[Necromancer] New under lvl 20 needing guidance for recommended PVE builds for a newbie

Just started playing AoC this year 2025 and wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for viable Necromancer builds for PVE. Not much of a PVP player yet as I just want to play through everything at least once before getting into that.

if you do find any guides they should be valid. As far as I understand not much has changed for spells/feats in 10 years.

resources are quite low for AOC just like AO…
AO at least has ao-universe but it still has very few class guides.

Sorry I am not much help =(

Welcome to game.

There is several tip for necros. And there is several ways to go. And this is my way, (leveld 7 necros )

  1. go for petts, let the petts pull adds, and dont Get to manny at once,
  2. USE your CCs and kille the before the come to u,
  3. I like mele petts over mage petts, use your frenzy pet to helt u
  4. USE dott always, the do more dmg than u think
  5. Icestrike is fast and also do AOE i use that over deadly blizzard
  6. lifestrike can be a lifesaver, so is the minion leach that dra inn healt from minions healing u
  7. In the start conserve your mana, it is hard mana wise for a necro, use petts when u can. When doing a PVE raid build i always have canibalism feated. Reason is to Get mana. This espesially before u Get ok gear With mana tap.

If u want a spec use something like this

That’s the spec I sue for raids and groups too, but for solo play I prefer to use ranged pets because of their aoe, with a build like this.
If you want to use frenzy, you can still get 2 melee pets and the rest casters.

Thanks for replying and the information is a big help. I did take a break from Necro for awhile and have been playing DT which I have made it out of Tortage and past lvl 20. Still learning the game and will use your guidance to continue my Necro in time.
