poison, I keep that on a few other necros but will maybe give some ideas.
120 tame
120 lore
55 necro
80 ss
120 magery
120 eval
105 vet
Fun, uses a few cheap skill items to boost ss to 120 and necro to 60. Can solo tons of stuff fast.
Here's more of my evil doers for reference/ideas

120 tactics
110 anatomy

120 mace
120 parry
100 poison
70 stealth

So on and so on, all my characters have necro in some manner. Even my alchemist and mule have it.
This is my Nox Mage that I built several years ago. He is the only character I have that has a perfectly built template, but even back in the day I never really spent much time using him. I just returned to the game and I'm settling on who I want to spend time with for PVM. I figured he was a good choice since he has a fully built template.
